Member Since6/23/2006
Band Websitethe-bluejays.com
Band MembersJimmy "Low Note" Lavender - Guitar, Concern

John "Lean" McLean - Acoustic Guitar, Rooms-To-Go

Jay "Super-Noggin" Murphree - Bass, Whip-Crackin'

Matt "Da Scrapper" Spaugh - Drums, Security

Sounds Like"Songwriter/bassist/lead vocalist Jay Murphree is the key figure in Atlanta, GA`s "Country Rock `n` Roll Hitmakers" The Bluejays. Murphree`s voice combines the smoothness and charm of Chris Isaak with the honky-tonk flair of Buck Owens. The tunes fit somewhere in that bit of comparative signposting as well as the band offer up a healthy 15-track (presumably culled from a hundred) set of smooth rockin` twang. Hints of rockabilly, desert rock `n` roll and Tex-Mex emerge from these fine tunes, which, in fairness, include a few written and performed by the other talented members of the quartet. Their understated retro quality is rounded out with classic country songwriting, ensuring a good time - and a few heartbroken ones too - from start to finish." -- Robinson, Miles Of Music

Great set from the boys at the Drive Invasion. Too bad it had to be the farewell show! If anybody wants a keepsake of that last show, a soundboard recording is available for bit torrent download at http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=509595. Got to http://wiki.etree.org/index.php?page=BitTorrent for info on how to set up a bit torrent client. If you are bandwidth challenged or otherwise a techno-retard, I will burn a copy to CD for you if you send me a blank disc and a return envelope with postage. See http://www.mcnichol.com/bnp/ for basic blanks & postage guidelines. Send me a message through myspace to get my address. Thanks to the Bluejays for all the great tunes! -jeff

HELLO MY NEW SPECIAL BLUEJAY FRIENDS, Thank you for the friend request. I don't have any clue who in the hell you are, but I am used to the many weirdos, perverts, and sexual deviants that seem to be magnetically attracted to my super duper studliness. I just hope that my total and complete awesomeness does not overly detract from the meager okayness that your other friends demonstrate. I figured I should start our friendship off with this deeply felt, personal message (which is much more deeply felt and personal that the exact same identical message I cut and pasted and sent to my many other new MySpace friends), I wanted to send YOU this deeply felt, personal note to remind you of how lucky you are to have someone as incredibly awesome and wonderful as me as your MySpace Friend!

Hey The Bluejays,

This dog house here is mighty small
But it's sure better than no house at all
So ease it on over
Drag it on over
Move over cold dog cause a hot dog's moving in
