Monday, CBGB
James Weber, formerly of The Julia Sets, is debuting a new band, this Monday at South Grand's CBGB. Weber, a contributor to the new print issue of 52ndcity.com writes in with a bit of info on James Will & the Engines of Creation, his latest project:
Well, lesse. I've spent the last 2 years writing some tunes but not doing much of anything with them. About 2 months ago I took some hesitant steps towards putting a rhythm section together, which fell apart 1 practice in. My friend Matt Harnish suckered me into booking a show, and I had no band. Panic set in. These 2 young punk guys got a hold of my demos and out of nowhere emailed me saying, "Hey. We already learned your songs. Let's play this show!" So we got together for a practice or two, things clicked, and now I'm jumping outta my shoes to take these songs up in front of folks. It's at CBGB's with a great band from Canada called Lake Holiday on the 17th of July. Should be a blast (from the past?) and as far as any plans past that, we'll see how this one goes, eh? I'm excited to play in a way I haven't been in years. Hope you make it!
