All the Rock Revolution details YOU need to know!

We know that you, like us, are a bit depressed that we have to wait over 6 weeks until the beginning of NFL training camps. So it's either immerse ourselves in Danica Patrick hissy fit videos on YouTube or play a huge show at the Queen Mary with Unwritten Law, Zebrahead and like 400 more bands to pass the time. After much soul searching and heated deliberation, we chose the latter.

This Saturday you can be part of our well oiled pit crew as we take STAGE 3 (the big stage right in front of the boat - er, ship) right around 3:00. Tickets are only $20 ($32 from Ticketmaster) and yes, we've got 'em for you right now - call our Hotline right now @ (714) 595-4430 to reserve yours. The event opens at 11 am and there will be constant rocking AND rolling until midnight.

All the info you'll ever need is right here http://www.socalrockrevolution.com

We'll be filiming the whole event so come hang around us so you can get into our new video. There's even talk of some wacky after hours party that'll feature Carp splashing around nude in a kiddie pool for your enjoyment. Bring your goggles.

So holla at your homies and we'll hook you up like Jermaine Dupree. That's gotta be good, right

We've got a great show this weekend and oh yeah my car got totalled

It was just a few weeks ago, as I was sent spinning in my freshly mauled SUV across the median of a large intersection, the result of a crazed drunken Korean club kid (yeah, they actually make those) blazing through a red light at over 70 mph, when I started thinking - "Man, I can't wait to give our fans what they really want - a muy caliente Cinco De Mayo musical fiesta in Thousand Oaks!"
So after both my airbags deployed and I had stumbled from my smoking wreck to pee on the nearest lawn, I realized there would also be tons of neat carnival fun (including games, treats and more!) at the Canejo Valley Days festival that you and your loved ones will enjoy and hopefully remember forever.
And of course during my treatment in the emergency ward the next morning I couldn't help but sigh in relief that admission to the festival would be extremely reasonable and the new entertainment venue "The Hang" a great area for you to enjoy our sexy rock and roll musings in maximum comfort.
But it really wasn't until I starting hassling day and night with my insurance company that I fully realized how happy I'll be to see some of your wonderful faces in person dancing to your favorite jams. Because Lord knows, if it had been a crazed drunken German club kid who ran that light, I wouldn't be here today to tell my story.
Ernstlich, vielen Dank für alle Ihre freundlichen Gedanken und Liebe!

Drunk Driver tries to take out a CJ member BUT FAILS! (Post from April 15, 2007)

We'd like to thank all of you who came out last night to 14 Below in Santa Monica to show Conjob some love.

While we had a really great time; unfortunately the night took a sort of sobering turn on our way home last night.

Last night, our faithful leader....and drummer...and sometimes dance instructor...KB (Kevin), was hit by a drunk driver on his way home and was involved in a pretty serious car accident.

Little did we know while we were saying our good-bye's last night while giving each other high-fives and slaps on the ass that one of our members wouldn't make it home safely. (I'm sure KB now wishes he had been part of the Conjob Slumber Party at Vickie's last night!).

You should know KB is going to be ok. He is alive, conscious and still has his sense of humor, which unfortunately, is still not very funny! As I write this, KB is at the hospital being cared for and we are waiting for word to hear the extent of the damage done, which hopefully won't be more than a big bump on his even bigger head!

With that said, Conjob's scheduled show for tomorrow night (Saturday, 4/14/07) at Gallagher's in Huntington Beach is cancelled (Thrill Deluxe is still going to rock the house so it'll still be a great night, so still go and have a drink in KB's honor). We are hoping to be able to keep the rest of our gig schedule as is listed. We will keep you updated on that so be sure to keep checking in.

Today, we are thankful for 3 things:

1) KB IS ALIVE AND KICKIN'....even if he's a bit beat up, he's here with us and we couldn't be more grateful.

2) Our pretty Belinda (KB's regular carpool partner) was NOT in the car and is safe and sound and still as pretty as ever!

3) KB's beautiful new drum kit is safe and sound as well, even if his car is completely gone! (Which really, is a good thing...Carp can always use another sell!)

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR SUPPORTING CONJOB. AND PLEASE STOP BY AND LEAVE A WARM & FUZZY "GET WELL SOON" MESSAGE FOR KB.....

Until then...
Everybody...BE COOL....
And please...don't drink and drive...

Sincerely,
Conjob

LIVE SHOTS FROM THE SEAL BEACH GALLERY OPENING!

Ever been to an awesome party with tons of cool rock & roll art, a wacky old dude doing interpretive locking and popping to every song in CONJOB's set and all you can pound energy drinks and vodka served by the lovely Daredevil girls? Oh ... you have? But c'mon, that last one totally sucked!

Well, thankfully for you, this one was way better and we have the pictures (snapped by the lovely Belinda Orozco) to prove it. Enjoy and stop telling everyone we've never done anything nice for you.

So here's Zha straight freaking. This is right before she did a backflip through that stucco wall behind her. Swear.



