Set list:
All You've Got (Chance & Dex)
To promote the Plug It Up! Benefit at Billy's on Sunday, July 11, Chance and Dex appeared on WOOD TV-8's morning program eightWest. I recorded their live video stream, but it doesn't look like it worked. I'm hoping there will be an upload from WOOD later today.
UPDATE: WOOD TV 8 just uploaded their video!

My Machine was on the set list, but was not played. Didn't make it down to the show, but old Bueford was able to shoot me a pic of the set list. Bol said that the show went really well and was very well run, but that it was pretty hot. The band would definitely come again next year!

Founders, June 26, 2010
Set list:
Didn't Take Long
Insult to Injury
All You've Got
Look Me Up Sometime
The One That Got Away
Kitty Hijinks
Venango County
Crosstown
When You Were Mine
My Machine
Carolina Breeze
Love's Alright
All Again
Big night of music at Founders, as Charles the Osprey released their album Consider. In addition to that, Ozenza and Noblesville also performed. Gotta say that Didn't Take Long is growing and changing before our eyes, as the band hones in a new track. It just sounds better and better each time they play it. When You Were Mine made another super-fun appearance. The sound at Founders can be hit or miss, but tonight it was on for their set. I stood at the back at the merch stand for the set, and it was as good a mix as I've heard at Founders. Great as well to see Outo Bol come out as a never nude.

Check this out with some of the Chance Jones folks playing backup. Too sweet!

Mulligan's Pub, Grand Rapids, June 18
Set list:
Bo Diddley (soundcheck tease)
Insult to Injury
Nobody's Baby
Kitty Hijinks
My Machine
When You Were Mine
Crosstown
All You've Got
The One That Got Away
Look Me Up Sometime
Didn't Take Long

Giant Bee Sting (encore)
For as hot and humid as it was yesterday, Mulligan's was pretty comfortable. Yeah, it was warm in the back room where the show was, but not unbearably hot. Think about that next time you're worried about a show after a hot day.
I wouldn't count Bo Diddley as an actual band song or cover, just some messing around while setting up. Giant Bee Sting, however, was an actual encore. I'm kinda like a "Johnny-come-lately" with the band, as they formed and developed for nearly 2 years before I started the blog and became a die hard. But I don't ever remember an honest-to-goodness encore where the audience called them back for more. I've seen the audience try to get them to come back, but because of circumstances beyond their control they couldn't. So how was it? Seriously, Giant Bee Sting was blistering. It was a rawk moment.

Prospecto Music Showcase and Sonic Experience
Well, I teased it in my last post on upcoming live shows, and here it is. The Prospecto Music Showcase and Sonic Experience is coming to Grand Rapids September 23-25. This is a multiple venue, multiple act event in Grand Rapids featuring many of your favorite acts, including Chance Jones (presumably one of your favorite acts...)
Preliminary indications have CJ opening for The Presidents of the United States of America on Saturday, September 24, but I don't know if that is carved in stone yet. I'm not sure of a venue, either, but you know where to look when that information becomes available. My guess would be the Intersection if it holds that they open for tPOTUSA.

New Album Update: The Portland Sessions
Well, Chance gave me the skinny on the Portland Sessions from back in April. Here are the facts, Jack.
Track list:
Track list:
All For Maria
I’m Your Fool
Here It From Me*
Didn’t Take Long*
Baby Don’t Be Leaving So Soon*
This Town*
Monkey See, Monkey Do*
Vacation Clothes*
Of these 8 tracks, reference mixes were made for the six with asterisks in late April. You might notice some older track names on there, including the often spoken of All For Maria, This Town, and Baby Don't Be Leaving So Soon. Didn't Take Long debuted last month as a full band live track, and is kind of becoming a regular. This Town was on the first Chance Jones album (2003), and while I've never heard it, Bol says that Monkey See, Monkey Do is one from the olden days. Chance is the only member of the band to perform on the demos, while a set of session musicians helped to round out the sound.
What's next? Well, the producer of these tracks will be coming to town next month to work with the band on another round of demos, and Chance says that the next set will be another new batch of tracks. Meanwhile, the band is continuing to add their own majestic magical powers to the demos and give it that "Chance Jones" sound that we all know and love. Still too early to talk about release dates and labels, although "2011" is the current best estimate. Those of you "Letter 11" true believers, hold on. It's still in the works, as are a few other releases.
New Live Dates
A host of new live dates have been scheduled for the summer. Check it out:
The Plug It Up! Benefit at Billy's will be July 11. There are a ton of great bands who are going to be there, like:
SuperDre
La Famiglia
Juleus
AB & Coconut Brown
Gray Theory
Nathan Kalish and the Wildfire
Cain Marko
The Fainting Generals
Head
Pretty good, right? I mean, how can you not go? Plus it benefits the restoration of marine life in the Gulf coast affected by the oil spill. Glad to see that local artists are taking action to help out and raise funds. Come join and help out by rocking out.
Next up, is the Frederik Meijer Gardens Show August 17 with the Fainting Generals. Thanks to Ralston Bowles and the Tuesday Night Music Club for helping to put this on.
Finally, September 11 will be the Bars of Gold album release party at Founders. This is a Friction Records release, and the mighty Ghost Heart will also be performing at this show.
There are whispers of a larger show coming in September, but that's not for me to confirm or deny at this point. Should be fun if it comes together, though!
