HOWDY, HELLO AND WHAT NOT

AFTER A YEAR OF CRAZY UPS AND DOWNS... WE HAVE FINALLY PUT OUT OUR NEW ALBUM,"TO HELL AND BACK." THE CD RELEASE AT BENDERS TAVERN WAS AWESOME. HERE'S A BIG THANKS TO STEPHEN AND TYSON FOR HAVING THE SHOW THERE! ALSO, HUGE THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT AND SUPPORTED US. IT FELT GREAT TO BE BACK ON STAGE AFTER OUR HIATUS.

ALRIGHT, WELL I GUESS I'LL FILL YOU IN ON WHAT''S GOING ON IN THE WACKY WORLD OF JETT BLACK...FIRST OFF, FIST MUSIC (OUR LABEL) HAS WORKED DISTRIBUTION MAGIC, AND MADE OUR ALBUM AVAILABLE THROUGH SEVERAL ON-LINE SOURCES. THEY INCLUDE AMAZON.COM, SAMGOODY.COM, BESTBUY.COM, AND VARIOUS OTHERS. YOU CAN ALSO DOWNLOAD SONGS FROM ITUNES AND NAPSTER. IF MAKING PURCHASES ON-LINE IS NOT YOUR THING, AND YOU'RE IN DENVER, YOU CAN PICK UP A COPY AT INDEPENDENT RECORDS, TWIST AND SHOUT, WAX TRAX, AND EVEN THE VIRGIN MEGASTORE. IF YOU'RE NOT IN DENVER, PLEASE BUG THE SHIT OUT OF YOUR LOCAL RECORD STORE, AND ASK THEM TO STOCK IT!

NEXT... WE HAVE SHOT COUNTLESS HOURS OF FOOTAGE FROM THE ROAD, STUDIO, BUS, VAN, AND ANYWHERE ELSE THAT WE WERE ALLOWED TO BRING A CAMERA. WE ARE GOING TO BE MAKING OUR FIRST VIDEO IN SEPTEMBER. IT WILL BE FOR THE TITLE TRACK OF THE ALBUM. THANKS ARE IN ORDER TO AARON SAYE, AND CAPTAIN DAVE FOR MANNING THE CAMERAS. AS SOON AS WE'RE DONE WITH THE EDITING, ETC... WE'LL HAVE THE VIDEO AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD ON OUR MULTIMEDIA PAGE.

AND NEXT... WE ARE CURRENTLY BOOKING A TOUR FOR NOVEMBER. THIS ONE WILL TAKE US THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SOUTHWEST, INCLUDING SO CAL, VEGAS, ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO, TEXAS, OKLAHOMA, KANSAS, MISSOURI, NEBRASKA, AND FINALLY BACK TO DENVER FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

WHAT MORE COULD BE GOING ON, YOU ASK? WELL, I'LL TELL YOU. WE WENT IN TO THE STUDIO TO RECORD A COVER OF COURTNEY JAYE'S SONG, "MENTAL." COURTNEY IS AN AWESOME SINGER, SONGWRITER THAT IS AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE, AND AFTER HEARING THIS SONG, WE TALKED ABOUT ME AND THE BOYS DOING A ROCK VERSION. WELL, IT'S DONE, EXCEPT FOR COURTNEY DOING A CAMEO WHEN WE MEET UP IN L.A. NEXT MONTH. WE'LL PUT THAT UP ON THE SITE AS SOON AS IT'S FINISHED. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN HEARING HER VERSION IN THE MEANTIME, YOU CAN GO TO WWW.COURTNEYJAYE.COM.

LASTLY, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK DAVE HERRERA OF THE WESTWORD FOR PICKING OUR CD RELEASE SHOW AS THE "CRITICS PICK" (SEE PRESS PAGE) AND JON WILSON FOR A GREAT ARTICLE IN THE DENVER DAILY NEWS.

WELL, I'M GOING TO SIGN OFF FOR NOW, BUT I PROMISE TO KEEP YOU UPDATED AS SOON AS THINGS HAPPEN HERE AT CAMP JETT. UNTIL THEN, BE GOOD, OR DON'T, WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, AND BUY THE NEW CD!!!!!!!!