Sorry, Carp got in the way of this hot and steamy shot. It's like, "damn, fool - you best recognize!" But seriously, that's just a few bucks short of a million dollar smile. If music somehow doesn't work out, he'd have a great career in car sales.


So DJ had to be out of town and we were lucky enough to sucker Mr. Harlis Sweetwater from the one and only Thrill Deluxe into filling in. Unfortunately, he and Carp spent 45 minutes tuning up. Eventually the rest of us just smiled and started playing the bossa nova.

This, of course, is Kevin. Man, he's good. Seriously, look at those eyes. All that muscle under his shirt. Can't even imagine what he benches. Not many bad boys like him still love their mom AND abused puppies. Wow.


Here's lil Vick. She just got a new keyboard and now she never leaves the house. The men of Santa Monica don't know what hit them. They eat and drink but they don't .. LIVE anymore. Buy her an ice cream cone at the next show and she'll tell you all about the death of her car. It'll be the worst 20 minutes of your life.


Bux getting up your face. Dig it, cuz!

And with that, we wave goodbye. But before we go, are you sure you're done looking at the picture of our drummer Kevin? I mean really, can you only gaze upon the Statue of David just once? Didn't think so.

CONJOB now sponsored by Daredevil Energy Drink

We're proud to officially introduce our new sponsor to the world and the dark, thirsty parts of the galaxy - Daredevil. We've tried it, love it, and have stayed up for the last 16 consecutive days since we started drinking it. Our stage show is starting to resemble something out of an old Three Stooges flick.

Seriously we couldn't be happier to be partnering with such a great new company and are looking forward to a bright and happy future together. Keep your eye out for us playing at upcoming Daredevil sponsored events, and be sure to check out their site.





Gotta run. We've got to finish a can and complete a triathalon before pratice.

Get your discount tickets to the Rock Revolution today!

We know how you've been suffering the past couple of weeks without your CONJOB - sleepless nights, long rambling poems to lost loves and a strong desire to lick firewood. But hope is on the horizon and we couldn't be happier to bring it to your broken heart and splintered tongue.

We'll be rocking the "Road to the Rock Revolution" Festival on Friday night, March 30th and taking very few prisoners. This event is going to be totally tits - a ton of bands, big colorful lights, chicks, booze, menthol cigarettes and vulgar language spoken by wayward adolescents. And that's only in the Jack in the Box drive thru before the show.

Right now we've got a limited number of discount tickets that will get you in for the entire event for only $10. The whole thing will go down at Khoury's in the Long Beach Marina, located at 110 Marina Drive, just over the bridge from Seal Beach. Show starts at 5:30 and we are headlining the event at 9 pm.

So hit up any CJ band member and get your tickets today - or you can call the CJ hotline @ (714) 595-4430 to reserve what you need. Remember to also visit our wonderfully wild website - http://www.conjobmusic.com/ - for all the latest and greatest show, video, music, and blog fun you can wag a Canadian flag at. It's all about those crazy Canucks, eh.

Your pals,

CONJOB

3/6/07 - MySpace Technical Difficulties

(From our Myspace Blog on 3/6/07)

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ!
You may think we're dissing you. Or that we're so broken up over the pending Randy Moss trade we've lost our ability to type and send emails. Contrary to MSNBC reports, neither of these are true.

What has happened is dickhead Tom and his inept team of Myspace assclowns has inexplicably taken away our ability to compose outgoing email. That means we can't respond to any 1) emails 2) friend requests 3) comments. And trust us, there is so much we want to say to everyone who takes the time to write something nice/cruel/indifferent about us.
What's worse is for the past 2 months we've sent maybe 100 angry emails to their tech support who only send us lame stock answers that tell us nothing. Seriously, no one will tell us why, how, or when we'll be allowed to correspond with you again. Did we mention Tom is a miniature rectal snot belch?

Fortunately (we guess) we are still able to post blogs, bulletins and new show info (many new and exciting dates will be posted soon!) so there are minimal ways we can communicate with you. And with the latest stock answers promising us our problems will be cured imminently, our only option is to blindly hope and dream.

So please, don't lose faith in us or question our current one sided friendship. We'll be back with you soon and we promise to be more loveable than ever.

Oh and Tom bites big green antelope dicks.
ooooox
Your pals in CJ

3/1/07 - We have the "Featured Video" on SONICBIDS.com & More!

(From our MySpace Blog on 3/1/07)

How could we lie about something so neat? Check it out for yourself - www.sonicbids.com.
You may have also noticed brand new pictures from our show at The Gig up now in our gallery. We were lucky enough to enlist the help of super photog Josh Huber for this session who is so underground cool we feel like chain smoking 70s hit men just standing next to him.

Let us also say that neither Diddy or Lebron could've put on the kind of star powered event as our boys Ghost did at the Get Down. Seriously, the slightly slutty Asian schoolgirl go-go dancers grinding on the luckiest bar this side of Beijing were only the tip of the iceberg. Love you guys.

