Founders, January 14, 2010

Your first opportunity to see the band in 2010 will be a FREE show at Founders along with the super-sweet AB and Coconut Brown. Chance Jones will play a set first, followed by AB and Coconut Brown, and then Chance Jones will play ANOTHER set! Did I mention that all of this sweetness is FREE? And at Founders? On January 14?

Not sure about AB and Coconut Brown? I know for a FACT that there are 3 copies of their new album Indeed! at Vertigo, and they are only $6 each. That is a pretty sweet deal for such a sweet disc. Go get it now and act like you've known all about them on January 14 at Founders.

Happy Holidays...

Happy Holidays

Things will be a little slow around here for the next week or so, as there aren't any shows planned until January 14 at Founders, and it is the holiday season. This is a time of giving, and rather than feed into the rapid consumerism of today's day and age, I, Tim, would encourage you to give to any charity of your choice.

Here are some ideas that may sound good to you:

Donate to the Salvation Army, local food bank, etc.
Visit a nursing home, pediatric ward
Sign-up to tutor, mentor, or read with students in need
Contribute to international aid funds

Happy Holidays, and we'll see you in the New Year...

Kent-Ionia Labor Council, December 19, 2009

Setlist:

Take Me Home
Pastures of Plenty (Woody Guthrie cover)
Hard Travelin' (Woody Guthrie cover)
When You're Lost
The Biggest Thing That Man Has Ever Done (Woody Guthrie cover)
Something Has Changed
When You Were Mine (Prince cover)
Baby Don't Be Leaving Too Soon
Natalie
Back Home
One That Got Away
Run Rabbit Run
Hoping You'd Be Here

Tonight's benefit show was a unique one. From the venue, to the crowd size, to the lack of Miss Sapphire, tonight's show was unique to say the least. Shows like these are the ones that you hope to see, because tonight they played quite a few older tracks that haven't been heard, some covers that haven't been played, and a brand new track played "publicly" for the first time ever. Three covers of Woody Guthrie tracks, plus a Prince cover (!), PLUS the debut of the new song from Coyote. The band was loose, jamming, tight, goofy, well aware of the small crowd (maybe 15 people total?) and it all added up to a fun night. Dex really had a good night improvising. Something Has Changed was great to hear again, as was Take Me Home. Something Has Changed really rocked it. The KILC raised over $400 for former Republic Windows and Doors workers, so that was good news too. Yes, the night was taped on DV, but I'm not sure how much of it will make it out. We'll see how the band feels. Plus, Bol has the masters.

Until they play it again live...

Tonight's Benefit Show

Tonight's show is a benefit for the organizers for the Republic Windows and Doors sit-down strike last year in Chicago. Starting at 7 there will be a documentary video called "Hasta La Victoria," and then the band will perform around 9. Suggested donations to enter are $5 to $10.

Here's a link to more information regarding Republic Windows and Doors workers, and below is a map to the Kent-Ionia Labor Council.

Jammies XI + Chance Jones = Yes

Official site confirms it today. Still haven't heard anything about the nominations themselves.

Jammies XI

WYCE's Jammies XI will be coming soon. It looks like the nominees have been announced, and I'm sure that they are organizing the acts for this year's show. I'll let you know when I know. In the meantime, here's a look from John Sinkevics at last year's show. I'm sure that you'll note the hijinks that take place towards the end of the video.

Rapid Growth Media article

Rapid Growth Media has a list of their top 6 best trends and events of the year. Chance Jones was mentioned among indie music.

Muligan's Pub, December 12, 2009

Setlist:

Make It In The City
Going to See Michelle
Venango County
All You've Got
My Machine
Kitty Hijinks
One That Got Away
I Haven't Seen Her Since the Election>I'll Never Look For You Again
Nobody's Baby
Cute With A Knife
Carolina Breeze
Crosstown
Sunshine and Glory
Alone With Him
All Again

Great show tonight at Mulligan's. Really active and energetic crowd was packed tight in Mulligan's backroom. Great to hear the new tracks from Primrose mixed in with the regulars. Gives a new vibe and flow to the shows, and I think that the band looked and felt energized by the new material. The ending on My Machine really jams. Dutch Pink played just before, and they put on a great show. No video or audio tonight, although I did tape just a few seconds during City with my cell phone to see how it would sound. Nice to just kick back and soak it all in for a change.

