October 20, 2007
After almost 4 years, The Motherjumpers have decided to call it a day. We've broken up. Sometimes things were good, sometimes not so good, but one thing was always contast; we fuckin' rocked.
We made some pretty good music in this time, had good laughs, released a nice CD, and met alotta cool people. We played some of NYC's better music venues and drank alotta booze.
So, on November 1st 2007, won't you come join us as we celebrate the time we spent together at our final show?
If you've never seen us play, well, this is your chance. If you have, come out and get your socks rocked off one last time.
There are other great bands on that night, so come early (first act is at 7:30pm SHARP! We're on at 9:30pm sharp.) Takenobu, Black Pig, EdibleRed, and Next Tribe will be there to dance our "last waltz" with us.
We really hope you can be there.
Thank you all for your support over the last few years. It meant alot. We'll see you all on November 1st...
-Tommy, Chuck, Michael, Paul, & Christian.

After the bands, there will be more music, and the party continues through the night, with a DJ, drink specials, and all around good times. We really hope you can make it.

OCTOBER 15, 2006
Hey folks, here's some current Motherjumpers' news for late-October and November! Here goes...
We're currently looking into playing Philly.
More details on that when they come...
We've also been making some connections and getting our CD out to some area college radio stations; NYU, Baruch, College Of Staten Island, and a few others. So, if you're so inclined, call up these stations' DJs and request they play THE MOTHERJUMPERS! Word of mouth is the best advertisement.
The recording of our next CD is going really well. With our lead guitarist PAUL "PAULIE PORKCHOPS" WEISS at the helm, manning the recording console, things are sounding really great!!! On Columbus Day, Paul tracked lead guitars for three songs, on top of the already recorded guitars of Christian and Tommy (and of course the uber-fantastic rythym section of Chuck and Michael, who laid down the foundation of rock we'll be building our rock'n'roll monolith on!) News to come...
Can you say "Motherjumpers T-shirts"?!? We hope so! Keep your eyes peeled...
And last but not least, we have a show booked for NOVEMBER. The MJs will be rockin' hell out of the stage at ARLENE'S GROCERY. We played there back in March to a PACKED HOUSE!... and it sounded AMAZING! This return gig at Arlene's should be no different. We hope you can make it down, as you guys are a HUGE part of our shows. Sincerely. We'll have new songs, too. Come hear and see...
Well, that's about it for now, Jumpers. Keep checking back here, and at our Myspace page, for up-to-date news on our goings ons. (Is that proper English? Whatever!)
See ya November 17th...
