Saturday, October 6 at The Beachcomber in Quincy
That's right, we're starting back up baby ... sure it's been about 3 months since we played, but better late than never, right? Why so long? I don't know ... lazy? nah ... apathetic? whatever ... maybe we just suck. Look all that matters is that you now have plenty of time to find a babysitter, wash your hair and gas up whatever Communist-loving, America-hating econbox you choose to drive and get yourself up to the Q for some hot, sweaty patio action at the House That Jimmy Built. Yes, the Beachcomber ... formerly known as Nostalgia, formerly known as the Beachcomber. Where the floor's a little crooked and the beers are always frigid. What more do you want?
Another show?
Well, check out the shows page and see that we're heading to a few other locales like Worcester, Framingham and Norwell. Yes, cultural meccas one and all!
By the way one of the shows is the Night Before Thanksgiving. If you don't know, now you know.
So there it is. You wanted some shows ... screw that, I wanted some shows ... and there they are. We'll keep you updated here and on the Facebook where Adam just rains content like a rapper at a strip club. Dude is unreal.
That's it for now. Make your plans to drop your glasses and shake your asses. That goes double for all the Hingham, Cohasset, Scituate you-know-who's. Time to skip the bar at Barker Tavern with Reginald and his old man friends and come out to where the good times are. You know, like that Eagles song "In The City" ... wait, no that wasn't it ... "Heartache Tonight?" ... no ... oh yeah, "Lyin' Eyes" that's the one. Check yourself ladies, you know what I'm talking about. Get in the Mercedes SUV and come down for a taste of the dark side, huh? Huh? Hey now.
Out.

CATCH US LIVE ON THE RADIO MONDAY NIGHT JUNE 25 and TWO SHOWS JUNE 29 and 30!!!
THAT is CORRECT! We will be playing live on WATD - 95.9 FM this Monday night (June 25) on South Shore Live! I think we're on around 8:30 or 9PM, so get some beers in the cooler, grab yer transistor radio and sit outside in the warm, refreshing summer air and listen to our previously unheard selection of lullabyes and klezmer fusion. Well, not really, but I'm sure we'll be playing some favorites - like "Favorite" maybe? - and maybe the possibility for some light-hearted banter, which should be interesting because I don't think any of us will have been drinking yet ... So tune in to South Shore Live on Monday night!
The radio show is a nice segue into our first doubleheader weekend ... doubleheader meaning two shows, not some weirdo Eiffel tower action ...
Friday, June 29 at The Lucky Dog Music Hall in Worcester
Saturday, June 30 at The Beachcomber in Quincy
Oh yeah ... summer nights in Worcester and Quincy, two cities that are near and dear to all of us at Clutch Grabwell Enterprises, LLC. This is a stellar weekend, people. An opportunity to hang out with us in your geographical region without having to travel too far, OR make it a special one and come to both shows! I should have probably thought about some sort of prize or other reward for doing so, but I haven't thought this all the way through yet ... Look, you can't go wrong with either club, and everyone knows that we are a good effing time, so why question it too much? Just do it ... doooo it ... cliches abound, pick one: "you only live once," "what have you got to lose." "what could go wrong," etc. But listen, if you can't make it, it's OK, you are obsolved. I know it's graduation party time, or maybe your wife is a pain in the ass and has a gazillion projects YOU need to finish around the house, or maybe you're like me and you prefer to drink alone in the garage with the lights off. It's OK. I get it. However, all you Hingham, Cohasset, and surrounding town 30+ year old chicks with the husbands that are more like dads, you have no excuse. Stars? Tosca? C’mon, don’t sell yourself that short … Marina Bay Ocean Club? Really? (I’ll get to this in a minute …) You want to get slapped on the ass by a bunch of suburban Jersey Shore wannabes? (Unless they pass the credit check…) No, come around the corner to beautiful, clean Wollaston Beach, park in the dirt lot that you have to jump like the Dukes of Hazzard on your way out, and grab a resin chair on the patio. Then, after a few Bud Lights (because you don’t need another high calorie appletini if you want to keep Daddy Warbucks around), come inside and dance off the unwanted calories and shame with us! Believe me, it will make you forget about your financially stable, yet emotionally vacant life as the third wife of Worthington Stotesbury III, and mother of Brinkley and Channing … you know I’m right …
OK, going back to Ocean Club – what. the. eff. happened? When it was the Tent, it was awesome – a bar, some chairs, bands and chicks in bikinis serving huge cans (pun intended) of Bud Light. Easy. No guns, no knife fights, just a good time in the summer sun on the water. Well done Ritchie Barrett. Then, Waterworks. Fifteen fancy bars, barbeque joint, horseshoes, volleyball … basically 15 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag, plus knife fights and cops getting into all sorts of shenanigans. Now it’s all over and Ocean Club is there. DJs. Not like the guys playing your cousins wedding, those dudes with costume heads on, blowout haircuts, backwards/crooked baseball hats, Air Jordans, etc … pretty hard to believe these guys get paid to play music other people make – but I guess it’s like Netflix … they didn’t invent the DVD or the Post Office, they just put them together. Well played. I don’t know ... I haven’t been over there in a long time, and the fact that DJ Fartbox is rolling into town isn’t really firing me up … oh well, good luck iPod playing dudes! Enjoy the bottle service (ugh …), bad cologne and STDs!
That’s it. Monday night. Call in and win a free ear cleaning. Then Friday and Saturday after that. COME OUT TO THE SHOW. I’m not going to tell you again …

