We’re Back

January 25th, 2010 by mjohnson

Hey all!  Happy Belated Holidays!  Wow, Christmas was a month ago today…ah well.

Our first show of 2K10 is at Greene Turtle in Germantown on February 12th.  It should be awesome.  Come on out if you are looking for a night of sliders and improv.

 

We’re also on Facebook and Twiter (Myspace is so 2007).

Any cover ideas?

Thank You and Happy Thanksgiving…

November 27th, 2009 by mjohnson

Growlers

Man, Thanksgiving Eve at Growlers was a hell of a show for us.  We want to thank all of the people that came out and partied with us til late.  That’s definitely one of the more happening bar nights of the year.

The 2nd set seemed to fly by, and our renditions of “Benny and the Jets” and “Bulls on Parade” got quite an ovation.

Be sure to come check us out at Greene Turtle in Germantown on Friday, December 11th.  We’ll try to have a few more surprises for you all for that one.  I’m sure our 5 heads together should come up with something spicy.  Hopefully we’ll have some new originals ready by then as well.

Again, thank you to all of our families, friends and fans.  We are truly thankful for all of you.  We have a blast playing for you.

Halloween was a Thrill

November 2nd, 2009 by mjohnson

Viking, Batman, James Edward Blues

Halloween was a lot of fun.  Thanks to everyone that came out and rocked Growlers with us.

Who do you think had the best costume out of the band?

  1. Blues Brother – Justin
  2. Viking – Jake
  3. Batman – Mark
  4. Cop – Matt
  5. Army Zombie – Clay

I for one vote for Jake.  His costume was hilarious.  And with the Vikings victory over the Packers in Green Bay, it was both foretelling and apt.

Cheers.

MJ + J5 = MJ5…Tonight at Chloe’s Coffee

October 23rd, 2009 by mjohnson

J5 and I are playing some acoustic stuff tonight at Chloe’s Coffee in the Kentlands…you should come by if you aren’t doing anything.

I’ve never been to this place, but I’ve heard excellent things.  Now I don’t know how much coffee I’ll be drinking prior to this performance (not trying to be a sweaty, anxiety ridden mess), but I would like to sample some…maybe just a sip.

We are also going to start selling our CDs from there, so if you can’t get out to a show to buy one, and you are archaic enough to not own an Ipod (and buy the album from Amazon or Itunes), you can stop in at Chloe’s and pick up your copy of “Comparing Ways”, the crown jewel of DC music…

But you could get one from myself or J5 tonight.  We’ll have some on us.  Come say hi :)

Skins 2-2…SU Speakers 1-0

Skins Extravaganza

 

 

  Sunday we played @ Fed Ex Field celebrating the 3rd annual Skins Extravanganza, a benefit that donates proceeds to the Boys & Girls Club of America.

And although the skins won, we lost a speaker…the speaker catching fire shortly into one of our sets. We managed to continue playing with the lone speaker & we couldn’t of had a better time.

Thanks to everyone involved for having us & we hope to be back soon.
