Summer
We will be rocking out in the city of New York as much as we can from now until we leave the fine city of New York. I thought we were going to stop playing by the new year--but as you can see, the next gig is marked January 15th--there will be a couple of more shows before that one. There will be some solo acoustic shows, and a few electric. Samantha will be playing drums a few times, but there may be other shows with male drummers. I no longer have to throw out the idea of a final show. There is more music being recorded under a different name and I am not going anywhere.I AM PRESENTLY WORKING WITH OTHER MUSICIANS ON A NEW PHASE/MOVEMENT I CALL THE DRUNKEN SENTIMENTAL. WE WILL HAVE A PAGE UP SOMETIME IN THE NEW YEAR. THERE ARE FOUR DIFFERENT GUITARISTS ON THIS ALBUM AND THERE'S EVEN A FEMALE VOCALIST ON SOME TRACKS. LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING MORE OF THE ACCORDIAN AND A TAMBOURINE. THIS WILL BE THE FINAL ALBUM RECORDED BY SALVATORE RUSSO--AFTER THIS HE WILL ONLY BE FOCUSING ON LITERATURE...AFTER ALL, IT'S WHAT HE WENT TO EMERSON COLLEGE FOR.A few moths ago, I finished recording ALL THE DEAD BRUNETTES
Although this was the last official LOTSJ album---I already put together a collection of rarities I like to call FALL OF THE JETS. These tracks as well as some really sweet shit I recorded over the last seven years are all included in a collection called WE CAN TAKE THE PAIN. This has a lot of poignant shit from volumes one through for...THIS COLLECTION OF MUSIC IS NOW AVAILABLE AT CD BABY.COM--MEANING THE TUNES ARE ALREADY ON I-TUNES (NAPSTER, RHAPSODY, AMAZON ETC)
(Salvatore can also be contacted at [email protected])It's been about three years
of playing about once a month,
The first gig was at pianos
I opened with the March into Hell
at the upstairs bar...
The March into Hell
(for those of you unfamiliar)
is the opening track on volume two
(I crash cars)
It's a really loud track, every time I played it back in the day
when I had no drummer or back-up, someone at the venue would complain
"The drums are too loud, the bartender can't concentrate...."
Don't get the wrong impression, all the people in the audience love it,
but there's something about that track that seriously frightens
the "so-called " establishment
I was really, really drunk during that show.It got easier,
I played at Pianos again, spent a shit-load of time at CBGB"s Gallery,
played a few shows at Siberia, the mean Fiddler, The Pussycat Lounge and such.....then some asshole deleted my entire account--I lost hundreds of friends and my history of shows....that really pissed me off. I also played several times at the 169 Bar, originally solo, then with a male drummer, then, finally, with Dawn Samantha. The shows have all been a great time and I appreciate all the people that actually made it out to some--to those long-distance friends and people in other cities--don't fret, I understand. I assure you that we shall return.....

SO THE STORY GOES, ALL OF THESE TUNES WERE WRITTEN AND RECORDED BY SALVATORE RUSSO ON A FOUR-TRACK EITHER IN HIS BATHROOM OR LIVING ROOM SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 2001 AND 2007.....BEFORE THAT I WAS JUST SINGING WITH A WHOLE GROUP OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE, SOME ARE MARRIED, SOME WENT ON TO FORM BIGGER BANDS, SOME JUST GOT ENGAGED AND MOVED TO COLORADO.....LISTENING TO MUSIC ON YOUR COMPUTER IS ONE THING
BUT IT'S REALLY ALL ABOUT GOING SOMEWHERE
HAVING A DRINK AND REALLY EXPERIENCING IT
OUR MUSIC IS AVAILABLE AT I-TUNES, AMAZON AND CAFEPRESS.COM/SILVERJETS
ALL OF THESE STORIES THEY WERE WRITTEN WITH BLOOD
THAT PROBABLY CAME FROM THE ONES THAT YOU LOVE
ALL STILL SEE YOU WHEN WE DREAM--ALL BE DRINKING IN OUR DREAMS
YOU SHOULD BE READING MORE YUKIO MISHIMA--HE IS A GOD
YEAH, THIS PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT UP
