About Me

Blue Circle, Rubber Bands approaches . . .

JSB Squad
Blue Circle, Rubber Bands
Album Release Show is June 20, 2008 at The Magic Stick in Detroit

For the extravaganza the JSB Squad lineup will include Jesse Shepherd-Bates, Jeremy Smith, Erik Roosen, George Morris, Mick Bassett, Allison Young, Gordon Smith, Ryan Weise and DJ Malvitch.

JSB Squad plays music written by Jesse Shepherd-Bates. The lineup of the squad features EVERYONE IN EXISTENCE (only one person has said she doesn't want to be in the squad so far . . . and she was drunk . . . and bitter. . . ).

Listen to the music and let us know what you think. We also really really like visual art, give us some and we'll cross-promote!

Here is a song Jesse has a really hard time remembering -
