Where we were...
About 6 years ago, The Rocklobster was one of the most attended and influential venues in Long Island Music. It was "a place where bands went to grow up..." bands like Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New and many more have their roots in the rocklobster. The sound may not have been great, the environment may not be a classic rock club, but when the lights are down, the music is loud, and the room is packed full of happy, sober, loud teens, you really can't beat it. There was no stage, there was no drugs or alcohol. Just music, friends, and perhaps one of the best parties on long island EVERY MONTH.
Where we are...
The recent dip in the Long Island music scene due to club owners' leaning toward cover bands, tribute bands, and DJs, too many similar sounding bands, and the new "purchase tickets to play" rule at most venues on the island, as well as the fact that most shows are 21+ these days, had brought the Rocklobster into severe hurt. for a long time, the same three bands performed month after month to smaller and smaller crowds. in the last few years, the booking and management of the event changed hands and has slowly been climbing. local bands get a chance to play in front of their friends, and the event is becoming something of a local phenomenon to the glen head/glen cove area, but that isn't enough.
Now the lobster has a drum riser to increase the energy at shows, along with a MUCH better sound system with two subs and 24 channels in the mixer. A new lighting truss and backdrops for the stage area, but it's still the same event. the lights go down, the people crowd in, and the band is still on the same level as the crowd rocking WITH them, not at them. The goal is to pack the venue to capacity, 244 people, at EVERY show. We also want young bands to always have a chance to play, but not just to play for an empty room, to open up for established bands, to perform with their heroes. the more people come to the shows, the more money the event will generate and soon the Rocklobster will be able to bring in national acts to headline! often two stages are set up, so there is never a break in the music and there is always room for local young musicians!
We are the North Shore Rock Lobster....we run monthly shows through the Boys and Girls Club...These are all ages shows for anyone who just loves to listen and appreciate good rock music...On a Saturday night the Rock Lobster is the place to be...not only are we bringing great music to teens, but we are also promoting a Drug Free, Smoke Free, Alcohol Free Enviornment for these teens...Contact us whenever you like to get further details about either coming to a show or possibly booking your band...just ask for Pat or Amanda!
See you there!

Thank you for the add and for your support in this vital cause to increase the effort to EDUCATE our youth of the dangers of drugs and violence. Our future generation depends on the youth of today. Alcohol and Drugs are plaguing our society and we need to attack it head on where it is digging its roots; with our youth in our schools. Knowledge and Truth are the key to help them stay clean. They deserve the TRUTH about all of the drugs they will incounter. They are simply too smart to accept the old 'Just Say NO' adage. Todays teens want to KNOW for themselves, and a rebellious society we have created. They will seek the truth themselves and we must educate them with it. Can you handle the truth? That's what they respect. That's what they deserve! A NEW D.A.R.E. REQUIRES A NEW APPROACH Please help spread the word and tell your friends about D.A.R.E. Feel free to visit D.A.R.E. online at www. dare. com to show your support and/or shop for official D.A.R.E. merchandise. Peace :-)
