It was a good run. It was fun. But time to hang things on up - and get Time Spent Driving back together.

Yeah, we're going to call it quits on the whole GOJ thing - it was fun, we played some cool shows, made a good record, made some good new friends. But we parted ways with our 2nd vocalist/guitar player Pete a while back, and well, you know how it is.

The good news is - We're reforming Time Spent Driving (Jon & Kem of GOJ's former band which broke up in around 2003) - and we're going to start playing some shows again and writing a new record to kick of 2012! We're even going to play some Gentlemen songs still here and there - why not right?

GO TO TIMESPENTDRIVING.COM for more details.

I'm sure most of you are pretty happy about that, so here are all of the relevant TSD links and pages so you can help spread the word and do your thing:

Also Pete Johnson, the 2nd signer/guitarist/songwriter for GOJ also has a new project in the works - and word is it will be up and running full force soon - so we'll let you know about that when the time comes.

THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT!         

Good Night.

The Most Important News You've Read in Quite Some Time.

We've been neglecting you lately as far as the much sought-after GOJ news updates are concerned. With over 80,000 unique visitors to our site a month, we figured we better get back to a few updates here and there to keep those visitors happy.

Shows:
We've got one coming up on Sat. July 16th at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz. We are playing last because the biggest most hugest bands headline, and that's us. The Huxtables and The Here are also playing and it'll be an ideal time for you to come out, wet your whistle, hang out, and pretend you like going out to shows at night.

Want us to play some more shows? Let us know and we'll think about it.

Recording:
Here's our new plan. We're going to start recording a few songs at a time, to try and capture those masterpieces while they're fresh out of the oven. Then when we build up a good chunk of songs, we're going to go back and put some frosting on them, then lick our fingers, and put them in the pastry case so you can see how pretty they look. And hopefully, you will order one with your morning cup of coffee and be all pumped out of your mind.

Sound good?

Well, if so, then you're in luck, because said recording starts today on 2 or 3 songs, which is going down at the Compound as usual.
