About Me

CHECK US OUT ON YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!!!! So here we are this refugee family from metro Detroit. Walking away from the wreckage of a great city and it's surrounding area and the American "dream" that has gone down the shitter with it for not only our family but millions of others as well. We land literally in the middle of nowhere. Meeting well meaning people, many of whom I would hope, due to living in an isolated area have a rather myopic view of our country and just what has transpired here in the last say 20 years. So with this "vision" fully in mind. the mission we started was and is this: 1)Bring to the Olympic peninsula (and hopefully all of America and beyond) a mortal overdose of Detroit style industrial strength (MC5,The stooges come to mind) ultra high decibel Punkasurfadelic rock with a hint of early 60's Mod overtones thrown in for good measure.2)THE MESSAGE IS THIS: Our politicians sold all of us out to big business and half the people in this country aren't listening ,don't know what the fuck happened or don't care:3) We aren't real happy about this!.So basically we mugged misses Partridge stole the rights to her T.V show and "rock" group pop'd a cap in her nappy ass threw her in the Detroit river. Got some of her royalty checks and bought some REAL equipment and got some gigs as a nice little "family" rock band...Well we really are a family!... Talk about culture shock (and we know now from everyone's perspective!). The cube, the Junction the logger dudes yelling what the hell is that??? Your so loud! oh and the acid dancer lady riding the mic stand!!! the long winding road of shows, a few "minor" scrapes with the law (well I thought that it was just a civil infraction!) some serious past vomits, good times!, I mean really the jist of it is....Have you ever been hit in the head so hard with a fist/bat/flying saucer or say 125 db of raw noise that you no longer can balance properly or for that matter get words to form in your brain much less roll off your tongue in a fashion that others can make sense of ? Well if this has happened to you , you may not actually remember what transpired during said time frame but you surly recalled it has in fact happened!.. Well we just want you to remember that you saw Amsterjam live and hopefully come away with at least some memory of seeing us play live!. Enjoyment comes dressed in many different costumes. We sincerely hope you enjoy our show!.HEY PEEPS: LOVE PEOPLE, USE THINGS.....OUR THANKS TO: AMJAM JENNY AND GIN THE BADASS FOR THE SIC CAMERA WORK ON "PURE" !!!!!!!!!! pure music video

HOLE,David Bowie (spiders from mars era) The great NEIL YOUNG,Screaming trees,Queens of the stone age, The Knack ( underrated band), Cat Stevens (oh yes!),The Monkees (you don't think so? yeah look at the song writing credits and who actually did the studio work on their songs and then think AGAIN), The Tragically hip, the killers, white stripes,Donovan Leitch , THE GREAT BEATLES, Eddie Vedder,Sound Garden(!), Chuck Mangione, ,Silver sun pick ups, Jimi Hendrix, The who, STP, The Who THE WHO, THE FUCKIN" WHOOO!!! early power pop , THE GREAT JOHNNY CASH, Tom Jones (only the coolest man on earth), The Kinks, , Smashing pumkins, smashing instruments, Passing Ruphians , Live, Janes Addiction, FRANK ZAPPA, And foremost the GREAT MOKSHYA (as a way of life) and combat rock in general ,.......
Sounds Like: A chain saw revving full tilt sawing a live mountain lion in half next to a jet airplane engine at full afterburn accompanied by a jack hammer. all thru a 15,000 watt P.A ///// Then someone screams over all this I think he(?) said AAAAAAARGIFUCKYA!!! falls flat on his face passed out..The pretty bass player runs up you would think to assist the thunderstruck "singer" and promply kicks said punter REPEATEDLY in the stones ...HARD. She must know something we don't because the singer gets up and albeit in several octaves higher in a beautiful falsetto in now perfect pitch tears into bohemian rhapsody the band unfortunately for him is playing some deranged version of the Buddy Holly song "well alright" now but in his state he just does not seem to notice and plows right on thru. Interesting any way.Music??? I DUNNO. The club owner is screaming something at "the band" but they cannot hear (well they all motion as such) and his attempts to mount the stage ended in him wearing the outline of the butt end of the guitar players strat on his forehead along with several stitches. They said we could talk further after they meet with the bail bondsman later this afternoon so hopefully we will have more to write at that time. REALLY in a live setting think along the lines of The Who in say 1966-67 , (see my generation at the Marquee club on you tube,or come see us!)///// THESE ARE THE NOISES WE HEAR IN OUR HEADS. AND NOW LADIES AND "GENTLEMAN" YOU WILL HEAR THEM IN YOURS. ! THANKS EVERYBODY...LOVE PEOPLE........ USE THINGS, This is the late Forrest Rosaire. He was and will always be a great blues guitarist, smooth singer and songwriter not to mention a super friendly guy that was fun to be around. Losing him was a huge blow to the music scene in this area and us three personally. Forrest also gave this little group of miscreants it's first shot on the stage during his breaks at the junction.We are forever in his debt. As for the rest of the world having done that is the only blemish on his soul!....WE all miss you Forrest.
