"Say hello to the warmth of black.. Ride on, ride on when you can't turn back..."
Welcome to the site for the band, Afterglow. This is the semi acoustic guitar flavored band with congas, bells, and sugary vox femme at the top and the rubber soul bass on the bottom, from the Asbury Park, New Jersey area.
"Wait a minute...Is this is that band, that we saw out at that coffeehouse, or at The Saint, or some other place in Asbury Park, burning incense on stage, with the toy piano and songs about monsters? Suddenly, one of the singers would throw down her guitar, and pick up the doumbek, and join the percussionist, and the other singer who was playing maracas in a polyphonic craze? Maybe the fuzz of the espresso machine would go off in the middle of their most quiet creepilicious song, but that was okay - they still played on... Didn't your grandma and the metal head next door go see their shows with us outside? And your little sister was dancing to them too...? Oh, and the guy did the guitar solos on his acoustic?! Oh yeah, and they played at one of the very first Asbury Music Awards....?"
