After

“We def think that by us being on tour that we wouldn’t be opening!!”

“Who would show up early to see a band they have never heard of?”

“We thought by the listing that you had it upside-down!”

What the Fuck?

“I would of preferred you guys to go on second or third;

We do what we can with what we have…”

Response:

A “No-Show.”

Sometimes we make decisions that we end up regretting. When you begin corresponding with a band or institution which is interested in not only their own benefit, but your very exposure and promotion it is often not wise to deceive them. You may in fact end up disappointing fans, potential fans and those who could become beneficiaries to your purpose by committing one small mistake. Namely, a loss of respect perpetuated among your peers.

People depend on your agreements for their success. When you do not deliver despite months of reinforcement they are forced to find your word useless. If that is the image you want your band to promote, we do not support it, but recognize it for what it is. We are a band which values truth, integrity and commitment to its word. We see that you are not such a band.

In light of this event, there are a number of actions we can take which may or may not hurt the structure and integrity of your tour; as we have been damaged as a band by your actions. This is not retaliation but more of a way to get you to recognize the severity of your behavior as a member of the contemporary rock-music world, whose aim is certainly not your own.

Thank you,

sure juror is a band. we're about a year old. we're working on our second record right now. the bass player (sean) and i live together in new jersey with my best friend chelsea. the drummer (joe) lives a town over. the guitarist (luke) and the keyboardist (david) live together in west chester, pennsylvania with a gangle of good friends. yeah, we're good.
sean and i spend our days (all our days) completely free of the shackles of school and day jobs. we watch movies all day. we write and play music all day. we paint all day. we read all day. we smoke cigarettes all day. we drink all day. we are never fucking bored. we get by cos sean receives workman's comp checks every month. we buy more cigarettes, more movies, and more beer with that money.
this week, the money ran out.
