HOAX!!! In what proved to be a futile attempt to collect on a $10,000 reward, Mexico's own Mario "Cojones Grande" Pelicanito Jr. has been has been named as the mastermind behind an elaborate hoax to cheat the Texas Rangers of generous bounty placed on the head of Outlaw Sam Bass. Pelicanito claims to have shot Bass from a snipers nest some 200 yards away, however was surprised to find only a pair of boots and wooden pipe when he went to retrieve the body. Frustrated, Pelicanito shot a member of his own posse, Juan Testigordo, and offered his body to the Texas Rangers as the Outlaw. Autopsy reports listed many discrepancies and the body was declared NOT to be that of Sam Bass. Bass was found 420 hours later, dehydrated and delirious in a peyote field trying to listen to a phonograph record through the stem of a cactus. No one is sure where the record came from. A full reprieve was offered to Bass on the sole condition that he lead the search for Pelicanito. In the meantime, he is recuperating at the Jive E. Jive & the Funky Bunch clinic for men. (In short, Sam Bass has returned!!)

Sam Bass Is Dead Yes...the rumors are true. Jivestone has bid farewell to the fantastic bass guitar stylings of the notorious Sam Bass. Sam Bass was shot in the back while fleeing a bank robbery on horseback. We never could get that guy to use a getaway car!

Jivestone EP

The Jivestone EP, featuring 5 full-length tracks, is available for purchase at CD Baby. Jeff Brown of Diojee had this to say about it:

        One word to wrap up Jivestone's debut EP: tight. Tight like an Olsen twin-tight. An innovative new sound has been unleashed from the depths of suburban DC. Not since the advent of Go-Go has the area heralded such a pioneering new style. Jivestone delivers danceable groove with melodies that are hard to shake, from the silk-smooth guitar lines in It's Never Enough, to the organ-laden Seeing Things. This EP expands on all the root elements of soul and groove funk, with just a hint of spookiness... as if Herbie Hancock himself had taken the Mystery Machine for a spin around 1976 Motown.

        All 5 tracks have been orchestrated with style, and executed with precision. Beers shines in Revolve... reminiscent of a day when Lady Miss Kier Kirby could give me goose bumps with a single lip smack into the microphone. Combined with Bullock, the two pull off some haunting vocal harmonies. The seamless tradeoff of O'Connor's guitar and Bullock's keys adds a very schooled freestyle element to the music, at no time compromising the tightness of the song. There is jazz beyond the Weather Channel.

        It's Sam Bass that blasts to the forefront in Piggy's Lament, delivering the flow with more momentum than a fat girl after the ice cream truck. And much to my delight, Grana's trademark disco beat seems to surface in all the right places. Modern music welcomes back true melody and groove with Jivestone's debut EP. Even Mary-Kate and Ashley will be cuttin' a rug.