Saturday, June 9 at Break-Away Billiards in Clinton, MA
Well, well, well. Thank you to everyone we saw at the Tinker's Son in Norwell last time! Some long-time fans we haven't seen since the good old days came out ... maybe a little older, or fatter ... maybe a little less "hot" but hey! We don't care about that! To quote that fat drunk driver on Long Island, we love you just the way you are ... and I traded in my totalled Chevy for a Lincoln-coln-coln-coln-coln-coln/You oughta know by now ...
That's enough BJ for one day ... I mean what?
Yeah, so the Tinker's Son apparently doesn't know how to build a stage big enough for a band that consists of more than a guitar player, fiddler and a meatwhistler ... uhhh, tinwhistler. Yeah, that's it. But, we all had on extra deodorant, and beer spillage was kept to a minimum. Personally, I felt like Derek Smalls when he was stuck inside the plastic cocoon during "Rock and Roll Creation", but it didn't matter. Still a lot of fun and a great crowd.
Moving on, this coming weekend is Memorial Day, and I hope everyone takes the opportunity to remember those who have died for our country. I don't mean to get serious, but keep it in mind as your drinking some beers, eating some food and hanging with your pals. We don't get to do these things without those men and women paving the way. We have a lot of family members and friends that served and we thank you all.
OK, back to business - June is shaping up, people. On the 9th, we are in Clinton at Break-Away Billiards, where there are always two huge reasons to go to the bar and order a drink. Trust me on this. I love playing this place, man - the staff are awesome, the stage is big, and as long as you don't get faceplanted onto the monitor, you will not chip any of your teeth ...
Then on June 29th, we make a triumphant return to Worcester proper, this time at the House that Erick Built, the Lucky Dog Music Hall on Green Street. I don't think we've been there since we shared a Worcester Music Award bill with the Shods (it's been awhile), but we're stoked to get back there. The next night, June 30th, we are back in me and Mark's hometown at the Beachcomber in Quincy. Hell yeah. I don't need to say anything else, man. I'll see you on the patio for some beers and bullsh*t, like always!
That's it for the moment. Just back from my second trip to Las Vegas this year and getting ready to spend a week in Los Angeles. I'm hoping I get "discovered" while I'm out there - I hear they're doing a movie on the life of Nick Nolte and I think I'm a good match ... or maybe I could replace Dwight on "The Office" ... Ah, who am I kidding? I'll probably end up doing the Motley Crue strip club tour of Sunset again ... hey, somebody's gotta do it ...
OK folks, June 9th in Clinton. Don't forget! To come see us and the two huge reasons to go to the bar!
Later,
JC

Saturday, May 12 at The Tinker's Son in Norwell, MA
What's up y'all?
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Chicken Bone and our apologies to those who were left stranded at the door. I couldn't tell you the last time that happened. Shocker ... meaning shocking, not two went to Harvard and one went to Brown ... or two in the cha-cha and one in the ka-ka ... I could go on for awhile on this, but I'll stop now ...
OK, I'll admit to thinking the Gotye song is catchy, but a video hasn't made me that uncomfortable since D'Angelo back in the 90s. Yeesh. Because of that, I think this cover version is pretty awesome - 5 people, one guitar ... and no uncomfortable naked dude shots ...
What else ...
OK, so another show coming up on May 12 at The Tinkers Son in Norwell ... this should be fun. If I remember correctly, this is the old Mount Blue that the dudes from Aerosmith had something to do with, but much like Mama Kin on Pantsdowne Street, or anything after "Draw the Line" (the album, not the tribute act), it slowly drifted away until some new owners came in and sent the Aerosmith dudes back to set their Ferraris on fire at South Shore gas stations ... and dress up like Florence Henderson in 1965 and host a TV kareoke show ... but what do I know. And let's be honest - if they called me up and said "hey come on the road with us" I'd be on this website telling you how awesome these guys are and my favorite band of all time. Now, this may have been true for a few months back in the late 70s, but in reality, favorite bands change over time, you know? Seriously, when I was a kid, my favorite albums were "Georgy Girl" by the Seekers and "Johnny Cash - Live at San Quentin." After that, it was KISS. How uncomfortable it must have been for my parents to listen to their 8-year-old kid singing "Baby's on her knees/Baby wants it please/She wants a rocket ride/She wants a rocket ride" or "I AM THE LORD OF THE WASTELAND/A MODERN DAY MAN OF STEEL/I GATHER DARKNESS TO PLEASE ME/AND I COMMAND YOU TO KNEEL BEFORE THE GOD OF THUNDER." Hell yeah. Then it was Van Halen ... then it was Top 40 because that's what the ladies were into ... then it was aw, who cares. The result is the retarded mixture that I'm constantly reminded of by my iPod ... recently played as of 9AM on May 1, 2012:
"If I Had a Boat" by Lyle Lovett
"Birth Ritual" by Soundgarden
"Lets Go Crazy" by Prince
"The Rifleman" by Quintaine Americana
"Lay It Down" by Ratt
"Scratch" by Morphine
"All Blues" by Miles Davis
"I Don't Know Anything" by Mad Season
"Those Theiving Birds (Part 1)/Strange Behaviour" by Silverchair
"Born of Fire" by Slayer
"What If I Do" by Foo Fighters
Listen, I don't blame myself because it's not my fault. This is what happens when you have a brother with the rock, jazz, R&B on one side, and a sister who is playing the Grease soundtrack, Lionel Ritchie and George Michael. What the hell did you think was gonna happen? Why am I talking about this?
Anyways, make your plans now to come down to the Tinker's Son in Norwell on Saturday, May 12. It's gonna be fun!!!
