End of an Era

Due to changes in Corporate direction, Cheeseburger in Paradise will no longer have Live bands. Instead "acoustic solo acts".  Yeah I know it sucks!  The good news is we have one more weekend there come see us, Nick and his great staff and send live bands out with a bang 04/18 and 04/19. 

Holy Crap

At the last gig, it has been confirmed by TWO sources that Pete actually turned the volume on one of his pedals DOWN!   It's possible that it was an accident as this has never been witnessed before.

March 08

Joe and the Test Pilots have decided to take most of March off from gigging and hole up and work out some new orginal material.  Each of us writes but we've never sat down and written together.   Come out and see us at the end of the month and we'll show you what we've done.

If you missed us at Bells on Saturday (July 14) you missed out. It was big fun. My favorite quote from the day after was "I didn't know you could get away with only playing two sets at Bell's.. at least that's all I remember". I don't have to name the guilty party.. (do I Rob?)

I wanna give out a big shout to all the new faces and new friends. Happy birthday Amy! Oh and next time remember to hold the cowbell by the handle! There's lots of photos from the night in the photo gallery. Go check them out.

We return to Harvey's in Kalamazoo next week (Friday July 20). It's a great intimate venue to see what Joe Wang is all about. So come on out, stop by and say hello and let us know what you think.

Fight? What fight?

Dang it, the curse of Joe Wang raises it's ugly head once again. If I had known that the supposed fight of the century was taking place last Saturday I suppose I would have just stayed home.

Well, the weekend at 44th Street Bistro was not a total loss however. (A big shout out to Wendy for showing up not once, but twice!). We had some technical issues with the new in-ear monitors that made for some interesting moments on stage so that was exciting. The rule did hold true that every show we play we encounter one single avid Big Head Todd fan. I know you are all out there!.. Now you just need to get together on one place.

A big thanks to Evil Steve for the assistance with the PA and to Kyle, aka: "Spider Fingers" Beck for his work behind the board. Kyle, we are all still waiting for your band to get off their collective butts and get some material together to do a show of your own.

We are off this coming weekend and then back at CiP May 18-19. Check the schedule for maps and starting times.

Peace.

I got your website ...

Man oh man.. After much wailing and gnashing of teeth I think we finally have a website that might be of some use. Actually I doubt that very many of you will actually read this post, but if you do bravo! (and thanks). The band has received a lot of grief over the past two years regarding our website (or lack thereof). If you could have been a fly on the wall during one of our many conversations on just what the hell we were going to actually do about that little problem, I guarantee that you would have been quite entertained. We'll be maintaining both this and our good 'ol sturdy standby at MySpace. If you have not had a chance to check it out and you have a myspace account, drop by and add yourself to our growing list of friends. In the near future I'll probably embed the myspace site into this one so you can have it all at one place.

While you are here please don't forget to visit the music page and listen to some of our latest demos. These are rough one take, live, preproduction demos so don't be too critical eh? We hope to have a real, tangible CD done and for sale sometime soon (don't pin me to a date tho!).

Something else that is new is the addition of a new email list. If you want to keep up to date with waht is happening just scroll to the bottom of the page and join our list server. Oh, and don't worry, you won't get spammed.

Peace.

~Joe