Upcoming Shows

Saturday night the band will be playing at Mulligans Pub in Eastown, as well as another show on Friday night (12/19) at the Kent-Ionia Labor Council. More on that date as we approach it next week. A whisper in the forest told me that Chance Jones and AB & Coconut Brown will be playing a show together in January at Founders. It was either the whisper or the blizzard. I dunno. I can't remember. It all tends to blur after a while.

UPDATED TWO MINUTES LATER AFTER GOOGLE SEARCH: The Founders show is real, and it is FREE, Thursday, January 14, 2010.

Two Weekend Lists in a row...

John Sinkevics' Soundcheck blog has correctly identified a Chance Jones performance as a top thing to attend for the second weekend in a row. The big question...will he make it three-for-three with next weekend's show at Mulligans?

Once again, local artists perform holiday songs, both new and original, at the Wealthy Theater for A Winter's Tune, Sunday at 2 pm. Hope you can make it...

A Winter's Tune 2009

This Sunday marks the 2009 version of A Winter's Tune, where Chance Jones is set to perform a solo track. Their website also features quite possibly the saddest picture ever taken of Chance Jones holding a cat.

There looks to be a ton of talent lined up for Sunday's show at the Wealthy Theater. If you buy now, you can get in for $12. Tickets at the door will be $15, and for CMC members it will only set you back $10. All of the money this year is being donated to WYCE, so you know that supporting the only radio station in Grand Rapids that actively supports local music is a good cause.

Last year Chance performed an original track that was well received, as you can see below.

WYCE Best of the Decade

WYCE, 88.1 FM, is having a Best of the Decade tally. Along with best Americana, Jazz, Blues, Rock, and Global selections, there is a Best Local Act of the Decade write-in. I'm not here to bend your arm on this, but if you were so inclined to voice your opinion, I'm sure you could think of a deserving local act.

I'm just sayin', is all.

Begin the voting process here

Soundcheck

I missed this last week, but here's a blurb about the show, along with a download of "Going to See Michelle" from John Sinkevics. John also had the Intersection show listed in his Weekend List.

Coyote Trailer 2

Gotta release this when the full moon is out...



Joel's last film, Gordon, can be seen here.

Also, there will be a new song featured in the movie that should debut before too long in a live set called, "Don't You Be Leaving Too Soon."

My Machine on WYCE tonight

While driving back from the store tonight I heard "My Machine" on WYCE, 88.1 FM. Be sure to support WYCE by tuning in to them and calling up to make requests. Of course it would be great to call and request the band, but there are plenty of other great local acts to call in and request to hear as well. The more local music that is played, the better it is for everyone, especially the folks who don't even know that it exists.

WYCE request line: (616) 742-9923

Coyote trailer debuts Tuesday night

Coyote, the new film by Joel Potrykus, will debut it's new trailer tomorrow night some place on the interweb. In the meantime, here is the teaser trailer.

Thank you for visiting...

What comes next?

Met up with Bol tonight for dinner, and he gave me some insight into what is coming up next for the band. Sounds like tonight's practice will help set the course a bit more. I wouldn't bet on seeing The Letter 11 for a while, as it looks like the band could be focusing more on nailing all the new songs live. I dunno how much work that will take, as it all sounded pretty amazing Friday night.

I can tell you that there are three NEW songs, not on Primrose, that the band is already at work on! The first one is a mythical beast of a track called "All for Maria," and yes, this is "Maria," the "Crosstown" prequel that is oft written about and expected to be on the Letter 11. The next track is "Please Forgive Me," and this is a straight up new track, with no expected release. Finally, the last new track is "Don't You Be Leaving Too Soon," which is going to be featured in the Coyote soundtrack, from the upcoming film by Joel Potrykus that features Chance.

