I’ve got THREE new videos from Ox Roxley! He went to Hibiscus, Sherlock’s, and JR’s Tavern. I haven’t even been to Hibiscus or JR’s Tavern. He voted Hibiscus as his favorite, so I’ll be out there soon enough!
Thanks Ox Roxley!
Why do you go to open mics? Why does anyone want to go to an open mic?
Tell me why in a comment.
Alex Siniari
Dustin Miller
I’ve interviewed both Dustin Miller and Alex Siniari before on JerseyMic. I’ve talked about Alex’s blog before and I’ve seen them at a lot of open mics.
And if you’ve kept up on Alex’s blog, you’d see that the two of them have been working on an album together. And they’ve been preparing for their NJ tour.
They’ve planned the tour in “phases”. Every month is a new phase, and something new will be introduced into the show, or something will be built upon. Right now they switch back and forth playing their music, but as the months go on:
- they’ll be playing on each other’s songs
- there will be more instruments
- they’ll be looping sounds behind them
And more. In fact, Dustin’s blog has a little droplet more (from the only post so far on thedrummist.blogspot.com):
Phase #2 – 10:
These phases of our “tour” will get increasingly complex, with a move towards using loop pedals and various other effects and instruments to create a fuller sound on stage. By Phase #10 we hope to achieve a “full band” effect, using drums, percussion, pre-recorded loops and ambient noises, multiple guitars, and other forms of sonic communication.
Alex’s site has an up-to-date listing of upcoming shows. Here’s what’s in store for now:
10/30/09 7PM The Treehouse Cafe Audubon NJ
10/31/09 7PM Trinity Irish Pub The Pier@ Caesers Atlantic CIty NJ
11/06/09 6PM The Groundhouse Pitman NJ
11/08/09 7PM The Twisted Tree Cafe Asbury Park NJ
I’ll keep you updated about the tour periodically, and if you want to show up to one of the dates, feel free to email me about it!

Ox Roxley is the name of the next set of hands helping out JerseyMic.com. He’s agreed to send me video clips from open mics he goes to, shortened to include the best 30 seconds from different acts of the night.
Be excited! He’s been to three other open mics this week alone, including:
- Gregorio’s Market Open Mic in Mays Landing, NJ
- Sherlock’s Books and Cafe in Smithville, NJ
- and The Music Boutique in Northfield NJ
And he’s got clips from the three of them! I’ll be uploading them here soon, but if you want to find out more about Ox Roxley, check out his myspace at:

He’s a Brigantine local and a very talented musician. Expect a blast of posts coming up with video clips from him and hopefully some reviews if he feels so inclined!
