After seeing the J---s Brothers on the cover of Rolling Stone...we decieded to take a step back and think, does anyone even want to hear real, talented, songwriters/musicians play real rock music live anymore?
We mean really, we know we kind of asked for this; when we were growing up and bought Straight Outta Compton and then The Chronic....but if we knew that it would mean there would be only 3 venues to play our guitars and drums, we might not have bought the stuff, ya know?...If we knew Kayne West was going to MTV's Best New Artist, things mighta been a little different at Sam Goody....we might not have stolen that Ghetto Boys CD, who knows?...Metallica and Napster in the late 90's, what a mess!........what a total shit show this music world has become.
We love Run DMC....does that mean we want music clubs to close? No. But they keep on closing.
Nobody buys records anymore, rock music clubs all over the USA are closing because nobody goes to shows anymore, Wilco is selling songs to Kelly Clarkson because radio stations play American Idol singers....and Oh! The Pope signed with Geffen Records, the same label as Snoop!

Where is Huey Lewis when the heart of rock and roll really needs him? Haha!
At least Jaxon plays local bands and supports them on WMMR, actually spinning them!....a few other stations do too but, that didn't stop the Grape Street Pub, 218, Abilene's, etc...from shutting down.
So after some time away, we decieded to stop thinking, have some beers and play some music and record some music....even if the masses don't dig it...we still "like it, like it, yes I do."
Hope to maybe or maybe not....post some gigs in January...we might open for the Pope at The Troc or something. Haha.
Stay puckered.
Peace and Happy Holidaze ya'll.
