George was the wisest of the Beatles, but isn’t it a pity.
Com Jr. is no longer:
Graham has moved on and joined other music projects.
Thanks to everyone for all the support and love, it was never overlooked.
This site will be no longer 4/1/2014.
As we explore our new setup and sounds, we had some fun in the studio covering Pied Piper. We enjoy the Rita Marley version from the Club Ska ’67 album, but thought it could use a little more Space Echo…
Coming up upon a grand-slam DJ weekend. Join us for one set or do the whole darn thing. We are going to be:
Starting at the Legionnaire Saloon on Thursday (8/22) for our regular 5-9:30ish Down Home Set.
Resting, re-filing on Friday for an action packed:
Saturday 12-4:30 at Gunlach Bundschu Winery in Sonoma. Spinning mellow melodies for their courtyard tasting. Then we are driving on down to the Missouri Lounge in Berkeley for our Saturday happy hour slot 6-10
Sunday Brunch/Drink at Lazlo Bar in San Francisco. We are subbing in for DJ Don’t Tell Mom‘s regular spot at the We Do This Every Sunday. This will be the marathon 11-7 shift. Expect some extended jams.
For the past 2 months we’ve been re-vamping our live show. Working away from the backing-track based approach, to a fluid mix of live, samples and loops. It’s been a bit of a learning curve with Graham switching to drums and Shanna picking up the bass, but we love the challenge.
Today we worked with some live tracks we recorded, put them in Ableton, located an Arturia synth sound (on the Mini V Moog synthesizer), and then used Graham’s Boss Dr. Sampler to record the track we created. With this sampler we will now be able to add the synth-sonic elements we want in a semi-live state.
Com Jr. is settling in for summer with 2 weekly Happy Hour residences.
Every Thursday at The Legionnaire Saloon and every Saturday at Gundlach Bundschu Winery.
In other news, Graham made a song for his Niece’s 6th birthday, check the video:
So happy to be able to to continue to rock a country-soul-funk happy hour from 4:30-the next dj shows up. Thank you Legionnaire Saloon.
