MUSICAL CHAIRS

Rita: I can’t believe Lolita is getting a trim from JPo! From the position she’s in, I think she’s looking for more than a little pruning. Now let’s change gears and keep track of the movement between band members in this lovely music scene. THE GIANT KINGS include DUKE LEVINE, CHRIS COTE, KEVIN BARRY, MARTY BALLOU, ANDY PLAISTED, PAUL ALSTRAND, and MARK EARLY. Sounds like a bit of a supergroup. *** JORDAN VALENTINE (x-World’s Greatest Sinners) has got her new act together—JORDAN VALENTINE & THE SUNDAY SAINTS that includes former Sinners ANDREW MALONE (keys) and DENNIS McCARTHY (drums), and new folks PAUL AHLSTRAND (sax), PAUL TOMASHEFSKY (trumpet), LUKE GROSSELIN (sax), DAVE LEWIS (guitar), and MIKE KOCANDRLE (bass). *** HEADBAND is now going under the name 18 LIPS. *** THE SILVER LINING won't be seen too much now that ANNA PRICE and MATT RHODES and 10-month- old ETHAN have moved back to Rochester, NY. *** RICK BARTON (x-Outlets) has another band now called EVERYBODY OUT. *** JEDDO STARS feature ELLI VEE from the Charms. *** THE LANTERNS feature guitarist JAY FORTIN (SCISSORFIGHT). *** SUBURBAN SKY has changed their name to SUNDAY MORNING MUSIC. *** WHERE LAND MEETS THE SEA is in the same family tree as LOCK AND KEY. *** ANGELS OF METH combine 27, HYDRONAUTS, and PROSELTYE. *** SAVIN ILL plays their final show  on 9/5 at the Cask ’n Flagon and their off-shoot band, THE GREY PROJECT, debuts at the same show. *** MR. B, MIKE DEMONIK, and JOEY SINN (all of the Humanoids) make up BORN OF THUNDER. Lolita: Wow, in my little close encounter with JPo I found out that he buys a new bike every month. He must be really into re-cyclying.
