review of our show with Grand Ole Party

This was a rad show. Trevor rolled back into from his rafting trip right on time for this show at the crepe place. Mason's parents and Mason, Hannah Homer, my Dad, and I all ate together before the show took place. It was nice, because Mason and I got complimentary meals.

Here was our set list:

Wild Orphan
White Wolf Eyes
Homesick
Nonsense
Metropolis
Get Your Guns Out
Swagger

This was a fun fun show.
The crowd was quiet, but that is usually how it is when you play first i guess.
When swagger was over i had a nice talk with Kristin the drummer of Grand Ole Party. She is a very nice lady.
After we played, then it was Bastidas.
They were totally loud and intense.
Very different then The Vox Jaguars and Grand ole Party.
Grand Ole Party were so amazing.
Since nearly a year ago when Electric leaves played with them, they had improved a lot. It must've been the fact that they played Coachella and Bonnaroo.
We'll be there sooner or later.
Here are some pictures our friend Brian Harker took that night at the show!

San Francisco Show

On friday we had the pleasure of driving up to San Francisco to play our very first show up there. Jenny our amazing friend drove Sam, John, Mason, and I up there at about 4 O'Clock and we got there pretty fast. As soon as we got there we went to a great taqueria in the mission of sf called Taqueria Cancun. So good.
Besides that we showed up at the venue and were suprised that they didn't give us any shit for being under 21. Arielle showed up and we watched some shitty band open that sounded like they were trying to be the faint while having sex with interpol and arguing over what to wear with the goonies. It was bad. They ended a really long set, and then we rocked it hard. Art was subbing in for Trevor, because trev was on a river rafting trip and chilling hard. We still managed to pull off an alright set filled with chords coming unplugged and picks being dropped.
The venue was the retox lounge and had a nice crowd for our set.
Probablly will play there very soon.

Now back in Santa Cruz for the weekend we have a show with a band I really love.
GRAND OLE PARTY are a radical power soul rock band from San Diego.
Check them out:

recording

I have finally done it.
I downloaded Audacity which is a free simple recording program.
Lately i have begun recording music on my computer.
It is simple i know but well worth it. In my house my brother's room was cleared out and now it is FILLED with musical equipment to the brim.
The learning process for a recording program is very slow, but i have completed two songs for the libra (my solo project).
The two songs are called

1. Please Don't Make Me Cry
2. Time Travel

As for the vox jaguars we have a very excited show coming up.
We have a gig in San Francisco which Trevor unfortunately won't be able to play drums at but a great friend Art will be filling in for us on the skins.
The show starts at 9pm and we play third.
Everyone in San Francisco reading this, we hope you attend!


We also tied for the win as the Deli band of the month with Evacuee.

new song lyrics

So i started a new moleskine as of Monday and i have been writing like mad.
Yesterday i started two new/different song ideas.
Hopefully when i bring them to the next band practice it'll all work out nicely as new material for The Vox Jaguars.

(Page 12-13)

savage man he is walking hard
speak no evil (they say), but he speaks it all
diabolical why bother to call it danger
he's a stranger to his own blood, to his own blood brother

payed no mind to anybody else's idiosyncrasies
takes his poor troubles to the ocean and then to the sea
wouldn't wash away no it wouldn't wash off the shame
please take these millions of sings and give em' away.

(Page 11)
Lush santuary
i see her
freedom
forever

with darker green grass
for miles
oh oh

with dried flowers a plenty
well why wouldn't we be here
take me to the summer house
we'll reside here

tranquility is golden young transient.

That song is more of a poem, but i think i will play it at The Libra's next show.
Also here is a new video of us.
Kinda rough and the guitar tone i had is kinda thin and quiet but a nice video.
Check it!
