Jake Morris Group Wins CMJ! (In a Tie)

Outside, Leonard St,NYC, in front of the Knitting Factory:
"Hey! Hey! Please I have a Very Important Client coming in 15 minutes"screams a long blonde tressed executive in 5 inch heels as she pounds on the window and exterior of a converted ice cream truck, now the vessel to the bombastic BEATS and narratives of Andre the Giant and Lionel Richie that is Rob Walmart.
Earlier, a trenchcoat wing tip stormtrooper, still gliding through the streets via his golden parachute blasts "Hey, you gotta turn that down!" He doesn't ask.
As the grey hair skulks away the volume lowers .0000005 decibels for 2.5 seconds, then returns to full block party levels.
A woman and her two toy dogs, pause a moment to take it all in. Chantelle flees inside, "I'm gonna get in trouble".
Beastie Boy Mike D rides by on his bicycle, looking weathered and unfamous.

Then we played and it was pretty good.

News's

Hi there to anyone still paying any attention.
Looks like there is pretty solid evidence of an upcoming Joggers/Pan Tourismos split 7" in the works.
That's as many details that exist so far. Songs, number of songs etc. are all being sifted and lifted in the boredroom as we speak.
It will come out on Partisan, date TBA

...IN OTHER NEWS
Jake Morris Group, featuring Dan Wilson and Josh Wise from French Kicks will be playing 3 shows in NYC during CMJ.
check it all out at the myspace
If you are around come by. Joggers proper have not been there in quite some time.
And if the songs up on the JMGmyspace don't impress, don't let that deter you, as most of the material being performed will be a new batch of music created in NY, right in front OF YOUR EYES

Hope to have more for you soon!

Love,
us

What Are U Guys Doing??!?!?!?

Fact: We are playing two shows in Portland. July 17th @ East End w/ Panther. AND with...POLVO(!) for MFNW.
Any other details about upcoming recordings and the like are way up in the air.
The ancient Greeks called what we are doing "chillin on things"

Thanks, talk soon.

For Paul

RE: Tour Cd's

There have been some requests for The TOUR ONLY cd's. Unfortunately at this time they are going to stay true to their title, TOUR ONLY. Some of the material we are still hoping to 'officially' release and will let y'allz know if/when that becomes a reality. Sorry to those of you in areas we didn't cover on this tour, that was out of our hands, and to those who were in tour range, your loss bro. We still have one show in Seattle next weekend, might have some avails fer that show.

Sorry but hopefully with a little luck we'll have an official release, or @ least news of something in that area in the not too distant futura.

Meanwhile we are trying to adjust to civilian life, and hash out our future exploits. Thanks to all who came out again, and for all of your interest.

Let's Hang Out Soon!

Portland, Canada, Home

Home, great times. Thanks again to Stephen, Janet, Joanna, Mike, Mark and Dutch. A blast.
Victoria was arguably our best show to date, even though we played too short. And Vancouver came close, as well, but was trumped by the duck pin bowling, air hockey, pool jam that followed in it's wake.

Oh and Portland show goers, we won't be seeing you (from the stage) in a long time. Might have something to do with you being the lamest audience of an entire tour.

We'll be headin to Seattle next weekend for a show with our main bros. French Kicks.
Until then back to civilian life.
Thanks to everyone who came out, bought stuff and most of all, those who put us up (One Hotel whole tour!)

Playin Catchup

Arcata:






Eug:

Oh Herro.
So we all got to sleep in our own beds last night after truckin home from Eugene.
Photo's and reviews can be found



Recap:
Sacramento, Did Yes cover in honor of the presence of THE Gary Young. Meeting/hanging with him is everything you'd expect, and a little more from Pavements first and best drummer.
Felt bad he couldn't have played it with us but we could barely play it ourselves. Laughed harder with the whole crew than I can remember. Stephen stunted our t shirt sales .Jicks were FIRE.

Arcata. Pulling up to the pizza place, expectations were honestly low, but turned into Humboldt Hoedown.
Dreaded Hippies chix shimmying on tables, sweating enough to steam the restaurant windows, and some of the best tour stories we have heard anywhere. Thanxxx doods!

So tonight we play our hometown, but the stay is brief, off to The Great White North early tomorrow, toodlez
