When we rolled into Lucy’s, we realized something was drastically different from our show in August: Where the hell did they put the fucking stage?

Not having the stage actually had its benefits; we spread out and took over the whole front of the bar. Folks who showed up were dancing and singing along to every song. One of them kept requesting Queen. So we played two Queen songs. Listen, you ask of Jake, we deliver. That’s just how it works.

Jake and the Mountain Men were extremely happy to debut Mr. Greg Saracino on the drums. He had a very short time to learn an awful lot of songs, and he totally nailed it!

After two face-melting sets, the audience still demanded more. To paraphrase:

“Play Journey!”– Lucy’s patron.
“We don’t know any… OK, fine…  JUST A SMALL TOWN GIRL…“– Mussels.

We look forward to returning to Lucy’s very soon.

Jakes, you really came out of the woodwork to make it to this show! It did not go unnoticed– we love you all! Thank you so much for continuing to support our aging, cranky asses.

Jake isn’t used to being on stage, at least not since our infamous show at Vintage in White Plains back in 2009. Looking out and seeing so many familiar faces made it a very fun night for us.

Lucy’s prefers that bands play two longer sets, and it just so happens that we prefer it that way too. If you didn’t get a chance to see this show, we’re working on setting up another date so stay tuned!

What a show, Jakes!

We stuck TSM’s drum kit in the corner but he could not be contained; he’s a beast. We tried to stump him by throwing a Police song in the mix without his knowledge.

Dino, you’re fucking killing me right now.” –TSM

Don’t worry, he crushed it.

The crowd was brimming with enthusiasm, and requests. We played, and then we played some more, until the place was practically empty. Then we played for those people. Maybe we played for ourselves? Maybe we just forgot how to stop?

Thank you for coming out, for screaming, for making requests, for singing along, for dancing, for hanging out with us until the wee hours of the morning, for going to work late the next day…

Thank you for being Jake.
