We are your sex life

About Me

...a horrible positive reason:
to have watched a human being you loved deeply, that you had gotten real close to, held and slept with and kissed and worried about and befriended and most of all ADMIRED... to see that warm living person burn out from the inside, burn from the heart outward. Until it clicked and clacked like an insect, repeating one sentence over and over again.
A recording.
A closed loop of tape.
-PKD
-----------------------
Imagine music for the worlds saddest strip club. All of the dancers are upset because of the paths their lives have taken them, and all of the patrons realize how pathetic it is that this is the only way they're able to get a bit of affection from the opposite sex. That's what we sound like.
"AMAZING! There was stripping, loud beats, great songs, smiles on tap, homo-erotica straight boy style... the crowd wore horror, panic stricken looks on their faces for a set that seemed to go on forever... I personally could've watched that madness all night (and I don't really like electronic music!)."
-Mark Sheehan (booker for Sierra Grille and the Basement, founder of the Happy Valley Battle of the Bands, manager of Curious Buddies, Apocalipstick and others)
"It's like dance music on... ketamine."
-Johnny Vegas
"8-bit, greasy, sexy electromance."
-Scott Alden (Levelette, Abeja, several other glorious things)

CD Trading Policy

Because new music is usually so much cooler than money, I am now instating the JBE CD trading policy. If you're in a band and have a CD and want a copy of a JBE CD, we can make a fair trade. Here's ...
