Rival News Source Gives Poor Review.

Rival Chicago news source, Undergroundbee.com, shocked Shithawk nation when he posted a less that gleaming review of the bands performance February, 21 with The Dirtbombs at Double Door. Actually, it was just tonight that anyone in our camp even saw the review.


"It's really kind of exciting, as it's the first written review of the band's live performance to be found," explained band manager, Boo Boo McSwain.


"I think I found it on the bottom of page three in a google search for Coldcock Jones & The Shithawks: 69 Greatest Hits EP. I was excited at first because I was stoned and thought it was the Modesto Bee, of Modesto, CA."


Music editorialist for Underground Bee, Robert Loerzel, wrote about The Shithawks' performance...


"The first band of the night, Coldcock Jones and the Shithawks, was just as vile and stupid as you would guess from the name. The singer ended up practically yelling at audience members who didn't appreciate his band's subpar Ted Nugent wankery. Maybe it was all a joke, but even if you looked at ironically as some sort of performance art, it was a painful experience."


Front house sound engineer at Double Door, Jesse Ewan, had an interesting perspective on the venue's audience that night.


"Everyone in front of the sound booth seemed to be having the time of their life, while everyone behind the booth seemed to be impatiently waiting for (The Shithawks) to finish." The publication's editor must have been in the back of the room.





Band front man and Peoria Blues Legend®, Johnny "Coldcock" Jones, has encountered more than a few of these crowds. Those who have followed his live career have seen hostile audiences (both pussy and aggressive) react to the performer's aggressive delivery. When asked how he felt about two groups of audience members, the band's drummer, Clarence "Steady Rock" Jameson, claimed, "That's exactly how I want it."


Jones pointed to the fact that he, "doesn't care," what anyone has to say, unless they are influential and/or attractive.


He went on to add that until Mr. Loerzel is either more attractive and/or more influential than Juliette Lewis (a fan of the band), the artist would do whatever he could to help the blogger reach people that care about blogs.





"When it comes down to it, we're in this together, even though he might not understand what I do," Jones pondered, "sometimes those who think more about entertainment, just don't understand those who think more about entertaining."
