Updates:
10/6//2004 - I'm at home visiting my parents and decided to update this page. I kept looking at it thinking, this looks like it was written by a 17 year old! Of course, it was. I'm still keeping this page up because it is the only O'Jeez fan-site I know of, and I feel it is useful for music fans.
First Update: I'm changing the theme so that the pages match each other, and doing spelling and grammar checks.
Second Update: Removed the links page. Google searches are pretty good now, and the links aren't really necessary anymore. Also, I don't have the ability to update this page remotely, so I cannot update the links for accuracy. Also, the important links have been on the "Members" page, so I updated those instead.
Third Update: Updated Members page.
Fourth Update: Added a poster from the 12/09/1997 show at the Bottleneck in Lawrence, KS. Please feel free to contact me if you have any scans of other posters.
04/19/02- Did some minor cosmetic changes, all the pages are at the same addresses, but re-titled some of them :). Added some links at the bottoms of some of the pages, and made a pretty graphic for the opening page.
02/03/02 - In case you can't tell I'm not updating this page anymore, its pretty much out of date. However, since it is (I believe) the only O'Jeez page out there, I've left it up. Today I'm fixing a few typos and updating the links page, since all my links are very dead. I might finally get around to scanning in a few things. Maybe not. Decided to add a some sample lyrics off the top of my head. shrug, might be wrong. I have been playing with colors too. Updating the bios (went out on the web to find out what the band has been up to).
09/27/98 - Recent News: Soul Asylum opened for Matchbox 20 and played after that other Minneapolis band Semisonic. The Geraldine Fibbers parted ways with their record company, Virgin. Jessy was in the studio with the Afgan Whiggs in New Orleans.
04/18/98 - Everything has just been updated a bit with the newest info I have.
02/19/98 - Changed the Biography again. Added an article. Added a Geraldine Fibbers link on the link page. Messed around with some colors. Oh Yeah. Soul Asylums Album is..."Candy From a Stranger" as originally reported, but the date has been pushed into May.
02/13/98 - Friday the 13th!!! Thanks to some emailed input I finally got my email address correct. so email me now, especially if you thought you emailed me and I didn't answer, I always answer eventually. Added to the Biography (check it out) and found a new article. Check out the new link on the link page. (Soul Asylum Tape Tree) if your an O'Jeez Fan. The name of Soul Asylum's new album is now reported to be "Creatures of Habit" and should be out March 31st. The Golden Smog are also planning to release a new album on Rykodisk this year.
01/30/98 - Having trouble finding stuff to add, fixed some minor stuff that was bothering me.
01/20/98 - Added two new articles, one from Rolling Stone and one from No Depression. If you've seen a concert, then you've heard the "free jazz" stuff these articles keep referring too. It is actually a separate song called "Walk at the Lake". After the concert I saw I spoke with Jessy Greene, and she talked about it. It seems that the song began as improvisational experimentation in the studio, and took on a life of its own. Jessy suggested that the group take a break by taking a walk around the lake, the rest of the band jumped on the idea as the name for the song.
01/17/98 - Sorry I haven't updated the page in a while. Fear not, O'Jeez has not been idle. Put an article up about where the band was on Christmas, (see more below). Soul Asylum has an album due out in March called "Candy From a Stranger" (I think.. I need to double check that). Check out this (courtesy of Paul, thanks for sending me a copy, Rob):
| I heard about the show from a friend at First Ave who said Dave might be the warm-up for Run Westy Run. When I saw that it was listed on the calendar as the D D & K surprise I figured that stood for Dave, Dan & Karl. On the set times list at the door it listed them as Dope Dust and Krystal but it was definitely Soul Asylum (without a drummer). It was a fairly short acoustic set that was somewhat similar to Dave's solo show at the 400. Pretty Boy Floyd, Stranger, Never Really Been, Closer to the Stars, String of Pearls and more. Jessy Greene played violin on a few and for an encore Kraig and Kirk Johnson came out and sang back up on Oh La La. Theres more I'm forgetting at the moment, if you have any questions let me know. - Paul |
Fixed my email, sorry if anyone tried to write I had it backwards.. and I'm spending some time fooling around with the colors, let me know what you think. That's all for now.
