CONGRATS for having a drummer named in the Reno News and Review's Top 100 influential local musicians!



Matt Mayhall: He has played in some of the best rock 'n' roll bands in town (Whiskey, Crushstory, Keyser Soze, Big in Japan) and is also a well respected jazz drummer. Zac Damon says, "He is probably the best drummer to ever come out of Reno.

I know youre all wondering why the band broke up...Being the former bass player of BIJ I can tell you I have inside info..Corky being the creative force behind all of BIJ's songs is in the middle of a lawsuit against Zac over the material. However, both parties have since agreed that Zac would pay back all publishing rights to Corky in the form of a dimebag and a porno mag...(actually the porno mag is for me 'cause I wrote a background harmony from the first record..the "Ahhhh" on "destroy the new rock" song..) Anyway that's about it...see ya soon, Fuckin' Joey T.

This is what music is all about! As Guns 'n Roses guitar player Slash famously quipped: "Whenever society gets too stifling and the rules get too complex, there's some sort of musical explosion."

Here's a reason you MUST be in Reno Saturday, March 29th.

WARNING THIS VIDEO MAY BE TOO INTENSE FOR SOME VIEWERS...

February 29 is a date that occurs once every four years, in years evenly divisible by 4, such as 1988, 1996, 2008 or 2016 for the Gregorian calendar, which is most widely used in the world today.
Although the modern calendar counts a year as 365 days, a complete revolution around the sun takes approximately 365 days and 6 hours. Every four years, an extra twenty-four hours have accumulated, so one extra day is added to that calendar to keep the count coordinated with the sun's apparent position.
