guys were touting around Boston as "Free Will". BUT, I've heard
nothing of them gigging or whatever ... whats up?!

| For one, dani is right!! 8^))
Mystery Jones roolz! I have their demo (roolin) and have watched
them rehearse (they rehearse at the same place the Bunnies do).
They're really tight and very musically talented, with some very
catchy/funky tunz to boot. Check this band out!

| These guys are great...I take lessons from the Drummer, Dave Dicenso...
They were pretty close to being signed at one point, but the deal fell
through....They remind me of the RHCP..........Go to see them...if you
get the time!!!

DISCLAIMER: This is not a "commercial" post. Neither I nor the
band stand to make any money from this article. It is intended to
be informational...in other words, I'm just trying to spread the word
about a great band.
There is a great band, mostly local to the Boston area, called
Mystery Jones.
"Hooks, grooves, harmonies, dynamics, flare, passion, melodic
solos, natural musical ability..."
--Rick Schettino
New England PERFORMER, June 1993
"Definitely the highest energy live performance I've seen in
quite a while."
--Amy Silberman
The NOISE, July 1992
"...very unlike the average "clone" band in todays club scene...three
part harmonies that are reminiscent of the early Motown greats...KICK
ASS grooves...always fresh and spontaneous...intuitive rhythm section
that at times seems to be telepathically linked...masterful display
of rhythmic interplay."
--Kim Che and Robert Dragonas
ROCK RAG, January 10 - February 28, 1993
Their music is hard to pigeonhole, since it draws from many different
areas of rock music. There are elements of hard rock, metal, funk,
and progressive rock, among other things.
They have been playing together for almost four years and are not yet
signed to a label, but they are shopping for one. The guitar player,
Jason Moscartolo, is endorsed by Ibanez Guitars, and the drummer, Dave
DiCenso, is endorsed by Zildjian Cymbals, TAMA drums, and Vater Drumsticks.
I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that the level of musicianship
in Mystery Jones is almost unparalleled in any rock music I've ever
heard.
Mystery Jones has a six-song, professionally produced demo tape
available. (The producer was Alex Perialas of Pyramid Sound in
Ithaca, NY. Alex previously produced and engineered albums by
Anthrax, Testament, and Strip Mind). The tape is available by
contacting the bass player (and sending him $7ppd). He can be reached
at:
Mystery Jones
c/o Jeff Gilman
53 Donnybrook Road
Brighton, MA 02135
If you want to find out more about:
The band itself
The demo tape
Upcoming shows
The Mystery Jones email mailing list
or if you want to:
Read reviews of the band from several trade publications
Hear some of the music before ordering a tape
then check out the Mystery Jones Web Page at:
http://sound.media.mit.edu/~kdm/mystery
There is over 15 minutes of digitized music available via the WWW and
by ftp from sound.media.mit.edu in the pub/Sounds/mystery directory
(sound files are 8kHz mu-law mono AU and 11kHz mono AIFF). Only two
of the samples are actually from the demo tape, so you might want to
check out the samples regardless of whether you order the tape.
If you'd like to join the Mystery Jones mailing list to get the latest
info on upcoming shows, send email to:
mystery-jones-request@media.mit.edu
Hope you like them as much as I do! If you do, spread the word!
