Jazz Guys Farewell Show!

Will Burlington's music scene be the same without BMJ's favorite musical agent provocateurs, one can allow thoughts to get expansive in wonder. What is hard and fast fact however, is these guys know how to throw quite the farewell concert. If you weren't amongst the fire code exceeding throng that turned out despite the single digit temperatures, consider yourself lucky, for our professional level videographer captured the boozy beerlight proceedings, as Herb, Max, and Frank -and a Martin shaped hole were Martin should have been- displayed their chops, their beleaguering wit, and their wide legged rock stances one final time. Opening acts Missy Bly, Swale, and James Kolchaka Superstar laid the laurels on thick in toasting the Jazz Guys, the venues they were banned from, the hearts they broke, and the sweaty masses they rocked.






Fierce New Content!

At this point you've probably assumed the righteous warfare BMJ wages against overpriced shows, trustafarian bullshit, and the inane booking practices of certain venues has -after 69 rock hard posts- subsided. But, no our armies are amassing on the border! You've probably taken to going straight to Angioplasty's site. And who could blame you, Nick does such an incredible job. But there is something exciting in on the horizon! Watch this space.

Full communique from the secret Tick Tick Fortress of Solitude:
Dear Friends,

Coming out of retirement to briefly let you know about a great show
this MONDAY, August 24th, at the 5th Element.

BLOOD WARRIOR (featuring members of O'DEATH and Musee Mecanique)

sounds like a cross between Viking Moses, Beirut, Castanets, and
O'Death!

BRETT HUGHES

SHAWN GRADY

8pm until whenever, and we will expect some sort of donation from you
at the door.

It's going to be a great show! Visit inslumberland.com for more info.

The 5th Element is at the bottom of Battery St -- just keep going!

Here's a little blurb from Greg Jamie, lead singer of O'Death, about
Blood Warrior:

The idea was to get onto tape the pastoral, rambling, creaky weird
sounds

we all had in our heads. I feel like this was the product of built up

ideas from years of listening to music and years of throwing out song

ideas because they seem too quiet or simple. this was a way of
focusing

on those ideas and giving them the production and treatment they

deserved. Joey had a Kris Kristofferson song he played me that we
were

like.. "Yeah!". I also got really into Townes Van Zandt last year.

XO,

Tick & Angioplasty

Churchill + Autotune = <3



We here at BMJ have a serious Tick Tick appreciation in the works. Until then, enjoy Wiston Churchill's 1941 declaration of war remade via autotune.