If you feel bummed that you missed the show Friday, or like a junkie, need more live Chance Jones in your life, you have two opportunities in the first week of December. You can catch a live solo show of Chance at A Winter's Tune on December 6 at the Wealthy Theater. You may remember last year's track, which was pretty fun. After that you can catch the full band at Mulligan's on December 12. Bol said that there are some January dates in the works, but we'll know more about those soon.

Exciting time to be a fan. Remember, Primrose will make an excellent gift for family and loved ones! Be sure to check out Friction, Vertigo, or iTunes to get your copies for yourself and your holiday list.

The Intersection, November 27, 2009

Setlist:

Set One:

Insult to Injury
Make It In The City
I Haven't Seen Her Since the Election>I'll Never Look For You Again
Venango County
Giant Bee Sting*
Six String Highway
Kitty Hijinks
CIA Operative
Love's Alright

*cover of Ways To Be Worse

Set Two:

The Incident at Primrose and West


Here is a video of "Love's Alright" that I shot with a soundboard patch. Unfortunately the second set did not turn out well. The good news is that many people recorded the show, so hopefully a good recording will turn up. Watch for more videos from the show as we approach the holiday season.

The Incident at Primrose and West

The fourth album from Chance Jones is now available for purchase on CD, vinyl, or digital download via Friction Records. Here's where you can get it.

You can purchase directly from Friction Records at their website. Vertigo Music will carry the cd and vinyl at their store on Division in Grand Rapids. Finally, you can download the album now from iTunes.

There were new t-shirts, stickers, posters, remastered cd's of The Letter S and 11th Hour Coward, and what may be a new pressing of The Angel's Share for sale at the merch table at the show. I'll see what the buzz is on getting some of this material available for others to buy.

Friday night the band debuted the album at the Intersection, playing it in order to an enthusiastic crowd. I was there taping the show with a soundboard patch, although the audio runs kinda hot. Not to worry, as there were multiple people there taping, including an audio recording and three other video camera's running around.

I also taped the first set, and that sounds amazing. We'll see about adding some clips soon.

Tonight I'll be seeing Bol and hopefully have some news about what comes next, including some new live dates.

BUY THE ALBUM!!!

I just saw on Facebook that The Incident At Primrose and West is available NOW on iTunes!!

If you absolutely can't wait, now is the time to buy!

Love's Alright

In celebration of tomorrow's big show, here's a video I shot at Founders back in July with a soundboard patch. The video is a little rough, but the audio is pretty clear.

Grand Rapids Press article

Here's a nice article from today's Grand Rapids Press.

Remember that tomorrow night is the album release show at the Intersection. This is a 17+ older show, $5 at the door, which opens at 9 pm. Two sets, one of older material, and the second is Primrose in its entirety. Should be a classic show, so bring your friends and family.

T-Shirts

Word is that there are two new t-shirts for sale at the Meanwhile Bar on Wealthy. Come on a Tuesday or Thursday and Bol might even sell you one.

Cute with a Knife!!!!

Want to hear a new song from TIAPAW?

Here's Cute With A Knife!

Thanks to Friction Records for posting the new track! Only a few days until the album is released.

Revue

Check out the new cover story from Revue!

@Motown

The band took a visit to Motown during their trip to Detroit last week, and now they have this nifty Facebook profile picture.

What?!?!? You're not friends with Chance Jones on Facebook? Get with it, brother...!

Tracklisting!

It's Away

Friction Record's Facebook profile just announced 15 minutes ago that The Incident At Primrose and West was mailed off to the factory to be pressed to vinyl.

Congrats to the band and Friction. Can't wait to hear it! November 20 can't come fast enough.

The Letter 11 Update

Greetings all. With The Incident at Primrose and West in the can and awaiting release, our boys and gal are already back at work on The Letter 11. Recording commenced 2 weeks ago with the laying down of base tracks, and in the subsequent weeks various members have been recording their individual parts. Bol checks in with a heaping helping of tracks, including one intriguing addition.

As of right now, there are 13 tracks being worked on. These include:

I'll Never Look For You Again
Make It In The City
Venango County
CIA Operative
Insult to Injury
Six-String Highway
Look Me Up Sometime

and...

