   About Pennyjar
5 Years into this shit and we still have 3 of the 4 original members. Not to bad for a band playing the least beloved of all musical styles, "Alt.Country". Whatever that means now.

In 2003 we released our first album "Hell or Highwater", it has since sold out of its enitre two print runs (yep kiddies we sold that bastard out twice). For about the last year or two we have been working on a follow up. We have about 20 new songs in the can for a record that we really want to put out this year. But we say that every year. This might be the year though, just so we can thank Alice in the liner notes.

We just lost our dear drummer Patrick McGraw to the wild plains of Arizona and the comfort of a woman. We wish him well and are proud to announce that the throne will be taken up by Mr. Chad Nichol of Swilltones fame.

We still haven't played a show that followed the planned set list the entire evening. We are prone to playing songs we don't really know in the middle of our set just because it seems like a good idea. Sometimes we get too drunk to play well and usually those are our best shows.


See ya Soon

You guys are the worst band I have ever heard. I'm surprised anybody goes to your shows. How do you guys get shows, anyway, playing crap like this?
