SPECIAL THANKS

 

No Left Turn thanks all of you who showed up at the Point Pleasant Community Park for the Katrina/Rita Benefit Jam.  It was a beautiful day and all of the bands rocked.  The bands who performed included the Mangos, the Mike Dalton Band, Disgruntled Postal Workers, Stir Crazy, Gary Cook and the Cookbooks, and Billy Hector.

We also thank all of you who came out to the benefit for the Jersey Shore Animal Center http://www.jerseyshoreanimalcenter.org/ at Use to Be’s.  The event was poorly run but those responsible have been fired.  The benefit provided much needed funds for the animal shelter.

Look for NO LEFT TURN Signs all over New Jersey

(Really; Lenny, Chip, and Dave still stay up very late at night erecting “No Left Turn” signs at various locations throughout the State to promote the band, to annoy drivers, and to generate revenue for the State.  Check it out.)  

 

 

Although NO LEFT TURN plays Gibson and Dean guitars, Fender basses,

Shiny Chrome Pearl and Yamaha Drums and Peavey Amplification,

they are supported by…………………….Their friends!

From their website:  The Mike Dalton Band Is Rocking The East Coast Arts & Entertainment - Atom Tabloid & Citizen-Gazette - Devine Media Enterprises Staff Report Posted Online September 17, 2003……………………………………………..

“The Mike Dalton Band, out of Pt. Pleasant, is on a fast track to being soon recognized as making it to the Billboard Charts.  The band, whose style is a combination of  Bruce Springsteen  and Dave Matthews,  has played over 104 venues that cover the East Coast from South to North Jersey, New York and Connecticut.  Mike Dalton, singer, guitarist, and pianist of the band, has composed three CDs consisting of original songs they also perform at their shows and is currently finishing up their 4th CD soon to be released in mid-October. He has also written songs for major television network airplay.”

 

 

HISTORY

 

Once upon a garage, a long, long, time ago, there was a band called Seeing Double.  This Seeing Double band is no relation to the Seeing Double Band currently playing local venues.  Anyway, Lenny and Dave were both members of this classic rock cover and original rock band.  They were known for being loud and obnoxious (Chris Nickerson was also in the band) and rocked places like the Village Inn, The Stone Pony, backyards, Lenny’s house, etc.  Anyway, shit  happened, yadda, yadda, yadda, and the band disbanded.  Eventually Dave ended up playing with Stir Crazy and Lenny found Chip and along with one of his best friends, Johnny, formed No Left Turn.  And everyone was happy.   

 

Well, because of some real important and noble purposes, Johnny of No Left Turn, had to move to California.  Since that is a hell of a commute from/to New Jersey, he had to resign from No Left Turn.  Lenny, knowing that Stir Crazy was not booking gigs on a frequent basis, turned to Dave and said “Dave, won’t you please join our band?  Well as you might have already guessed, Dave replied in the affirmative and a new era of No Left Turn had commenced.  Johnny is missed and is always welcome.  Hey Johnny!

 

With a steady monthly gig at the Red Lion in Brick and other appearances at Mugsy’s in Toms River, Mulligan’s in Farmingdale, and the West Side Tavern and the Idle Hour in Point Pleasant; Lenny, Chip, and Dave have really tightened up their performance and truly enjoy every minute of playing for their fans. 

 

Dave still plays with Stir Crazy now and then.  He’s an Architect by day and his hobbies include watching Tv and that’s pretty much it except for writing drivel on websites.

 

Lenny aspires to get a gig with Ozzy and is a Mason by day.   Lenny sends demo tapes to Ozzy, but unbeknownst to him, Dave sends Ozzy emails regarding Lenny and they are NOT complimentary.  The reason for this, of course, is so that Lenny won’t end up touring with Ozzy and leaving No Left Turn in the dust, which, of course, anybody in their right mind would do.  Just think of all the parties and stuff and all the other celebrities and rock star type people he would meet.   Sorry Lenny, can’t let you do it.  We need you here. 

 

Chip is a Surveyor by trade and, in his free time, rides all sorts of gas powered bikes and quads.  It’s actually quite amazing.  We’ll try to get some pics and short vids of his dirt riding exploits on this site soon. 

 

Check back for embarrassing and incriminating photos.