Maria

Maria?

Yes. You may remember this as a live track that was up for consideration on Primrose, and also known as the prequel to Crosstown.

Upset that your favorite live track isn't listed? Don't sweat. There are other tracks that will make up the 13 or so on the album. Called My Name wasn't mentioned, but I'd bet dollars to donuts (whatever that means) that it'll be included.

Speaking of live tracks, remember to show up at the Wealthy Theater this coming Saturday, September 19 to see the band perform live. This is also a good time to be a fan on the other side of the state, as the band will be playing a string of shows in Ypsilanti and Detroit.

News!

The Incident at Primrose and West will be released November 20 on vinyl, cd, and digital download on Friction Records. The Intersection front room will be the site of the album release show, also November 20.

As far as I know, the album is completely completed. It has been mixed and mastered, and I've heard that one new album track will be featured on a Friction compilation. No idea when or where, but I'll update when it becomes available.

In other news, tracking begins today on The Letter 11, which is the album of full-band versions of early Chance Jones tracks. Bol was optimistic that they would have demo versions of the entire album complete tonight, and the recording process should move fairly quickly. He also had no idea how this would be released, if Friction would have a hand in it, or if it would be a self-release. He also didn't have any specific track names, but I would speculate that all your favorite live tracks will end up on it. I tried to suggest Carolina Breeze be included as well since it is so different that the album version. That doesn't seem likely. How about as an online exclusive?

Finally, I was able to videotape the Founders show last month, and I was able to capture soundboard audio. I'm planning to add some songs from that to the YouTube account when time permits. The soundboard audio is pretty sharp.

Primrose Update

Bol checked in earlier this week to say that the band has set Friday, July 31 as the wrap date for The Incident at Primrose and West. Still don't have any information regarding a tracklist, other than "Nobody's Baby" will definitely be on the album in it's Otis Redding form. Also, no idea when the album will be released, although I was excited to see it mentioned in a flier that Friction released on Facebook earlier this week. From the flier, you can see that there will be a vinyl, cd, and digital release of the album.

New Dates!

The band has added a bunch of new dates for August and September.

* August 1, Coat of Many Colors Street Party
* August 8, Founders Brewery, Grand Rapids, MI
* September 11, Mulligan's, Eastown, Grand Rapids, MI
* September 19, Wealthy Theater, Grand Rapids, MI
* September 23, Elbow Room, Ypsilanti, MI
* September 24, The Lager House, Detroit, MI

I would expect a few more dates will fill in the edges, as none of these dates are listed as a record release show for The Incident at Primrose and West.

www.chancejones.com

Good news! The official website is back online, and it's looking great. There is a lot of great info, pics, tunes, videos, and news there that you should check out right now. I won't steal their thunder, so get over there RIGHT NOW!

"Title Cut"

Just Relax Flotation comes through again with a stellar vid of "Venango County."

Jammies Video

Nobody's Baby


Crosstown


Kitty Hijinks

So...

Yeah.

Been kinda delinquent in updating the site. The bad news is that it was caused by some job related stress and worries. The good news is that those days of stress may be behind me.

My apologies to those of you who noticed that the site was hibernating for a few months.

But I do have some good news.

First of all, the band is playing this week at Founders Fest. They're scheduled to go on about 7, but come hang out all day at the fest. There are a ton of great bands scheduled to go on. Plus, it'll be a great chance to hear some of the old favorites before the newer material takes over the setlists.

Second, the album, titled The Incident at Primrose and West is nearly complete. While I've still yet to hear anything official from the album, Bol has told me that the album is about 40 minutes long, "blows away" The Angels Share, and will NOT feature the live staple "My Sunshine" or the "Crosstown" prequel, "Maria." There have been discussions about releasing an EP of tracks that don't fit the vibe of Primrose but nothing is official. My wish? (And this is purely my wish) An EP of the two tracks above, plus a full band recording of "Venango County" and "Carolina Breeze." Heck, I'd even settle for live soundboard recordings of those tracks.

