Meet… Lost In Society

Written By Mike Greenblatt
Lost In Society

Zach Moyle and Nick Ruroede of the Asbury Park band Lost In Society have been at it for two decades together. Their new song—complete with new drummer Gee Lima and new guitarist Tom Blaney—was inspired by Pavement’s 1994 “Gold Soundz.” It’s called “Wake Up,” is on California label Wiretap Records, and was produced by Pete Steinkopf of The Bouncing Souls (from New Brunswick).

Bassist Ruroede:  "I never listened to Pavement growing up and then at some point my wife introduced me to `Gold Soundz’ and I just would repeat Pavement all day long. This song came from that time period. It was the last song we worked on for the new batch of recordings and is by far my favorite. I think Zach did a really good job lyrically on `Wake Up’ of expressing what it's like when your life doesn't turn out the way you might have thought it would and coming to terms with that."

You can hear Lost In Society tonight at the Yonkers Brewing Company in New York, tomorrow at the 20th Anniversary Salty’s Beach Bar show in Belmar and July 26 in Blue Island, Illinois, at Pubtime.
