   Jesse Sublett: General Info
Member Since7/27/2007
Band WebsiteJesseSublett.com
Band MembersWhen playing solo, Jesse plays Harmony Sovereign acoustic six string, upright bass, six string bass, & Fender dobro. Sometimes he may be joined by special guests. 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."

Jesse,
Great to be back with a great pal.
Congrats on the Hall of Fame award.

Everyone ever in The Skunks before 1981, especially Your Bad Self, Billy and I not to mention Mr. JD Graham deserved it for all the hard times we all suffered and persevered thru...
I am so proud to have been a part of that scene!
You Rock, Mon Frere!

Yours,
Eddie

Mary Poppins and I agree--it's not sugar in that spoonful.

Now if the wind would just catch our umbrellas to give us a wee bit of a lift. There's a chimney sweep and a carousel to ride.

I've added some new scenes toward the end, so the version(s) of my script that I sent you earlier are now obsolete. Are you feeling generous enough with me that you'd tolerate my sending you yet another version?

Did I tell you that the first draft was a semi-finalist in the BlueCat Screenplay Lab competition? Since then, I've worked on getting it closer to the finalist level--not sure if it's there yet, but it's significantly improved.