HITTIN' THE HIGHWAY

11-05-05

WELL, WELL, WELL... IT'S FINALLY HERE. THAT'S RIGHT, WE ARE OFFICIALLY ON OUR 1ST TOUR IN SUPPORT OF "TO HELL AND BACK." YOU DID BUY YOUR COPY OF THE NEW RECORD DID'N'T YOU? IF NOT, I GUESS WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE. MAN, I TELL YOU IT FEELS GOOD TO FINALLY BE OUT HERE GETTIN' THIS THING OUT! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH TRYING TO BOOK AN ENTIRE TOUR... IT'S A LOT OF WORK, AND I'M JUST GLAD THAT WE'RE FINALLY DOING THIS PART OF IT RATHER THAN MAKING ALL OF THE CALLS, SENDING ALL OF THE E-MAILS, SENDING THIS OUT TO A CLUB, AND THEN SENDING THAT OUT TO YET ANOTHER CLUB. YOU GET MY POINT.

AS I WRITE THIS, I'M SITTING AT THE LOVELY HOLIDAY INN IN SLC, UT. IT'S ABOUT 9:30 IN THE MORNING, AND T-BONE JUST WOKE UP. YA' KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS... THE REST OF US COULD FINALLY GET SOME DECENT SLEEP DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE NO LONGER SOUNDS LIKE A FRIGGIN' BUZZSAW. i KID YOU NOT, HE SNORES LOUDER THAN ANY ANIMAL I'VE EVER EVEN HEARD OF. I LITERALLY BROUGHT GUN MUFFLER HEADPHONES TO TRY AND BLOCK OUT THE SYMPHONY OF TONY WHILE I'M SLEEPING. BUT, I DIGRESS.

WE'VE DONE OUR FIRST TWO SHOWS. THE FIRST ONE IN DENVER WAS AWESOME! YOU GUYS REALLY GAVE US THE PROPER SEND OFF. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT. THEN, WE PLAYED SLC LAST NIGHT. WE DIDN'T MANAGE TO SELL OUT THE ARENA, BUT WE HAD A GREAT TIME PLAYING FOR OUR NEW FRIENDS HERE. NOW IT'S TIME TO DO THIS WHIRLWIND 17 OR 18 DAYS IN A ROW, OR WHATEVER IT IS! HELL YEAH!!!

ONE YEAR AGO THIS WEEKEND, WE STARTED OUT ON A SMALL REGIONAL TOUR, AND HAD ONE OF THE BIGGEST SCARES OF OUR LIFE. TONY HAD A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK WHILE WE WERE IN SOME SHITTY MOTEL 6 SOMEWHERE. WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IF THE GUY WAS GONNA' MAKE IT THROUGH. WELL, I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT HE NOT ONLY MADE IT, BUT ONE YEAR LATER... HE'S BEATING THOSE DRUMS TO SHIT EVERY NIGHT.

WE'RE GONNA BE OUT FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, SO IF WE'RE COMING TO YOUR CITY, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO COME OUT AND SAY HELLO. I PROMISE THAT YOU WILL GET ROCKED! THAT'S RIGHT, COS' WE'RE DELIVERING IT TO YOU AT EVERY STOP!

I'LL BE POSTING PICTURES FROM ALL OF THE STOPS AS I GET A CHANCE. I'LL ALSO TRY TO UPDATE THIS THING WITH TALES OF THE SIN AND DEBAUCHERY THAT WILL SURELY FOLLOW. IF YOU HAVE ANY PICS, FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL THEM TO US.

THE LAST THING I'LL MENTION IS THAT WE HAVE ALL OF OUR NEW MERCHANDISE. THIS INCLUDES NEW T-SHIRT DESIGNS, TRUCKER CAPS, PANTIES FOR YOU LOVELY LADIES, HOODIES, STICKERS, POSTERS, ETC... MAKE SURE TO PICK UP YOUR JETT BLACK GEAR, SO YOU CAN HELP US WITH GAS MONEY TO THE NEXT CITY. OH YEAH, AND ALSO SO THAT YOU CAN SAY YOU WERE THERE... AND YOU GOT ROCKED!

