Electric President also decide to shoot five short films for "Sleep Well" with longtime friend and Mark Hubbard. Mark has done a few shorts like the one shown at Eclipse during Art Sparks called "Boys Night Out"about 5 guys stuck in a bathroom labyrinth of death that also features Ben Cooper. Mark also made the The Andrei Omelyanenko Show and most if not all the official julius airwave videos. The new Electric President album has twelve tracks. Here is the explantion video made for "Sleep Well" and a video called "Scrapebook 1"





This Saturday night The Eclipse will be having a listening party for the entire Electric Presidents album and showing "Boys Night Out" on the big screen. Everything starts @ 9:45pm sharp.

Words from tom p. a Jaxscene contributor.

Even though I haven't had any complaints I want to say I think some of you might have assumed I either like The Pearl a lot or have some sort of ties to it with all the pictures and mention of it. At least that I must be a fan of The Pearl. We'll yeah....to all of it. Just recently I got a job doing promotions there and they gave me my own night to do what I choose to on Monday. Here is what I want to say. I have a blog, I'm a lot busier now but I try to do what I can. I try to promote everyone without showing favoritism. I put things on the blog I have access to. For example I can't go out and shoot bands all the time like before but I can show you I was working and I let somebody that was there borrow my camera and take pictures, here they are. I can search the Internet and local papers to see who is playing where and let you know. Which is hard cause a lot of bands don't even promote they are playing besides with a few myspace bulletins. I think it's pretty cool that I'm trying to build a night and work at a club I want to be successful, yet I'm telling you to go to other places as well. I recently started an interests column on the right, linking more pictures than just mine of other events. If you haven't seen it you should check it out. As far as having a blog, I don't care at all to meet the criteria of being what a blog is. If you want to look, look. If you don't, don't. The reason we just put up pictures, video, flyers and interviews is because we read to many opinions already, and we at Jaxscene like the idea of facts. We're not going to tell you the festival was this way or that because that is my opinion and I can't speak for everyone. We can say, we took pictures you decide what you think about it. With that said, I'm going to be posting some more Pearl pictures. If you have pictures of an event and want them on here just send me a link. I'll give you photo credit and everything. Jacksonville unite. If I ever take a picture of anyone and they want it taken down just send us an email. I want to say thanks for letting me take them. I think in 5 years you're going to be happy I did.

Jaxzine issue 1

So I finish issue one. Why I made a zine I have no idea. The content is my favorite pictures/things from Jaxscene. It's pretty much a paper copy of Jaxscene. There is not anything in it that is't on Jaxscene, beside the Atari facts. So here is the call out. I put a few flyers in it, I tried not to show favoritism. I thought of a few I wanted to put in it but didn't know if the people wanted to be represented in a zine, I would like to know. If you like Jaxscene and want to be in Jaxzine put me on your email list send me your flyers and your weekly or monthly things your doing. I would also like to put artist in it so if your a artist send me what your working on. Of course its in black and white but it's a zine, it's all in fun. and I will use my discretion. With that the zine is going to be released Monday at The Pearl at Avant Chic!/Apres Chic!. I only made 50 so they are super limited. The cover charge is free that night and the zine is free. You might be wondering, "Why the Pearl". The Pearl lets me put on events and supports me and for that I'm thankful. I personally want to support everyone and would like the opportunity to release issue two and so on in other places.

Saturdays Bogda Show Artist

I know I already posted this but I just wanted to list the few artist I know that are going to be in the show since it's not on the flyer. This show is only displaying a few of the great street artist that have captured my attention in Jacksonville. I do believe it is the first "street artist" only show, spotlighting on the on the growing popularity of wheat pasting as well as some talented graffiti artist. I just hope this becomes a common thing and I get a chance to see more Jacksonville street artist move their impossible to collect iconic images into a enviroment that makes them possible to take home.

JAXSCENE INTERVIEW: BETHANY and FLO

Bethany is the lead singer to Fruit Machine ready to ninja her way into your ears. Flo is a down to earth friend of Bethany with a extraordinary job cutting corpses. Though this is just my random interview, to learn how interesting and cool these two people are, you can catch them out in the scene making it happen.


What was the best use for caffeine for you?
Bethany: Dr. Pepper popsicle in the morning... after a long night.
Flo: Sparks.

What super power would you have if you were granted one?
Bethany: The ability to light things with my finger, or cigarettes... or your fire.
Flo: To forget all the bullsh$% I put up with.

Any upcoming events in Jacksonville you’re really looking forward to?
Bethany: My band has a show Friday.. I'm looking forward to that. But I'm sure I'll see something in the Folio and be like f#$k yeah.
(Show was last Friday, here are the jaxscene pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaxscene/sets/72157605391178798/)
Flo: Yeah... Friday. Fruit Machine, After the Bomb Baby... (At this point she mentioned Black Tusk playing in jax, as well as the shows at Shantytown June 20th. But I forgot to write down lol)

You can rig the election, who do you want president that lives in Jacksonville?
Bethany: Uh... Greg Mason.
Flo: Greg Mason.

You tried ______, and absolutely hated it.
Bethany: Jägermeister. I hate black licorice.
Flo: Having a normal job.

Ninja, Pirate, or Zombie?
Bethany: Ninja.
Flo: Pirate.

Name two people you would camp on top of Treaty Oak with.
Bethany: Alton Brown and Alton Brown.
Flo: Jason jewels and Sean Madgett.

Oh yeah? The second person you named fell from a limb, now how do you feel?
Bethany: Hungry, because he'd be cooking.
Flo: It was bound to happen.

Are you much of a techie? Why?
Bethany: Nope. Um... I'm just not.
Flo: None. S#$t's stupid.

Just for Flo: Identify yourself as a character from The Wizard of Oz.
Flo: The Lion guy.

Just for Bethany: Have you experienced a series of events unrelated from each other that affected you as one coincidence combination?
Bethany: What? Well everything's connected, everything comes in threes.

You can add and listen to Fruit Machine's MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/fruitmachine904. Catch their next show June 10 at 8:00PM at The Pit. $10 at the door. Thanks Bill from Iamhappenstance for flo's picture.
