So, my band got reviewed in the paper today! I thought it was crazy awesome.
Second, Empyrean’s excuse for a house band, Natural Jazzaster, offered up shabby, compelling free jazz sketches from behind a battered Rhodes piano, a battered upright bass and a battered green fedora.
hehehe!! This is the kind of review we’ve waiting for!!
As a noise-jazz band we kind of aim to make our audience vomit.
Heck yes!!

Do you have any of your music uploaded to the internet?
Your humility is endearing and laudable… standing ovation
Perhaps you could market your CDs to bulimics?
Not to threadjack, but I posted a similar ad to try and sell my old entertainment center…
Wood veneer and scratched wood veneer finish shows crappy particle board construction. Sagging shelves demonstrate particle board’s inability to hold shape. Missing hinge on door causes it to fall off every time you open it. This piece just exudes thrift and modesty.
It’s ugly, but it’ll keep your TV off the floor and your stack of DVDs from falling over. Collects dust quickly and efficiently. Can withstand assaults from multiple cats. Simple enough for President Bush to install and use.
Got no shame? Come pick this up…

Fixed for your promo material.
Ha! That’s the way to do things.
I’m not sure if Al’s uploaded our tunes yet and I’m too lazy to check but this is our URL.

That was a sweet show, even though I only watched you guys play, then had to leave.
In short, I would buy your cd.
That journalist sucks at reviews…who would use “battered” three times in a row?
A retard with awful writing skills.
Cool you got in the paper.
I was afraid this thread was going to be about Goat News in the paper:
Good News: Less Goat Suckers.
Bad News: Increase in Goat Sacrifices .

Also this. Goats become sacrifical lambs for airline.
I was cofused when he said that we were “shabby” and “compelling”…
ABOUT THAT HAT!
Uh, I think I had that one covered.
Interesting they say sacrificial lambs though, wouldn’t sacrificial kids be more accurate if they were young goats?

Many a reviewer would use it.
For effect.
For rhythm.
For cadence.
He’s writing about a free-form jazz band, allow him to use more than words?
It’s also a fun way to suggest that they’re a three-piece band without saying ‘they’re a three-piece band’, which would just be the boring, REVIEW 101 way of handling it.
That construct also makes you wonder what the third instrument is. Do you assume because it’s jazz and because the third guy is kewl enough to wear a Fedora (some people say ‘old school’, some people wear a Fedora), let alone a green one, that he must be the saxophonist?
Well?
Did ya?
Did ya?
Were you right?
Send word.
He’s a drummer.
And he was just borrowing the fedora from the bassist.
