InfluencesFrank Zappa, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Phish, Talking Heads, Black Sabbath, Metallica... doesn't make sense, does it?
Sounds Like"The Jazz Bastards can play jangly Americana like the Southern boys, and if you caught them at the right moment they'd transport you right to Arkansas... where they'd introduce you to the ghost of Frank Zappa and walk you to the dark side of the moon."

"Ragged around the edges, melodic in its center. It's part Zappa, part Grateful Dead, and part Pink Floyd, with each song bringing adventure, promise, and brazen instrumental explorations."

   About Jazz Bastards
The goal is to explore and enjoy. The different writing styles of Jazz Bastards members gives their catalogue a sometimes eclectic feel -- often creating outlets for freestyle, "cliffwalk" improvisational jams, both instrumental and vocal. If you're having half as much fun as the band members on stage, then it's a night well spent. With some of their own favorite songs littered throughout each set, Jeff, Josh, Rob and John hope to make each show an adventure...and if you listen with the right kind of ears, anything is possible.

Nominated six years in a row (2001-2006) for Rhode Island's Best Local Jam Band, once for Best Album (2004) by the FNX/Providence Phoenix readers poll, Breakthrough Act by Motif Magazine (2006), and a 2006 Relix Jamoff Winner, Jazz Bastards formed in late 1999 and have performed at various venues up and down the east coast. Members of Jazz Bastards have been involved with local music for over 15 years.

Masters in Lunacy



GRAVESIDESERVICE is proud to announce the official release of our first full
length album. The material on this release was written between the years of 2003
- 2006. It contains 7 solid piano interludes and 7 solid songs with and extra
special bonus 15th track which was written on spot and recorded live in Pocasset
cemetery over the course of two full weekends. It is a 23 minute FUNERAL MASS.
It is the closest anyone has ever made it to an actual real cemetery funeral
last rites recording with no guitars, just piano one ceremonial drum, last rites
sermon and of course the birds wind and rain that fell on those days. It is the
first of its kind and if its not then prove to us who did it first and we will
not make that claim anymore...



For ten dollars you will receive the album which was officially pressed (no cd-r
) disc, but real quality official cds with full color booklet and a limited to
300 11 x 17 wide-angle poster which contains a black and white photo of the
actually spot and burial ground on which Liturgy the bonus track was recorded.
You ten dollar donation will not go into anyone’s pockets, but rather right into
the collections office at the church of the immaculate deception. The church
