cleanse my mind

I know it has been quite a while since i have made a new blog post and I apologize for that. Things have been really good with The Vox Jaguars. We played a jam packed show at pergolesi last saturday and we were very happy with the turnout. It was our first show with Noah on guitar and we're looking forward to the future of the band having two guitars. Right now we are currently working on two new songs. We've written one new one already and i think we are calling it "Rumble". It is a psychedelic 60s rock 6/8 #1 jam that is infectiously fun to dance to. We will be playing it at our next show at The Crepe Place with Man/Miracle and The Botticellis on september 26th 8pm $8. Man/Miracle is like one of our best friend bands, they totally rock.

There was also an article about us in the Metro Santa Cruz this week.

"The sound they've created is well beyond their years. Topf sings in a swanky, almost Jagger-esque croon, and, with crisp and quick guitars and loud and minimal drums, the music takes full advantage of his unique vocals. Crepe Place music booker and all-around badass Adam Bergeron sounded off about the Jaguars and their upcoming show, calling them "America's next indie sensation." "I love these kids. I mean, Jordy will call me and say, 'I'm trying to get some extra bands to play with us and I called Death Cab For Cutie but they haven't got back to me yet,'" Bergeron laughed. "Still, I think it's universally agreed that he's the next big indie rock kid."


A couple days ago we also found out that we will be playing bottom of the hill in San Francisco on October 1st with The Felix dukes. We also got a show in Monterey with The Mystery Lights at the lounge underground. A lot of things are a float.
Adam Levin our manager has a meeting with Tony at ABC Studios on Tuesday.
Which is very exciting I am hoping that we landed the webisode series with them.

Here is a recent mix i made.
Check out the bands if you've never heard them.
I think I'm going to start doing a mix thing for this blog.
