Yep. We're 5 years old as of April 3rd, and I think it's about 70 in 'band years'. Some facts and figures that are almost completely outta an ass somewhere: The band: - Has over 4 sets of original material. Some of it is fantastic, some is merely awesome. - Has a 1/4 recorded record. We're waiting for the economic collapse so we can finish it, using chickens and sharpened sticks as barter. - We've practiced together about 1500 hours, which comes out to be about two months straight; no breaks. It seems like more. - we practiced for two years before we played our first show. (at the Kato Ballroom for those who are keeping track.) - According to the YouTubes, The Schmoejoes are loved roughly equally by teen-age girls and men over 55. Oddly, that is exactly the demographic I was aiming at. - According to Mom, I've been writing songs since I was about 4. - The last three years have each been, "The Year of The Schmoejoes". I expect this will be true this year as well. - Winona Ryder has a Schmoejoes t-shirt. - I played drums in a movie called 'Kwik Stop'. Uncredited :| - Jim, Bob, and I lived blocks away from each other in Northeast Minneapolis before we met, years later. - The Schmoejoes is shortened from 'Joe Schmoe and the Schmoejoes'. It didn't help. - Prince once saw me play guitar. I still want to crawl in a hole. - The first guitar I bought was 3 dollars. I bought it from my friend Woody, who purchased it moments earlier for 2 dollars. I still have it. I'm waiting for someone to buy it for 4 dollars. That's all you get for now. Shows on the way, and a ton of new tunes.
