   About deconstructing jim

Yeah. We were blinded by the light.

Deconstructing Jim is Brennen Chouinard (drums), Jeff Julian (voc/guitar), and Matt Yeager (voc/bass) all of whom hail from southwestern Chicagoland. The three-piece band tours as often as their day jobs allow them—more than 150 shows in the past four years. That’s where they’ve honed their live shows, which are punctuated by a thunderous rhythm section, dual lead vocal harmonies, and intricately written songs.

The band has many influences—Ron Sexsmith, The Beatles, Houston, Jawbox, Queens of the Stone Age, and Muse—just to name a few. But what drives Deconstructing Jim is their love of cold beer, new towns, and dirty rock venues.

Deconstructing Jim has begun work on the follow-up to 2007's “A Future Told by Swords” EP. The band will once again work with Jeff Halland (ex-Houston) in his new St. Paul, MN, studio. The project, which is tentatively titled "Self Indulgent Bastards," is slated to be released in May 2009 as a 10-song album.

So sorry to hear about the end. We sure had a good time jamming out with you. And wrecking your van. Sorry about that, too. Good times they were, though.
See you on the other side!

Fuck! NO! NOOO! Scarlet was my summer theme song! And also the unlicensed (but properly credited) "end credits" song for my last you tube video... this is a sad day gentlemen. I tip my Steinlager hat in your directions.
