   Jesse Sublett: General Info
Member Since7/27/2007
Band WebsiteJesseSublett.com
Band MembersWhen playing solo, Jesse plays usually plays acoustic six string guitar and upright bass. Recently, he's been performing with Jon Dee Graham in a two or three man format, with the two of them drawing from their vast repertoire, concentrating on the darker side. In fact, the act is often billed as JESSE & JON DEE'S MURDER BLUES SHOW. In THE SKUNKS, his bandmates are Jon Dee Graham (guitar) and Billy Blackmon (drums).
InfluencesJesse's writing has been influenced by the hardboiled / noir masters, such as Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and David Goodis, to name a few. He's recently been studying Greek tragedies by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. He's crazy about the films Out of the Past, One-Eyed Jacks, Glass Key and Harvey. His songwriting is heavily influenced by the same sources, and also Bryan Ferry, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon and of course, the Rolling Stones.
Sounds LikeJesse's documentaries have won awards at the Atlanta and New York film festivals. He loves it when people say he reminds them of Bryan Ferry, but they're usually talking about his hair, not his singing. His bass playing has summoned comparisons to the late John Entwhistle, but he insists that is an exaggeration.

   About Jesse Sublett
As a WRITER, Jesse Sublett is the author of three mystery novels -- Rock Critic Murders, Tough Baby and Boiled in Concrete -- and a memoir -- Never the Same Again: A Rock 'N Roll Gothic. He also writes frequently for The History Channel, and you may have seen his work in the New York Times, Texas Monthly, the Austin Chronicle and elsewhere. As a MUSICIAN, Jesse Sublett is best known as the leader of THE SKUNKS, often referred to as THE band that put Austin on the rock n roll map. Jesse continues to play in Austin with THE SKUNKS and as a solo performer. JAMES ELLROY, author of LA Confidential and The Black Dahlia, says this about Jesse's last book: "Never the Same Again is a harrowing, wrenching, spell-binding work of great candor and soul. Read it, think with it, dig it." THE AUSTIN CHRONICLE said this about Jesse's band, THE SKUNKS: "Whatever the case may be, chances are if you like loud music and live in Austin, you've been influenced, at least in some small way, by the Skunks."

Would love to see ya - You're invited! Channel One is at: Flamingo Cantina on 6th St. Saturday, August 1st Austin, Texas 18+! 9 pm w/ Spies Like Us and Six Pack Deep! We're giving out our new record "Pose & Posture" to everyone at the show! Doors at 9pm! For some reviews of our new album: http://amusicfan.blogspot.com "These guys have the chops to hang with the heavy hitters in US ska scene but also have a fresh and accessible enough sound to cross over to new listeners..." or here: www.phillyska.com (scroll down) "It is something a little different, yet also familiar. In short time the album rose to become one of my favorite releases so far this year with a secure position on my playlist..." or here: http://www.musicaloccupation.com/ "If there’s one album that stands out as different this year, it’s Channel One’s Pose & Posture..." thanks!

Just a friendly reminder that we'll be playing Momo's this Saturday night! This isn't a show you want to miss. Our friends Darcy from Denton will be opening the night at 8pm... they're pretty amazing live, so you won't want to miss them. We're next at 9, with Amy Atchley, Joy Davis and Patrice Pike filling out the evening. The club is making an exception this week for those of you under the age of 18: you can get in to the show until 845.
Anyone who gets there before can stay all night, but no one under 18 will be admitted agter 845, so get there early! Hope to see each and every one of you there!
