I am Entertainment

Hey we just got a review published in I am Entertainment Magazine.  Even though we got a fairly low score (2.5/4) the review is complementary:

"The best way to describe these guys is AWESOME!! I'd pay top dollar to see them live in concert."

See that's pretty sweet but they also said that we were

"...an interesting cross between Marley,  Limp Bizkit, and Weird Al Yankovik."

Limp Bizkit?!?  Oh, that's the worst thing I've heard us compared to.  How disappointing.  Limp Bizkit is from Jacksonville (where I grew up) and is regarded there as a source of never ending shame and humiliation for the River City.  Besides Ace of Bass it would be harder to find a comparison that is more personally insulting to me.  I, however, assume that insulting me was not the author's intention so I am going to let it slide, especially since the rest of the article was so nice.  Go give it a read for yourself.

By the way IAE Magazine is pretty cool so you go ahead and check out the other thing they have going on.

While I Was Away

Hey, I was pretty busy last month getting ready for and going sailing in the British Virgin Islands (I know you're jealous) and I forgot to post up this interview that I did with Junior's Cave.  It's a pretty fun interview and it opens with this kind description of the band:

"Our Webzine’s newest interview comes from the indie ska band Johnny Cakes and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypso who is managing to create beautiful music that combines elements of different genres into one fantastic sound. In this special spotlight, we learn about the band’s origin, their major influences, and what fans can expect from them in the near future. "

It's a pretty good interview so I suggest you give it a read here.  The interview has some pretty good questions like the one about my fantasy band line up.  I'm happy to report that we have actually made some of  my dream line up come true since the time of this interview (Tuba) and we might be closer than you think to getting a cannon!

Speaking of interview questions we are in the middle of adding a FAQ to the Johnny Cakes website.  So, if you have any questions please send them over to guttercalypso@gmail.com.  Do your best to keep it classy.

Also, on July 4th we were featured on the Podcast Red Red Wine on a Sunday for episode # 37 which is all about great American bands.  For some reason they decided to feature us.  I guess we qualify we are located in America and I think most of us are actually Americans (except for Skippy who is a resident of Antarctica, James who is an illegal immigrant taking American bongo players jobs, and our bass player Zombie Burnsides who is legally deceased.)  Maybe they had one song left to fill and decided to throw on a song about butts!  Thanks Red Red Wine on a Sunday!

Anyways we have a lot more coming up, so keep checking back and come out to some shows!