What is on the album? "Nobody's Baby" is still there, but according to Bol, it sounds like "Otis Redding go-go dancers" would dance to it. I have no way to interpret that statement. Other working titles for songs on the album right now include "Love's Still Wild" and "My Machine."

Finally, don't stop believing.

Bad stuff happens in life, but if you work through it, have a vision, and don't compromise yourself, good things will happen. DON'T STOP BELIEVING!

End pep talk.

See you Saturday!

03/07/2009 Founders, Grand Rapids, MI

03/07/2009 Founders, Grand Rapids, MI
Setlist (draft):

Insult to Injury
Natalie
CIA Operative
Carolina Breeze
Nobody's Baby
My Sunshine
Six String Highway
Kitty Hijinks

Great night by the band, with a re-worked version of My Sunshine, compared to the last time I heard it this past fall. High energy, great crowd, pretty good sound. Tough night to tape, but I think it's a good problem when there are a lot of people in the crowd there in your way.

Show TONIGHT @ Founders!

Come out tonight to Founders for the Nathan Kalish and the Wildfire cd release party. Chance Jones will go on at 11, with Nathan Kalish to go on at 12. Julio Gomez, guitarist for the Wildfire, will play an acoustic set at 9, and Night Toucher will play at 10.

Jammies X

BEST CONTEMPORARY ALBUM!

Bol just called to say that the band won BEST CONTEMPORARY ALBUM! Congrats!

Setlist:
Crosstown
Kitty Hijinks
Nobody's Baby

Just before the band went on, they lost Local Song of the Year. There is still another major award for the night, and that is People's Choice Award. Let's see how it turns out. I should have an update this week with the Nobody's Baby performance.

Also...apparently the new album has a name...something in the primrose. I missed it, being so shocked to hear it has a title. I'll get that info up later in the week as well.

Intersection Flashback: May 2007

Since the band is playing the Jammies X at the Intersection tonight, here's a few flashback videos of some performances from May 2007, including one very notable performance with Daniel Johnston.



Crosstown and CIA Operative

Jammies X Tonight!

The band will be performing at Jammies X tonight at the Intersection, with a 9:20 stage time. They will be performing just before the announcement of Best Local Song, which "Kitty Hijinks" was nominated for. Did I mention that admission was free? And that the Intersection would go smoke-free for tonight only? Also performing are Hawks and Owls String Band, Nathan Kalish and the Wildfire, and The Mighty Narwhale, among many, many others. It's a great night for local music, and it's FREE.

Band Update

A few random points:

• "Maria" was not played at Billy's last month
• The band continues to work on the album
• Today the band will take some promotional photos for the press packet, if I can I'll try and get a few shots posted here
• I've been invited in to interview the band during a Sunday recording date, hopefully next Sunday
• The Jammies are a week from Tuesday at the Intersection
• The album cover will have a "James Dean" style vibe to it
  

Reminder: Billy's Tonight!

January, 28
Last show before the Jammies next month.

UPDATE: Bol mentioned that "Maria," the Crosstown prequel song, may be debuted tonight.

New Album Update

Bol checked in last night to give an update and had a lot of good stuff to report.

First of all, the band has finished recording demos for the album, and is actively recording all of their parts of the album. Bol said that there were three separate days last week that band members dropped by to lay down their parts, including another session last night at Dex's basement studio.

Bol also noted the names of four songs, Nobody's Baby, My Sunshine, My Machine, and Maria, which is the prequel to Crosstown. Many of the songs only have working titles and nothing is finished or mixed yet.

Good stuff.

Catch the band at the Jammies next month, as they take a break from performing to focus on recording the album.

Here's the band performing My Sunshine at Founder's in October.

A Winter's Tune on YouTube

Chance performing his original Christmas tune from last months show.

New March Shows Added

Bol just checked in with a killer Pot Roast and Noddles recipe, plus 3 new shows in March.

March 7th at Founders (Nathan Kalish and the Wildfire cd release)
March 12th at Hopcat
March 22nd at Dog Story Theater

This is in addition to the upcoming show this month that was announced earlier.

