Beyond the Palace. By Gary Wien. (Trafford Publishing, 2006, 400 pages, $26). Asburymusic.com. “The Struggling City along the Jersey Shore music history unlike any other.” A Jersey guy and publisher of Backstreets Magazine writes about the vibrant Asbury Park music scene. And not just the Stone Pony and the Boss, but he also gets in hip scenes like the Upstage, Fastlane, Student Prince, Sunshine In, Jim’s, Harry’s Roadhouse, the Casino, the Palace, and the bands that played there - South Side, Dr. Zoom and the Sonic Boom, Jody Joseph & the Average Joes, John Eddie, the Bongos, David Sancious, Well of Soul, the Whirling Derrishes and Everlounge, Fran Smith, the Shakes, James Deeley & the Valiants, Dramarama, Red House and the T Birds Café & the Saint. Billy Hector, who you will hear from again, gets a whole chapter. With 70 classic pix by Debra L. Rothenberg.
