Influences
Although we are often "under" the influence, it's hard to pin down who makes our musical juices flow. POJ is an eccletic bunch of guys with roots in R&B, Funk, Rock, Alternative, Party, Metal and Contemporary Country (yeah right). We're inspired by girls who show their goods for a free t-shirt and waitresses who don't get bent about bringing a drink to the stage once in a while. But mainly, we're influenced by YOU. We still do this band thing because you all will still come hear us, that makes us all warm and fuzzy inside.
Sounds Like
The best vocalist in the area, bluesy guitar riffs, keys out yer ass and a back-beat you can't lose. POJ plays the best set of cover tunes around... from Stevie Wonder, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Pink Floyd, J. Geils and Joe Cocker to brand-new stuff from Seether, Theory of a Deadman, Weezer, Buck Cherry, Queensryche and Alice in Chains.
Loved playing at Side Pockets. Great stage, great room and a great crowd. Thanks to our new friends who showed up and supported us, always nice having some new faces in the crowd. And Thanks to Tara and her crew for coming out and keeping things exciting. And of course Lisa and Ron, we can always count on you!
We've only got a few more show the rest of the year, before we regroup for the new year.
Upcoming Dates:
Halloween Bash - Oct. 31 at Eclipse
Don't want to miss this one, costumes can be very entertaining!
New Year's Eve at the Dirty Bird - Thur. Dec. 31 and Sat. Jan. 2
The Flamingo always throws the best New Year's Eve parties, this year will be no exception.
Flamingo Lounge - Fri. Mar. 12 and Sat. Mar. 13
And as always... When you come up to us at the shows and say "play something we can dance to" you're wasting your breath! We know you can dance to anything we pull out. (he said "pull out") BUT... if we don't know it, we don't know it. SO HERE'S THE SOLUTION...
Send us song requests here on the MySpace page or drop us an email at piecesofjake@yahoo.com.
We promise we'll learn your request, if you promise to come out and hear it the next show. OK. Well we are men, and old, grumpy men at that. So we do lie and our promises aren't worth much... but we promise!
We do have some great NEW tunes in the mix now... more to come. And this year we've expanded to some great new venues!
It seems that Christmas time is here once again, and it is time again to bring in the New Year. We wish the merriest of Christmas to you and your loved ones, and we wish you happiness and prosperity in the year ahead. Yola
Thanks for the good times all weekend. It was a blast, as always. Between bad keyboard playing, on my part, hard hats, hats with lights, bong water buttons, and "love stinks" buttons.......it was memorable.
