Random jam sessions is the times of all smiles, laughs, friendship, suds, and the occasional in sync moment that gives a glimpse, a tiny glimpse, but yet a glimpse into the rockstar moment.
As an average guitarist, a below average drummer, and a one solo harmonica player I by no means will be echoing out on K-Rock. My music career highlights consists of younger days strumming on the sea wall of Ocean City, MD, performing at the Parlor Lounge, getting booed off stage after playing “Blowjobs on the Beach” written by band member JD Koonz, and becoming a member of LA based band “Cuilingus Dan & The Replaceable Backups”.
The electric chill rush however experienced from these times I would combat with these Rock Cats any time. We’ve all hopefully have been apart of a "sesh" so here is my inside look at “getting the band back together” and ignore "starting..." it sounds more homegrown.
Why Jug Band, here’s why: homemade instruments to accompany traditional ones so no bongos no problem grab two spoons, hide that bad player on a soup pot, little to zero cost, and it just sounds hipper/tougher to be in one. Picking up a vintage rusted washboard or making an upright broomstick bath tub base is entertaining by itself not to mention great conversation pieces for the pad. You’re done with you drunken college days of “Wonderland” and “Flake” so let’s step up the game and here’s how.
