you forgot the swing nites @ the viper room!! i used to confuse dean miller

el> an acid-jazz connection?).

if i have my history right, jump w/joey is the band that birthed the 'sonics

& butterflow. brass used to happen at the king king (now dizzy debbie's)
the
same club where joey's band had a residency.