We've also been spending the past 2 weeks locked in a small smelly room with Bob Burch working on kickass new material that we'll be unveiling at the Blue Cafe. And we'll soon be posting super secret behind-the-scenes photos that includes multiple shots of Zhanine yelling at everyone to "not look like freakin' idiots". What a sweetheart.

So we hope you enjoy some or all of our current internet exposure and leave us a message sometime. While the kind folks at Myspace still won't allow us to write you back yet, we'll sing something wonderful about you at our next campfire.

2/23/07 We're live at the Gig on Friday night - come be in our new video!

(From our Myspace Blog on 2/27/07)

It'll be the best Friday night in recent rock and roll history as our buds Ghost drop their new album and we're recording footage for our brand new video! Super duper porn pumps and edible candy chaps are highly recommended.

Get there early - Shotgun Radio hits the stage at 8 with Marcel "I love New York the Most" Saxlund doing some hilarious bits from his new off-Broadway one man comedy revue before their blockrocking set. Dig it.

So come immortalize yourself (or at least the back of your head) in CONJOB video lore and secure yourself a somewhat decent story to tell your jaded grandkids. C'mon, by then they'll be im-ing little purple monsters on Jupiter.

2/13/07 - Our NEW VIDEO for "Sugar Sweet" is up NOW!

(This is from our MySpace blog on 2/13/07 - can be seen on www.myspace.com/conjob or www.youtube.com/conjob)

You've danced to it, made sweaty monkey love to it and now you can watch it anytime you want from the comfort of your parent's living room - that's right, "Sugar Sweet" has hit the airwaves! Thanks to the prodigious Jen Creed and the good people at BODOG Music and Fuse TV, our first video from the new album has landed and is being broadcast right now!

You'll find that the best clips from our year ending show at Avalon have been precisely edited and you're gonna believe we're bigger and badder than Accept when you're done watching.

In other smokin' hot February news, be sure to make it out for our show at the Gig on the 23rd where we'll be filming another live video and we want the back of your head in as many shots as possible. We've also been working long, hard hours with the deceptively handsome Bob Burch on all kinds of new material that we'll be unveiling soon. He's an evil taskmaster but we can't resist his cool Hawaiian charm.

We've got new shows on the way and other fun announcements coming soon, so don't be a stranger and be sure and vote CONJOB at your nearest ballot box. We promise more positive reform than you can shake a large twig at.

2/7/07 - Mancub music review of "Everybody Be Cool"

(this post is from our Myspace Blog on 2/7/07)


Homies -
Our boy Keri (Ghost, Urban Family Dog) just decided to write a really nice review of "Everybody Be Cool" and post it on his website for the world to see. We're surprised - because Keri is a dope singer with a good reputation in this town - that he did this all on his own without taking any of the cash or "favors" we would've generously offered.

So check it out, memorize the good parts, brush the crumbs from the bag of Ruffles you just ate off your shirt and write one of your own. Seriously, we promise we'll either post it on our blog or at the very least read it out loud at practice and have a good laugh at your grammar.

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=17666994&blogID=196275291&MyToken=1ee9a3f8-c7f1-4dd3-8873-cb962d88709b

1/16/07 - NEW websites, NEW song, NEW shows and some weird NEW abbreviations!

(This post is from our Myspace Blog on 1/17/06)

First off let's state the obvious - we've got a new myspace page. It utilizes all the same colors of our brand new album so we are now officially matching and professional. Thought you'd never live to see the day, huh? Mad props to the TWEED Studios boys again who've been with us for the last 5 months making the strange ideas in our heads look pretty cool in reality.

We are seriously stoked to finally announce that the overhaul to our main website - http://www.conjobmusic.com - is basically complete (we'll go with 95% at press time) and we welcome you to visit and stay awhile. We've got a bunch of photos in our gallery we know you haven't ever seen before, new bios, a huge fully interactive CJ marketplace, and a cute little tickertape that will announce all kind of unbelievable breaking news. Gotta give love to Joe Ader with Plasma Interactive and Marcel "Electric Bugaloo" Saxlund for both their design work and winning personalities.

Also, as you can see, we've added a new song from our album to our playlist. If you've ever been to a CJ show (and you're really not a good friend if you haven't) you know we almost always close with "Tangerine" and yes - we've seen you shaking your booty to it like the holy spirit was trying to get out. This song has been with us for sometime now and has been changed around a bit and gosh darn it, now we love it more than ever. Try turning down the volume on your favorite dirty movie and crank it - you will not be let down.

Show wise we have a private shindig coming up that we just can't invite you to (seriously, the guy who hired us will get bent), but we are getting ready to announce some new shows - one in OC, one in LA, and maybe even a few out of town - in the next week or so as we continue our year long promotion of Everybody Be Cool. Don't worry - you only have 10 more months to put up with this crap.

We're also going to be throwing up some random pictures here very soon of some behind the scenes fun that you thought you'd never be lucky enough to see, so come back soon. And yes, we will finally reveal a clear shot of the elusive Bob Birch so you can finally stop asking who the hell he is.
