In 1991 BEGGARS JURY was a four man metal band from Scott City Missouri. A band that encompasses all the best the metal world had to offer. Powerfully honest lyrics with a raw edge, Mystery, and talent, talent, talent. Each member is an amazingly accomplished, multi-talented artist, as evidenced by the occasional "BEGGARS JURY Switch" in which two, three, or maybe even all four musicians switch instruments and add an awe-inspiring new dimension to the entertainment. such many faceted musical skills are seldom found on the rock circuit. These guys composed the hottest hard rock act Scott City as had the privilege to host. BEGGARS JURY fans are still a large and loyal group scattered across the continental United States and even reaching overseas. Their original music from their debut album "Just Because We Can" (uncle fetus records) has been played on many area radio stations. And the band has appeared (in fact - headlined) at "The Master Of Rock" and "The Cape Girardeau Peace Fest" in 1991 and 1992. BEGGARS JURY has been featured on several radio and Television shows. Including a full interview with singer Timexx Nasty and members of St. Louis' Dunwich, on "KFVS 12's Perspective with Mike Shane".
The Scott City Missouri-based heavy metal band BEGGAR's JURY released its first album called "Just Because We Can" on 9-19-1991. It featured 11 songs from these Midwest metal kings. If machines could have SEX, this tape would mean ORGASM for your stereo.... so just imagine what it will do to you!
Songs like "Young, Wild, & Wasted", "Rock On The Rise", "Go All Night", "Cliche", " Li..l Too High", "The Ledge" "Moon Dog", "Schizophrenia", "Horse Flys In The Shed", and "Mirrors Lie" you won't be able to sit still. Although the band does not endorse any ideas or push any message onto its audience, Nasty said, members try to encourage teens to seek out solutions to their problems. A card or a sticker containing the phone number of the National Youth Crisis Hotline is included in each copy of "Just Because We Can".
The album was recorded at Riverside Recording Studio in downtown Cape Girardeau and printed in Cape by TJ Enterprises. "When we started out, people told us ..you can't make it big in Cape Girardeau,.." said Nasty. "So we wanted to prove them wrong and have the whole album be done from places in Cape." he added "We are proud to be homeboys from Cape. And someday I'll be on the flood wall next to Rush Limbaugh."
BEGGARS JURY has played with bands such as : Naughty Naughty, BRIX, The Honey Offering, Dunwich, Teaser, Black Cauldron, Off Center, The Image, Thunder Bay, DeWolf Pack, M.S.I., Steel, W.W. Wiskey, T.K. Matlock, and others. BEGGARS JURY had also been chosen to open for Black Oak Arkansas, Blue Oyster Cult, Enchanter, and others.
In 2009 Beggars Jury signed with Retrospect Records with a late 2009 reissue date for the bands cd "Just Because We Can".

Wow what a super old school sound. AND you even have Roxy Blue as one of your influences! I thought I was the only Roxy Blue fan left (shhhh don't tell) AND your in the same town as Drivin Rain you probably play with them regularly. The original incarnation of Eve's Downfall has played with Drivin Rain (I went to school in Carbondale). How random is that?
