"Fact: Doozers Pub is the shit. Is there any other public punk place in the city? No. Whatever you were gonna say, shut up. There might be punk shows here and there, there might be some yuppie bar with a Ramones song on the jukebox, and you might have even seen someone with a fauxhawk at a park once. Shut up. We’re talking about Doozers, not losers. The Dooz turns two years old on Friday so come celebrate with 6 of Jacksonville’s best local bands (Jacksonville has more than 6 good local bands? Yes.) that will move your spirit and bowels. Oh, your friend’s band isn’t playing? Shut up. Get out of your fucking box sometime.

What’s the best part about Doozers? Well, for starters, no one gives a fuck who you are. All those hard earned scene points don’t mean shit when you belly up to the bar in between a drunk biker and Uncle J. If you think people should give a fuck who you are, shut up. Fuck off. No one cares. And that is the beauty of it. There is a tribal mixture at Doozers not unlike the noble and undefeated Seminoles who once called this area home. All types of misfits, losers, dropouts, and other unmentionables and undesirables congregate at the Dooz to create a vibrant and roughshod community based on love, beer, music, and survival. Don’t think the Dooz runs on love? Go ask TJ about the balance sheet, or the bartenders about salary, or volunteers who painted and helped decorate the place. Now shut up.

Another wonderful thing about the Dooz is that 68th and Main is so far away from your luxury condo in Ortega, you slimy fucking American pig dog. This means beer is cheap and so are you. It also means cops don’t give a fuck about noise complaints. Cops got called one night and the drummer cheezed and got up from the kit. You know what the cop thought about noise complaints? He opened the fucking door, sat down at the kit in full uniform, and pounded the skins like John Bonham. Yeah I said John Bonham. Shut up.

Good bands from around Florida, the nation, and even the world enjoy the atmosphere at the Dooz. Most complain bitterly that there is nothing like this in their whack ass city. Doozers gives touring bands the chance to play for people who actually enjoy live music, not standing outside until their friend’s band plays and then leaving afterward. But the best part is that Doozers provides a space for local music to blossom outside the trendy sycophant talentless scene. Come play Dooz and you’ll be judged on how good your fucking band sounds and not much else. Baxter likes just about everything, so if you don’t have any new fans after a Doozers show, you suck. Shut up.

So come to Doozers Friday, September 11 to celebrate 2 years since TJ took over the Kuntry Tavern and provided all of us a place to drink and be merry. Grabbag, Talk Sick Earth, Poncho Villa and the Banditos, SPP, the 2416, and Skatterbrain all play for a recession/..depression friendly $5. If you think you have something better to do, fuck you. Shut up."

Any bands interested in booking just send me a message. I do not book through any booking agency or promotions companies usually, only through direct messages and phonecalls. On occasion I do allow 3 people to book here; Imperial Presents (Eddie), Vomikaust (Sam), and Chaosound(Ern). Before you message, be aware, we do not give guarantees on amount bands will be paid. Bands make the money made at the door, nothing more, nothing less. We don't discriminate on genres of music, but we do tend to book more punk shows than anything. We ask bands not to cover copyrighted music and to only play their original songs. We have our own PA and mics but you are welcome to bring your own mics to use. We can't typically have weekday shows.. we try to stick to Fridays, and Saturdays. Occasionally we do have weekday shows but not very often, so sorry ahead of time if we can't book you on the date you'll be in town. I like for the bands to be at the pub by 8pm, that way there is no confusion on if you're coming or not and gives time to load in before people come. We are located at 7636 North Main Street Jacksonville, Florida 32208. If you need any other information message me on here, email me at DoozersPub@myspace.com, or you can contact me on my cell, my number is 904-402-5722.