January 28th with Lazy Genius at Billy's Lounge

The Recipe:
first brown the meat

get two cans of cambells french onion soup

add the cans and meat to the crock pot

add one can full of water

let it cook for like 6 hours

it can go longer too before the last hour a

add the potatos

and carrots
Temp is on High

after the carrots and tates are good

take the meat out and cook the noodles in the crock pot
takes about 10 minutes for the noodles

The Letter 11

Bol just reported that this is just an idea at this point. I'm assuming that this means no work has been done on it, and nothing is planned.

Here's hoping it comes to pass, but I wouldn't hold your breath for it.

Billy's Lounge, January 28

The full band will be playing at Billy's Lounge on Wednesday, January 28. The cost is $3, and this is a 21+ show. Billy's website says 9:30-1:30, but I doubt it will be a four hour show.

We'll see what we can do in the new year about setlists and post show updates. If I were attending each show it wouldn't be a problem, but I don't think I'll make it to this one.

Happy New Year, 2009

Sorry for the lack of updates, but we'll plunge into the new year with a renewed vigor. I will not use the birth of my daughter, Lilly, as an excuse for not writing in December.

Since we last spoke, Chance played at A Winter's Tune, to high regard. I haven't heard if the Chance selections will be made available for mp3 download, but I'll have a link should it happen. The full band united for a show at Billy's and a show at Founders. The Founders show featured 6 new songs, and sounded pretty good according to Bol.

The band continues to track new material and songs for the upcoming release of Friction. Apparently Friction has some new things happening that could prove beneficial to the band. I don't know how that will play out, but it could be interesting. "Spring" is what I'm hearing for a finished album, as yet untitled. I think the plan right now is to track as many demos as possible, then bring the finished demos into the studio to cut quickly for release. The "Letter 11" album of reworked solo songs is on the back burner, as far as I know. The older songs might be cut right along with the new album, since they don't require any, or much, demo tracking because of how long the band has played them live.

While there aren't any new shows coming up soon, I imagine that the band will be performing at the Jammies next month. Look for an update on that as soon as I get confirmation.

Summer looks like it will be a good time to catch the band on tour.

All in all, the first half of 2009 should be a great time to follow the band. New songs, new album, the Jammies, summer tour. Good stuff all around, hopefully.

Medium Fidelity Best of 2008

Check out Troy Reimink's Medium Fidelity blog where he asks local West Michigan folks for their best albums of 2008. Chance (Josh) was asked for his favorites of the year, as was Herm Baker of Vertigo Music. If you aren't buying your music from Herm, I don't know what to tell you. Please support Vertigo. If they don't have it on their shelves, they can order it for you, usually for a better price than you would find online. He also has the best selection of local music, including The Angel's Share, Daisy May & Seth Bernard, The Mighty Narwhale, LSDudes, Breathe Owl Breathe, and once upon a time, Zoozersadd.

Kevin Murphy, station manager of WYCE, had The Angel's Share listed in his top 10.

For posterity, here's Chance's top ten:

Josh Burge (aka Chance Jones) -- singer, Chance Jones

• Adam Green, "Sixes and Sevens"
• Raphael Saadiq, "The Way I see It"
• Vampire Weekend, "Vampire Weekend"
• Pet the Warrior, "The Murray"
• The Mighty Narwhale, "A Ship Without A Country, A Mast Without A Sail"
• Beck, "Modern Guilt"
• Silver Jews, "Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea"
• Tim Fite, "Fair Ain't Fair"
• The Fireman, "Electric Arguments"
• Deerhunter, "Microcastles"

Jammies X

The 10th annual Jammie awards from WYCE will be held at the Intersection on February 17. Bol reports to me that the band are up for quite a few awards, including "Kitty Hijinks" for song of the year, and The Angel's Share for album of the year. There is also a people's choice vote for local album of the year, and The Angel's Share is nominated there as well. Click here to stuff the ballot! As always, call in to WYCE to request the band. Wednesday afternoon I caught "Crosstown" in a best of 2008 show. Call in the studio at (616) 742-9923.
