Remember Jones will perform at House of Independents in Asbury Park.

It was announced last week that the Asbury Park nightclub House of Independents will reopen in the summer, under new management. And today, the first 14 shows — and a very diverse batch of shows, at that — have been announced. They include local rock scene veteran Remember Jones as well as comedy, a musical based on the movie “The Call of Cthulhu,” and lots of dance-oriented shows.

For information and tickets, visit houseofindependents.com.

Here is the schedule:

June 9: “The Latin Social” (a 1 p.m. show with live performances, DJ music and salsa lessons)
June 13: Ed Bassmaster (prank comedian)
June 14: Dueling Pianos (“part rock show, part comedy show”)
June 21: The Taylor Party (Taylor Swift dance party)
June 22: BTS Day Party: 11th Anniversary Kpop Party
June 28: Jersey Shore Freestyle featuring TKA and others
June 29: Remember Jones. (“Full band, special guests, high energy set,” says Remember Jones. “With original music as well as new material to debut.”)
July 2: “Cthulhu: The Musical!” A “rock’n’roll comedy” stage version of the 2005 horror movie, “The Call of Cthulhu,” performed by puppets.
July 5: “Hyperglow” (billed as “America’s Largest Glow Party”)
July 9: Prince Daddy & the Hyena (emo-punk band)
July 12: “The Bieber Party: Justin Bieber Night”

House of Independents closed in September because of flooding damage, and announced in November that it would remain closed “for the foreseeable future.” The club’s new owner is Concert Crave, a company that owns Crave Cave in Elizabeth and The Webster in Hartford, and has presented shows at many other venues, including The Wellmont Theater in Montclair, The Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, and House of Independents itself.
