About Me

YES IT'S TRUE!
Original members of The Jackalopes, Rev. Chad Wells, GeeGee Bradley and Ronnie Tinkham will reunite to celebrate their 10 Year Anniversary! This short "relapse" will also feature long time on-again-off-again drummer Nathan Bush and the bands last live guitarist Justin Barbarino. This is a powerhouse Jackalopes line-up!
NEXT RELAPSE SHOW!
JULY 25th at SOUTHPARK TAVERN, Wayne Ave. Dayton, OH
w/ our old pals THE GIVE UPS!
This will be a very special hometown set in a very close up and personal atmosphere. We can't wait to see you all there. Thanks for being so supportive of our Summer relapse!
GET TATTOOED BY THE REV!

Jackalopes @ Bernie's 2001 (?)
Video compilation of pics from Hell City Relapse show, shot and compiled by fan, Ireland featuring Rumble Downtown and Burning Down The World.
This is an entire show from Elbo's during the JayJay years. Because it's a huge file, some people have problems with the sound and video syncing up.

the jackalopes live at elbows 8/26/05 from Cincinnati Local Music Scene vid on Vimeo .

The Jackalopes were a High Energy, Horror Punk N' Roll band from the bowels of Dayton, Ohio. The Jackalopes started in 1998 and have played with and shared space on compilations with bands ranging from Electric Frankenstein, Mr. Bungle, The Ataris, New Bomb Turks, The Hellacopters, Graves, The Donnas, Blitzkid, Wednesday 13, 69 Eyes and MANY more! Often compared to The Misfits, Fear, The Damned, Motley Crue and even Hawkwind(!!), the band has similarly carved a deep black "X" into the forehead of the Rock N' Roll underground. LOCK UP YOUR CHILDREN BECAUSE THE STREETS WILL NEVER BE SAFE AGAIN!

Certain song origins...

I've discussed individually with many people the origins of some of my lyrics. Many people think I just write B-Movie send ups or run of the mill punk rock... Maybe so, but know that even the silliest...
