Moving in slow motion

I have been running myself a little ragged, doing stuff for the band, while trying to stay motivated to do my art at the same time. The days tick by when you don't have a set schedule. So much free time but it all disappears so quickly.

We have so many new shows coming in. Hopefully this means that the record is going over well with the few people that have heard it so far. Come see us at the Fire on May 9th. Big Saturday show added just recently. Only a week to promote it so we better get busy...

If anyone wants a free sticker, we should have them soon. Email me your address and I will send you one: band@jetfighterband.com

Working out the kinks.

Hey everyone.

So Jared has been away in New York doing artsy photographer stuff. Its actually kind of good to sit back and reflect on our first few shows and make some adjustments. Its difficult making the transition into playing out a lot. I have always been a songwriter first and foremost and though I have played a good many shows, I am still working out the kinks. Its funny, looking at some video of our first few shows made me go out and buy a new guitar. lol. Which is funny because I am broke. Needed a backup and for tone issues. Mr. Mike Spano has produced another rad video - check it out on our myspace. Its weird, interesting and awesome. We owe him big.

The cartoon above is one of my new ones - I have been toying with Toon Boom. I had this big idea to animate a video and I realized...that animating is HARD and TIME CONSUMING. I then had the great idea to leave the video making to the pros, like Mike.

Check out our schedule and make it out whenever you can.

Last Second Addition - Doc Watson's TONIGHT

To anyone looking for something to do later, we suddenly find ourselves playing Doc Watson's tonight April 16th 2009.

Doc Watson's
216 S. 11th St
$5 Doors at 9pm.

We play third, so plan on knocking a few back.

I swear, Jared is a marketing cyborg. He is lining up shows like he is Don King. We would probably still be doing open mic at dive bars without him.

Easter Dinner? Pshhh, naaaah I'm cool...

All of our friends and family hate us right now because we have sacrificed Easter dinner to finish mixing our album tomorrow. But it had to be done. This is the final step in a long process and we can't wait to have the thing done. We have been practicing incessantly too so hopefully we will go into the show on Tuesday sounding like we have been touring for 2 years straight.

Oh yeah, our first video is up on our myspace page - check it out. Now. I am mean right now. Don't even finish reading this sentence.
