The Trusties-Stone Pony,Asbury Park, N.J. 4/26/2014

Local band The Trusties performed their second ever set at the legendary Stone Pony on Saturday April 26.
Comprised on students from Monmouth University, the band has performed several shows at the Brighton Bar in Long Branch, and have a track that will be featured on the upcoming Blue Hawks Records sampler.
 The band is comprised of Rich Pinnola on guitar and vocals, Dave DePaola on bass & guitar, and Andy Jackle on drums.
 The set for this show was comprised mostly of originals, with one cover song. Their shows usually consist of several originals, with a few covers thrown in. Their covers range from Gin Blossoms to The Cars to Sugar Ray to Rush. Surprisingly, they have only played one of the covers more than once, in a concert setting.
 They label themselves as Punk Rock, but this gives a very limited definition of what they are and what they play. The musicianship has gotten tighter and the songs get better with each show, so it's no surprise that they are finding a lot of activity in the area.
 Looking forward to the next show, and whatever surprises they have in store for the audience.
 Here's the setlist for the Stone Pony performance:

                  Found Time
                  And I'm Still Not Sure
                  Palm Trees & Power Lines
                  Dear Stacey
                  By the Way(Red Hot Chili Peppers cover)
                  Rust
                  Grain of Salt
