This bill reads like a love letter to everything the Basement does best: local legends leveling the room, touring heavy‑hitters rolling through town, and hungry support bands riding real momentum. From lysergic psych and blown‑out garage rock to warm indie/folk textures and free‑wheeling jam explorations, it’s a wall‑to‑wall lineup with zero skips—a stacked night where every set feels like a headliner and the only wrong move is showing up late.
Gods (NJ)
GODS are an Asbury Park riff‑slinging powerhouse, dealing in huge guitars, pounding drums, and shout‑along hooks that slam somewhere between classic psych and garage rock. They’re making their return to the Basement after a brief period of inactivity, coming back sharpened and louder, ready to blow the roof floor off the basement!
In The Pines (OH)
Currently on a tour and making their Asbury Park debut. Wide-eyed and longing, In The Pines creates its own sacred geometry of rock. Through unexpected collisions of psychedelia, prog rock, shoegaze, and blues, the band decorates a sprawling sonic landscape with lyrics and melodies that walk a tightrope of restless, youthful exploration and mystical profundity.
DD Island (NY)
Also making their Asbury Park debut, DD Island is a Brooklyn-based indie/folk-rock band known for crafting warm, hazy, and beachy psychedelic tunes. Their sound often features dreamy guitars, fuzzy drums, and laid-back, lo-fi vibes. The group is set to release their debut full-length record, Setting Sun, in spring 2026.
