Javelin Boot

We started when we were 13 in 1978. Blake and Dan had played guitars together one day, so the next day, while watching -instead of reading- Romeo and Juliet freshman year, Dan turned his eyes from Olivia Hussey and asked David, "Wanna be in a band?" Our first gig was at a church lock-in. Our last gig was at the Hole in the Wall (RIP). In between, we once opened for Lover Boy. We also played with the La's, the Connells, the Grays , Will and the Bushmen, Bash and Pop, 311, the Reivers, The Tragically Hip, Robert Earl Keen, Dash Rip Rock, Magna Pop and with somewhat lesser-known but at least as good bands, like The Wayouts, Cotton Mather, The Wannabes, Rex Daisy, and a slew of others............ We played to one person in Des Moines, Iowa; he bought a shirt and a cd........We got two fan letters from Japan........We were a trio.........We had four CDs out on Pravda..........The songs here are the last ones we recorded in 1998 before Dan ran away to Taiwan. After that, Blake used his communication/business skills developed booking the band to become a commercial realestate mogul. David used his graphic arts ability, honed through the making of Javelin Boot cd covers and flyers, to start his own very successful graphic design company (for a sample of his work see: http://www.lollapalooza.com/default.asp?fd=1). Dan came back, married a girl he'd met while touring and began work on his PhD in political science (for proof see: http://polisci.wustl.edu/sub_page.php?s=3&m=3&d=30). We never broke up; you can't break up a family.