THAT'S IT FOR NOW, BUT STOP BY SOON, AND I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON EVERYTHING. GOTTA GO... IT'S LOST VEGAS TONIGHT WITH OUR FRIENDS JACKASS. WISH US LUCK!

THE SHOW ROLLS ON

11-10-05

AH, THE DESERT. AS I WRITE THIS, WE'RE ON INTERSTATE 10 ON OUR WAY TO LAS CRUCES NEW MEXICO. WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO PICK UP A SHOW TONIGHT, SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE STRAIGHT FROM PHOENIX, AZ TO SAN ANTONIO, TX. THAT'S A HELL OF A STRETCH IF YOU GO STRAIGHT THROUGH. PLUS... THERE'S NO TIME FOR A DAY OFF ON THIS TOUR, WE'RE BANGIN' IT OUT ONE SHOW AFTER ANOTHER.

THE TOUR HAS BEEN GREAT SO FAR! SINCE MY LAST POSTING, WE'VE BEEN GOING NON-STOP. I'LL TRY AND CATCH YOU UP ON IT. SATURDAY WAS LAS VEGAS. WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THE SIN CITY? WE GOT TO TOWN AND STOPPED BY OUR FAVORITE SUSHI BAR. ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER, IGOR AND TONY WERE FINALLY DONE TERRORIZING THE POOR CHEF'S. (IT'S AN ALL YOU CAN EAT JOINT) OFF TO THE SHOW. WE HAD A GREAT SHOW WITH JACKASS. HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT: PETE FINESTONE (BAD RELIGION'S ORIGINAL DRUMMER) SAT IN WITH US AND PLAYED "YOU." THAT WAS PRETTY COOL.

WE DROVE TO SAN DIEGO THAT NIGHT, AND GOT IN EARLY SO THAT THERE WOULD BE PLENTY OF TIME FOR TIJUANA. WE HAD A BLAST DOWN THERE UNTIL MY CELL PHONE (WITH EVERY IMPORTANT # I HAVE) GOT STOLEN RIGHT OFF OF THE TABLE WE WERE SITTING AT. NOTE TO SELF... STAPLE, OR OTHERWISE ATTACH ALL PERSONAL BELONGINGS TO SELF WHEN SOUTH OF THE BORDER! THE DRIVE BACK (YES, I SAID DRIVE: WAY TO GO JOSE!) ACROSS THE BORDER WAS QUITE ENTERTAINING. CHECK THE PHOTO SECTION FOR PICS REAL SOON. YOURS TRULY MADE A HELL OF A STREET PEDDLER GOING CAR TO CAR WITH ALL MY PEEPS. WE GOT BACK IN TIME FOR SOME QUALITY TIME AT THE STEAK HOUSE THAT WAS IN OUR HOTEL. BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR PICS OF TONY LAYING ON TOP OF A PIANO A LA MICHELLE PFEIFFER DOING HIS SPECIAL RENDITION OF "HERE I GO AGAIN" WITH ACCOMPANIMENT BY MYSELF.

WE HAD AN AWESOME SHOW AT THE ZOMBIE LOUNGE. SAN DIEGO ROCKS ON EVEN A SUNDAY NIGHT. THANKS TO ZIGGY, JOSE, AMY, AND CHRISSY. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE ALL OF YOU. WE'LL BE BACK FOR ANOTHER T.J. RUN SOON!

WELCOME TO HOLLYWEIRD. MONDAY IN LA LA LAND. THANKS TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS FOR COMING OUT TO THE SHOW ON A MONDAY. YOU GUYS MADE IT A BLAST FOR US! THANKS WES FOR EVERYTHING!, AND TO IGOR'S BROTHER MARK FOR PUTTING US UP IN YOUR HOME. SORRY ABOUT TONY'S SNORING. YES, IT SCARES US AS WELL. THAT'S WHY BART AND I OPTED TO SLEEP IN THE VAN!.

