Perform a Google search for "the Greatest Band in the History of Recorded Music" and you will get only one result: Jim's Big Ego.
Hailing from the small New England town of Boston, Jim's Big Ego has carved a unique place in the the music world by rocking harder, fresher, louder, sweeter and better than everyone else.
Jim's Big Ego's secret to awesomeness is singer, songwriter, super genius, Jim Infantino. Armed with the innate ability to create songs that are more brilliant than all others in history, Infantino gives the band the gift of greatness.
Jim's Big Ego compares itself to such major players as The Great Wall of China, The Grand Canyon, Antarctica, and other things you can see from space. However, when pressed to label their music, they name their genre of music "Unpop for the Unpopulous".
While the debate still rages over whether the band's formation was a matter of divine providence or historical inevitability, one fact remains clear: if the world ended today, Jim's Big Ego would die happy knowing that they were more talented than Oasis, more popular than Terrence Trent D'Arby and richer than MC Hammer.
Thanks for playing such a great show last night. It was wonderful and humbling to talk with Matthew, Kirk and others from Common Art after it...What a great cause. Keep up the good work!
Dan came with a friend to Planet Fitness, which has their own personalized radio station, yesterday. He almost fell of a machine when "Concrete" came on! :)
What the TRAM said....I ditto that! Big Salads, Real Cookies, the right Yerba and a little Chai/Mocha makes for a splendiferous evening! Thanks again...hope to serve you again soon!
Thanks for a great time at the Tramontane! We had a blast and it was fan-frickin-tastic to finally have you in Utica! Hope all was pleasant and groovy for you and we are hoping for a return visit in the near future! The Napkin-Poetry session was a veritable hoot, as was the impromptu cinnamon-lozenge ballad. Other highlights too numerous to mention. Thanks again for all the music, it keeps us being the cafe we want to be.
You have exactly 25,000 profile views right now; how cool! I echo Tom that Friday's show was great. And I love how Jesse always has the best lines: "Monu-mints. Oblong for her pleasure. "
