Rent Party Presents The Feelies

New Jersey-based avant-pop pioneers the Feelies will be performing a pair of 40th Anniversary Celebration shows at The Woodlands in Maplewood, New Jersey on Friday and Saturday June 10 and 11. Both shows will see the band joined onstage by friends and very special guests. The presenter of these concerts is the non-profit organization Rent Party (http://rentpartylive.com/wp/). Started in 2009, Rent Party is a once-a-month live music event at The Woodland. The proceeds from these shows help fight hunger in our community. Rent Party supports three local food pantries. They built and maintain a large community garden on the front lawn of the South Orange Elks that raises fresh produce for the pantries they support. Rent Party's BackPack Pals program provides a weekend's worth of nutritious food to about 100 food-insecure kids in our schools.

Bar/None Records is re-releasing the third and fourth albums from New Jersey-based avant-pop pioneers the Feelies, Only Life and Time for a Witness. Both albums are being issued March 11. As a special Record Store Day release Bar None/Coyote Records will co-release the Feelies Uncovered. This will be a limited edition 12 EP featuring studio recordings of four cover songs, none commercially available before:
Seven Days (Bob Dylan), Take It As It Comes (The Doors), Dancing Barefoot (Patti Smith), and Bar Stool Blues (Neil Young). In addition, the Feelies recently wrapped up work on a brand new studio album, expected to be released later this year.