TUESDAY IN HUNTINGTON BEACH. NOT EXACTLY A PACKED HOUSE, BUT WE HAD A GREAT TIME ANYWAY. THANKS TO JANA, NICOLE, CRAIG, JAMES AND CHEROKEE FOR THE GOOD TIME! WE STAYED AT OUR FRIEND STACY'S PLACE IN IRVINE AFTER THE SHOW. THIS PROVIDED ONE OF THE MORE AMUSING MOMENTS SO FAR. THERE WAS TONY CRASHING ON THE COUCH. AS USUAL SOUNDED LIKE AN F''ING BUZZSAW. WELL, STACY HAS AN INSANELY FAT PUG THAT WAS QUITE CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT THIS INSANELY LOUD NOISE COULD BE. IF ONLY I HAD MY CAMERA WITH ME. HERE WAS TONY, FACE TO FACE WITH WILLIS' AND THE MOST INSANE BATTLE OF THE SNORE THAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE. SORRY WE MISSED YOU FRANCO, BUT THANKS FOR THE PAD!

WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN PHOENIX, AZ BROUGHT OUT THE ENTIRE IGOR FAN CLUB. THANKS TO PAGE THE VILLAGE IDIOT, AND CURSE OF THE PINK HEARSE FOR PLAYING WITH US. WE HAD A REALLY GOOD SHOW. WE JUST KEEP GETTING TIGHTER EVERY NIGHT! I'M LOVIN' THIS! AFTER THE SHOW, WE STAYED WITH YET ANOTHER BROTHER OF IGOR'S. THANKS MIKE AND JILL FOR THE MOST RELAXING PLACE ON THE PLANET. WE HAD AN AWESOME NIGHT IN THE DESERT. HELL, I MIGHT HEAD STRAIGHT BACK THERE WHEN WE FINISH UP IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

WELL, THE VAN ROLLS ON, AND THE CIRCUS CONTINUES. WE'RE PULLING INTO LAS CRUCES RIGHT NOW, SO I'M GONNA END THIS POST FINALLY. CHECK BACK FOR MORE UPDATES, AND LOOK FOR PICS TO BE ADDED IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS! AS ALWAYS, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME -

SO WHERE DO I BEGIN? WHEN YOUR SUPER HEROS LEFT YOU LAST TIME, WE WERE IN THE VAN PULLING IN TO LAS CRUCES TO BRING THE ROCK. WE ENDED UP HAVING A GREAT SHOW THERE ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS ONLY BOOKED A FEW HOURS BEFORE OUR ARRIVAL. I COULD PROBABLY GO ON AND ON WITH ONE STORY AFTER ANOTHER, BUT I'LL SPARE YOU ALL OF THE BORING DETAILS. INSTEAD, IF IN FACT YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT POWER OUTAGES AND CRACK PIPES IN TULSA, OR THE SIN AND DEBAUCHERY IN DALLAS, OR THE 11 FT BURMESE PYTHON WE STAYED WITH IN SAN ANTONIO, ETC... SEND ME AN E-MAIL TO jett@jettblack.net AND I'LL TRY TO FILL YOU IN.

TO SUM IT UP, THE TOUR WAS A SUCCESS OVERALL. WE GOT OUT THERE AND DID OUR THING NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, AND ALTHOUGH WE DIDN'T "SEE A MILLION FACES, WE STILL "ROCKED THEM ALL" ( THE ONES THAT WE DID SEE.) I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE 80'S ROCKER REFERENCE! WE GOT TIGHTER AND TIGHTER AS A BAND, AND EVEN THOUGH SOME DAYS WERE BETTER THAN OTHERS, THE SHITTIEST DAY ON THE ROAD IS STILL A HELL OF A LOT BETTER THAN THE BEST DAY SITTING IN AN OFFICE OR DOING ANY JOB THAT YOU'RE NOT 100% PASSIONATE ABOUT.

