News/Notes from 7/16/06

T-Bones Chaos

On Saturday night, Oz and Jaynes once again invaded T-Bones in Chattanooga for a show that broke a record for "Longest Set Played" in the history of Oz and Jaynes.

The first set lasted for an estimated 3 hours and 20 minutes. Oz and Jaynes were both exhausted at the break point, but still returned for a 45 minute encore to end the show. The crowd packed the dance floor early, probably brought on by the keg stands in the back room, as well as the celebration of Charley's 30th and Anna's 28th birthdays.

Oz and Jaynes want to thank T-Bones for putting up with them; they also want to thank the countless amount of people that come to hear them play, time after time. The show at T-Bones on 7/15/06 will definitely be one to remember ( and one that some people definitely won't remember).

Vyvyan Officially Retired

Jaynes' long time trusty guitar "Vyvyan" was officially retired from live performances after 7 years of hard jamming and torture in Oz and Jaynes shows as well as other performances. Jaynes broke in a new Martin guitar this past Saturday night at T-Bones. How long it will last is another story.

Read Vyvyan's bio below, and look for pictures of her soon to be posted.

Upcoming Events
