Sounds Like
"Like a Bertolt Brecht house band at the end of the world, these Murfreesboro minstrels are far more cabaret than rock ‘n’ roll - right down to the Vaudevillian costumes and avant-garde stage act. There are rock precedents here, mostly in the Waits-like Carney music, early Camper Van Beethoven gypsy polkas, Devotchka fandangos, and Dresden Dolls burlesque. But with all those violin, viola, Wurlitzer, accordion, banjo, trumpet, cornet, clarinet and glockenspiel accents, you could just as easily be transported to Weimar Germany in the 20s, liebchen" - Creative Loafing

"Equal parts circus side show and Captain Beefheart, Juan Prophet Organization mine a vein of frenzied art-rock that challenges listeners without sounding pretentious. Expect nerdy, whimsical lyrics and loads of mid-song tempo changes." The Nashville Scene

"Juan Prophet Organization is often described as a Vaudevillian art-rock band, due to the diversity of musical influences they incorporate into their own music---influences ranging from Phillip Glass and the Rachels to Mother Goose and Danny Elfman. JPO's penchant for perfoming in costume also might have something to do with it." Natalie Kilgore, The Rage.

"The band's members act as tour guides in a wild ride through countless musical genres with grace and style...without losing the audience's interest." Christopher Magan, Sidelines.

"Murfreesboro's bizarro-pop stalwarts Juan Prophet Organization play-act morbid lullabies with stunning Tom Waits abstraction, combing the hyperbolic minefields of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with an avant-garde relish. It's a kaleidoscopic grab bag of Dixieland jazz, chamber pop, vaudeville and an anything goes dictum pureed to perfection."
Joey Hood, Nashville Scene.

************************************************************ * Jade Gate Open House and Party * Saturday July 25th, 2009 in Portland Oregon ************************************************************ My friend and colleague Mark Yu has just moved from Austin Texas to Portland, Oregon and has relocated The Jade Gate Studio.
There's an open house and party on July 25th, filled with "refreshments, minglings and demos" and "vigorous kinkbaku, rope suspension, a hojojutsu demo, twisted acupuncture, bamboo caning and other fun surprises".
You may have noticed that this is the same day as the Kinky Carnival - I'm going to miss Mark's open house. Nuts!
If you're in Portland, be sure to go, and be sure to tell Mark I said "hello".
