Hawt As Hell

Hawt As Hell

Once again I had the great privelidge of dancing the night away to the tasty sounds of Bogart Jones. That in it’s self makes for a fantastic night, right?

Now, toss in the fact that it was Jamie’s  (Crossroads) birthday, my birthday and a friend of ours’ birthday and you got yourself quite a whollup of good time!

There is no place I’d rather celebrate my birthday than at Crossroads surrounded by great friends, making new great friends and listening to the likes of Bogart Jones.

It’s a girl’s dream come true, really.

These guys amaze me. Their talent is through the roof and their song choices keep the crowd pumped and going all night long from the first song of the set on to the last song of the night. Folks just don’t want to sit down and listen. That would be nearly blasphemous. You almost have to get up on your feet in order to show the guys the respect that they deserve when it comes to their music! This ain’t no toe tappin’ hummin’ along kind of band ladies and gentlemen. This is a bust out your rump shaker kind of band.

I have seen bands who are phenomenal like this in the talent department, but they all are lacking in comparision. The very thing that makes Bogart Jones one of the best of the best is that they aren’t too good to interact with the audience. They bring the fans into the  performance, into the show as though we were all intimate friends just hanging out in someone’s garage having a jam session and a few beers.  They just happen to be a rock band and we all just happen to be their groupies.

They are very talented performers in what they do, however, my favorite is when they play their own stuff. Their own tunes are ten times better than any cover that they can muster (which are awesome mind you) and the more I listen the more I like them. I have put a playlist of their original music over there in the side bar. I highly recommend you checking out their songs. Find them on ReverbNation. Become a fan. Support them in all arenas. Find them on Myspace. What I’d really like to see from these guys now is some swag. Even maybe a shirt just for me. You know. I can cut it up and wear it to the next show. Whaddya say boys? Who is against free advertisement?

Maybe next time Wes takes his shirt off, he can just toss it my direction? That would work too.  I won’t be a t-shirt snob.

If you haven’t seen/heard their eargasm-ness yet, you must, MUST, go see a show. There are no excuses as I have posted their very schedule here for the ease of your perusal. All you have to do is pick a time and a place and get your ass there. Not hard, right?

No excuses. I want to see y’all there.
