How's everyone doing?! It's been a little while - but sometimes a break every now and then is a good thing, right? Anyway, just wanna remind you about our show next Saturday at Ivanhoe. Fun place, good drinks, cool people, and some rock 'n roll. And if you get there early, they have some great food as well...plus, you will already have a seat for the night! Hope to see y'all there.
Have a great Memorial Day and weekend, and be safe.
About last week's trainwreck - May 8, 2008
Yeah...um....sorry 'bout that. I guess when there's a round a shots after every song, they're gonna catch up to you. We promise the next show will be a more focused set of music and rockin' (and just a wee bit less drinkin'). We're still working on some more new originals, and hopefully we'll continue to add one or two with each gig.
Pictures from the "Putting the Screws 2 MS" benefit are now up. Thanks to the folks that sent in them in, and also big thanks to all involved in putting the whole thing together.
That's it for now. Take care, and enjoy life a little -

Manana - May 2, 2008
Okay, our computers don't give us the option to put the little squiggly line over that first "n" in Manana (which means "tomorrow", for those who didn't take Spanish in school, or have watched Dora). Speaking of "Manana" - it's one of many great new songs by our heroes Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers. Pick up their new disc "Turbo Ocho" if you get a chance...good stuff. Also speaking of Manana - that's right, tomorrow at Coin's is gonna kick ass. Yeah, I said it. We've got some new originals to play, some old school originals, and many Mojo-fied covers that go great with celebrating Cinco de Mayo (which is the Freak's birthday as well).
Oops, and did I forget to mention that the Miller Chill Girls will be on hand?! Yup - so you don't even have to look at our sweaty mugs all night.
Cervezas.
Musica.
Bueno!!
Donde este el bano, senor?
Mojo de Mayo...or is it Cinco de Mojo - May 1, 2008
Yeah my espanol is not so hot. But add Tequila and I'm LOCO.
This Saturday we'll be at Coin's in Kenosha. We are officially making the call, it will be Cinco De Mayo 'observed'! The 3rd of May is close enough.
Only two shows in May. This one and May 31st at Ivanhoe in Racine. So don't miss out!
We will have sombreros, sing about Mexico, and quote Dora The Explorer often. It's also the FREAK's birthday observed.
Big Party! Tell all your friends.
Fiesta Grande!! Tell all your amigo's.
Hope to see ya at 10pm on Saturday.
Peace -
Double the fun! - April 18, 2008
We're playing Saturday night and then doing it all again a few hours later, on Sunday afternoon!! If you thought the Saturday Night Train Wreck was bad...wait until you see the Sunday Hangover Train Wreck! If we see ya' at both shows, we'll buy ya' a shot...or a drink...or some chips (we're easy).
4/19 - Drifter's (Paddock Lake, WI) - 10pm
4/20 - Coin's (Kenosha, WI) - 1pm
The Sunday show is for an annual MS Benefit. Not only is it very well put together, it is also a great time for a really good cause. Plus, there are tons of prizes, raffles, and lots of food.
Hope to see ya' soon.

Al got his hands on it and pimped it up "propper"! Fo' shizzle!! Besides the sweet background, he added a bunch of pictures and a slideshow too. And if you're not one of our "friends" yet, what are ya' waiting for?!
We've been working on some new original songs, and we're really excited about them. A couple of them may even be tried out at Drifter's on April 19th...
Tonight - April 4, 2008
Just a quick reminder that we start at 9pm tonight at South of Disorder (Hemingway's Port of Call in Lake Geneva). First set will be some fun acoustic stuff, so try to make it out early! Hope to see ya' in a few hours...
Coming up - April 2, 2008
Hey all!
A rare Friday night show this weekend! We play at South of Disorder in Lake Geneva this Friday night. Cool place with a nice stage and sound system, and just oozing that Island - Buffet feel. That's cool, cuz that kinda goes hand in hand with drinking!!
Should be a good time. I hear the food is killer as well.Stop out, we could use some familiar faces in the crowd!
Here's the address:
N3270 County Road H
Lake Geneva WI 53147
Thanks to all of you who came out to coins on the 15th! Wow, what a blast. Check out the photo page to see if you're in there.
Lots of cool shows coming up, so please check back here for updates. If you don't have our new "LIVE" cd.... get on it!! Also, we are nearing 900 myspace friends, I think we should run some kind of "prize" for the 1000th myspace mojo friend. Send me your suggestions..... this ought to be good....
Hey, it's baseball season! Always brings a smile to my face, til about mid MAY!!
Support local live music. We don't know how to do much else, so this is all we got!!
Peace.

J to the C - March 26, 2008
More pics from Coin's are now up. We'd really like to thank Dommer's cousin Patti for taking them and getting them to us. You rock!
Cubby Bear last weekend. Oh, where to start. Well, we've been doing this band thing for many many years, and have NEVER even come close to encountering a person like that of a man known simply as "Jack and Coke". He was rip-roaring drunk, and ready to dance or heckle us like no other human could even imagine. When we started one of our original songs, he yelled "NOOOO! ONLY COVERS! ONLY SONGS I KNOW!" To make matters worse, many of the covers we did do, he didn't recognize...even a Sublime medley. He told us we sucked. He told us nobody was dancing. This was, for the most part, true - as whenever any ladies would come out to dance, J&C would obviously join them, and they would make a quick exit. But every once in awhile we'd play a song he liked, and then we were the greatest band ever. This happened all night long, by the way. Y'see, Jack and Coke - and it's DOUBLE jack & cokes that he drinks...of course! - is a very regular customer at Cubby Bear. So, they didn't really want to kick out a large source of their income, and we understand that. So, knowing that, we ended up bantering a little bit back and forth with him from the stage...and that made it all, in some strange way, a bit more enjoyable. Good times. Yup, hopefully we'll see him at the next Cubby Bear show. But next time, his name will be up on the marquee as the headliner!
More pics! - March 21, 2008
We just received a bunch of new pictures from Coin's, so we'll be adding them very soon...
Hopefully we'll see you tomorrow night at Cubby Bear. This is truly one of the best places to see live music, as well as a very cool place to hang out...or have some great pub grub!
As promised - March 18, 2008
The pictures our good buddy M-Dizzle took are posted here. It was really cool having Chad there to lend his guitar playing on some tunes, and more importantly, he's one heck of a cool dude to have around. (Thanks for making the trip down from Madison, buddy). And once again, thank you so much to everyone that took the time to hang with us. We realize you have a ton of other options, and we appreciate you supporting us, and live music in general.
This Saturday we'll be back at the Cubby Bear in Lincolnshire. Awesome stage with an incredible sound and lighting system. Add great food and drinks and you've got a nice night planned for you....although the morning is another story...
Pics from Coin's - - March 17, 2008
- should be up tuesday night. Our necks are still sore from rockin' just a little too hard, and our livers are still hurtin' from all those shots that came up...but we still thank you for them! It was a great turnout, and it was great to see so many friends that night. Sincere thanks to all that stopped by.
Get on board! - March 14, 2008
The "Saturday night train wreck" rolls into Coin's in Kenosha tomorrow night. It's Grant's birthday, so it's gonna be EXTRA crazy!! Some new originals (as well as some rarely played stuff) and a bunch of new covers (that RAWK, by the way) as well.
And if you haven't picked up our new "Live" cd, now's your chance. They're only 5 bucks (for 19 tunes!) - or pick up a Mojo "Train Wreck" t-shirt and get a FREE cd of your choice. As you can guess, we're not in this for the money...
Hope to see ya' there.
Peace. We love ya' -
