January Planning

Next show: last week of Jan we're gonna pull together some sorta fundraising, guitar banging, clod hopping party and you'all are invited! So keep your ears to the ground... both of em.

Nest step: mid Jan we're gonna start auditioning bassists! We need a multi-instrumentalist, got-his/her/its-own-rig kinda bass playa that can groove to our tunes! If you think you got the rocks (bullocks or boobies) then contact the suckaz on the contact page and hope the spot hasn't been filled cause that's all we can really guarantee without a court mandated approval. Remember, we play non-paying gigs in the greater Montreal area including full kit sets and acoustic shows depending on the venue. We prefer to play fundraisers and shows that help support causes, social enterprises, and community building. We are ready, willing and able and you need to be too! This offer expires the moment you get your shit together.

Global, Intra-Band Influences

Music (Although we could elaborate on this, this whole point form shit is starting to get kinda anal (in the Freudian sense, of course...) right now.
Substances (Our own special, personalized way of stating the obvious!)
Existence (Seriously... At this very given moment, you are where you are at this very given moment reading this very given text right now because we decided it was a good idea (at the time, that is...)!)

What the band thinks of the band

The band thinks that the 'band' (referred to herein as MJV) should think that the readers of this blog and/or followers of its' affiliated website(s) should logon to and listen to what we've got so far ('cause, you know... we try!)!


Here's the deal


I joined Mister Jackson's Van before I even joined the band per se.  By that, I mean I was drunkenly and randomly acquainted with Josh and Chris at a university-integrated bar.  By that, I mean "dere is a bar in da skool we studied at and have been buddies since."
Writing a band bio in a first-person perspective is a little difficult considering how they're usually written from a third-person perspective. Our thoughts on the band are: As long as you have a van, you can go wherever you can; but some things were not meant to go hand in hand. The previous sentence had little actual meaning; it was just a bad rhyme of the most trivial sort acting as filler for the 'band bio' so that it takes up enough space on this website to look all pretty and nice.  If you think our modest little slice of cyberspace looks nice now; just wait until we get that little 'Paypal' button all up in this bitch! Just kidding. Buy some merch when we have some and we'll forget this little miscommunication.