WE FINISHED UP IN BOULDER, COLORADO WITH HELL'S BELLES AT THE FOX THEATRE. THERE COULDN'T BE A BETTER FINISH THAN TO PLAY IN AN AWESOME THEATRE WITH GREAT SOUND, GREAT STAFF, AND A CROWD OF SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE ON HAND THAT ACTUALLY LIKE ROCK AND ROLL. I'LL GET INTO MORE OF A TANGENT IN REGARDS TO THE "ROCK AND ROLL" THING IN ANOTHER POSTING,  BUT FOR NOW, BACK TO BOULDER. WE HAD A KILLER SHOW, AND GOT TO HANG WITH THE BELLE'S FOR A WHILE. AS A RESULT OF THAT SHOW, WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO LAND A FEW DATES WITH THE LADIEZ AGAIN FOR THE END OF THE YEAR.(LADIEZ JUST SEEMS TO HAVE MORE IMPACT WHEN YOU SPELL IT WITH A "Z".) WE'LL BE PLAYING A FEW OF THE MOUNTAIN TOWNS, AS WELL AS DENVER (SEE TOUR PAGE FOR DETAILS). IF YOU'RE IN THE AREA, WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AT ONE OF THE SHOWS.

AS FOR NOW, WE'RE ALL HANGING OUT IN DENVER, RELAXING. IT'S NICE TO ACTUALLY HAVE SOME TIME AT HOME WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS, THE DOG, ETC... IT KIND OF TAKES A MINUTE TO REGAIN YOUR SANITY, AND ADJUST BACK TO "REAL LIFE" AGAIN. I'VE STARTED WORKING ON SOME NEW SONGS, AND WE'RE GOING TO START RECORDING SOME PRE-PRODUCTION STUFF SOON. THERE'S ALSO TALK OF AN ANIMATED VIDEO FOR "TO HELL AND BACK." I SHOULD HAVE MORE DETAILS ON THAT SOON. WE'RE PLANNING ON BEING BACK ON THE ROAD IN FEBRUARY SOMETIME, AND THEN HOPEFULLY DOING SOME PRETTY EXTENSIVE TOURING IN THE SPRING/SUMMER 2006. I'LL KEEP THIS UPDATED AS AFTEN AS I HEAR NEW INFO.

LASTLY, I WILL MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NEW TOUR PHOTOS POSTED, AS WELL AS ALL OF OUR NEW MERCHANDISE BEING AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR STORE. WE SHOULD HAVE ALL OF THAT DONE BY NEXT WEEK SOMETIME.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY THE SITE, AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS -

JETT BLACK

10,000 MILES LATER

07-12-06

IT'S BEEN A WHILE...

02-01-07

What's up, you crazy fuckers? Thanks for checking in on us. I haven't "blogged" in a while, and I've been feeling blogually frustrated so I finally broke down, and decided to get back on it. Well, here goes, here's an update. We toured like crazy last year. We released a new CD. We ate lots of sushi on the road. We looked at great porn. We met tons of great people and played with some great bands. It was a very good year. It's pretty cool when you get to do something that you've always dreamed about since you were a kid! Well, in the midst of all of the good, it's hard not to have some bad here and there. The bad for us was that everybody got a little burnt out from touring so much, and not really making tons of money doing it. Also, we had a couple of opportunities that looked promising, but in the end they fell through. Those things can knock a little wind out of your sails. I'm not saying that you're supposed to lay down and die, but it can slow you down a bit. At any rate, we slowed down a bit, and it's kind of weird. We've only played a handful of shows since September, and I had really gotten used to a non-stop, let's go do it again kind of schedule. The craziest part of it is that we released our best album to date, and part of me feels like we should be out there killin' it every night, in order to spread the gospel, so to speak. Well, I'm not sure when that will be happening right now, but I can assure you that we will hit the road again, I just can't give you an exact date. In the meantime, we will be playing some select shows around Denver.

On a personal note, for those of you who don't already know, I got married last year, and my amazing wife, Kate, and I are going to have a little boy in March! Holy shit, I'm gonna be a dad. The scarier thing is that Tony's gonna be an uncle. I'll post some pics as soon as the little devil gets here. I've also started working on some solo stuff. It's a bit different than what I do with Jett Black, and I'm hoping to do something with it soon. I love Jett Black, and plan to continue on with it, I'm just looking for something that will be fun on the side. I'll keep you posted on that.

Lastly, I want to say thanks to Bart, Igor, and Tony for doin' this crazy shit with me. Especially to Tony, or T-Bag as I like to call him. We've been in this thing together since day one. Who the hell would have ever thought you and I would  be here now, still doing this? Love ya', brother!

Well, I can't really think of anything else to blog about right now, so until next time... Keep the Rock Alive!
