Bleachers Are Back
Jack Antonoff [first featured in the April 2013 issue of (201) Magazine] released “Everyone For Ten Minutes,” the fifth studio album from his band, Bleachers. Antonoff celebrated the release with a show at The Stone Pony Summer Stage in Asbury Park, which also featured Ridgewood band Real Estate [first featured in the June 2018 issue of (201) Magazine]. Bleachers are currently on a U.S. tour, which stopped at Madison Square Garden on June 23.
Pierson’s Playhouse
The annual Netflix Is a Joke Festival kicked off with the 40th Anniversary celebration of Pee-wee’s Playhouse. The show opened with The B-52s’ Kate Pierson [first featured in the April 2013 issue of (201) Magazine] singing the Playhouse theme song — originally sung by an uncredited Cyndi Lauper. The show also featured performances from Danny Elfman, Mark Mothersbaugh and Fred Armisen. The secret word of the night was “fantastic.”

Ramsey-The Pull Up with Scoop B
After a 10-year run with the Scoop B Radio podcast, basketball insider Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson [first featured in the July 2021 issue of (201) Magazine] is back with a new show on YouTube. “The premiere of The Pull Up With Scoop B on May 18 was a full-circle moment for my career,” Robinson says. “My foundation in this industry was built in East Rutherford, where I spent my childhood roaming the halls of the Continental Airlines Arena as a pre-teen host for the New Jersey Nets. That early experience in the heart of Bergen County sports culture, paired with the discipline and Ironman mentality I later developed at Don Bosco Prep, has been the driving force behind my professional journey. This new series is a culmination of those experiences, bringing a high-level, global perspective back to the community where it all started.”
Bergen Face-Off
Paul Rudd [first featured in the June 2025 issue of (201) Magazine] and Nick Jonas [first featured in the July 2008 issue of (201) Magazine] star in Power Ballad, a comedy-drama about a struggling Irish wedding singer (Rudd) who clashes with a former boy band star (Jonas) after the musician steals his original song and transforms it into a chart-topping hit.
