The JUKES are HERE! or THERE! or whatever.


Never since that evil dawn when the Vikings landed on Foulmouth-Mary-by-the-Lindesfarnecastle-on-the-Portzebie-on-Tyre-on-Tuesday-Last has such sheer ennui gripped the British population such as it is. Not since the wolf-skin clad Eric the Rank kicked the blue-genital painted Celts, or kelts, ur...um...kilties? Oh the hell with it. I mean, how seriously can you take a culture that paints their privates a nice shade of aquamarine, I ask you.

Anyway, back to the business at hand. Yes, we Jukes will be playing our little songs and joking and laughing and carrying on disgustingly on your fair shores just as if everything was peachy and all was right with the world. Well, IT ISN'T, CHUM!

All right, just for starters, there's that little business of your "Prince of Wails" and his, oh please "consort"...nudge, nudge, wink, wink, comin' over here and eatin' all the good grub and tying up traffic while us peasants starve in the streets. It's just not on. Can't you keep that "heir apparent" on a short leash. I mean, I know your sick of him, but why fob him AND her off on us? After all, if it weren't for my father and uncle in WWII, you'd all be eating spetzle and sauerkraut, which is what his family was raised on, as you well know. Oh, Di, wither hast thou gone????

Ahem.

We will be toting in our kitsacks a brandy new CD jes' chock fulla NEW Jukes excrescence and drivel. And you, my mushy-pea eating friends will have it BEFORE THE BLOODY YANKS!!! Ah..hahahahahahahhahaha!!!! At last, you limeys will be able to lord it over the overfed, under-brained Ahmurkans whom (Oh, John, stop) have had it all their way for farrrr to long. Vote for Bush and see what ya get. So there.

We will also be bringing a coupla new cats to abuse and defile. Bobby and Jeff, also known as "The Traitors" will be on tour with Wayne Newton, and can't seem to remember any of our names or phone numbers. One can only hope that they meet up with Zeigfried and Roy's tiger when they play Las Vegas. Snarrrlll. The effervescent Ricki Byrd (not his real name) will be on guitar and vocals and shine, and the incredibly young Bobby Lynch will bring his keyboard skills, his great voice and his huge peni...well, it's all a-gonna be awright. Trust me on this. Have I ever lied to you? Don't answer that, Mike. Bastard druids. They never forget anything. Since Stonehenge. And after all that beer, too. Go figure.

The usual cast of idiots and malcontents will be along. Eddie "Kingfish" Manion, our stalwart navy man. Back, girls, back. Must be the uniform. Chris Andersen, who, once again, did yeoman's work on the horn charts on the new CD. Joey "the Healer" Stann, on tenor and crystal. No black raiment, though. Another relatively new dude, Neil Pauley, on trombone, who just had a babychildkid. And, boy, are his arms tired! True Juke that he is, he leaves when the brat is only 6 days old. My man! Bass will be booted by Muddy. He has a kid, too, but the ugliest child you have ever seen! I hate her. Awwwwwwww. Just kidding, Bailey.
Joe Bellia will be behind the drum kit...watching the new drummer...nononononono, also just kidding, Joe. (Never insult the guy who sits behind you.) The unstoppable Hood will bring enough peanut butter and white bread for everyone. Just help him occasionally with the GRASS on his lawn and he'll still yell at ya if ya screw up. He does with me. Lots. Joe Prinzo. The Jersey Dude. He will ooze cool and forget to turn up Joey's solo on purpose if Joey keeps bugging him.

Did you ever notice that we have a lot of Joes in this aggregation? Why is that. The best answer gets dinner with me and you also win the fabulous prize of picking up the check. I choose the wine. And that dread-locked stud, Sean, will be lurking behind the scenes, waiting to pounce on some unsuspecting young thing, gender no object. Do NOT put him on the same floor as me, Hood. I needs ma sleep.

Well, that's the story, folks. We have other projects in the works, which will be revealed when the time is ripe. As ripe as my socks.

See you in my dreams. Southside
