Written By Mike Greenblatt
The Feelies

Has it really been a half-century since The Feelies came out of Passaic County? Hatched in 1976, The Feelies kick-started the ‘80s with Crazy Rhythms and solidified their legend with The Good Earth in 1986. In celebration of this achievement, they will be performing both albums in their entirety May 22 and 23 at White Eagle Hall in Jersey City. It will be their only shows of 2026. They were silent for 17 years (1991 to 2008). They’ve shared stages with Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Sonic Youth and R.E.M. They appeared in the 1986 Jonathan Demme film Something Wild (see below). Their eighth album, Rewind, came out last year
