First and foremost, a HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who came out to the show and stuck around for the whole thing. It was a pretty long show and we can't tell you how much your support means to us.

Another HUGE bunch of thanks goes to Junebugger Dan, who is not only one of our biggest fans, but tonight was so kind as to man the door and the merchandise table. You are my rock star. You are my kind of guy. You rock a mountain lion's @$$. Seriously.

Junebug's opening band, Fed By Doris, had to cancel tonight. One of the members lives in Mobridge, SD and couldn't make it to Aberdeen. But luckily, Will Brown was here to save the day. He played some solo acoustic stuff that was really very good. We hope to maybe play with him again.

Dan Cleberg was on hand tonight to play bass with us on some tunes. It was nice to have some added instrumentation live.

According to PJ, the set tonight was 135 minutes without the intermission. That's a record for us. It beats our previous longest show by 45 minutes. Coolness.

We played Da Bomb by Fed By Doris tonight. It was unfortunate that the band couldn't play themselves. However, their drummer and bassist were present and they both happened to be playing with Junebug tonight. So Junebug with Dan Cleberg ripped up kind of a different version of the song with Dan on the vocals since Jer wasn't there, Tony on supporting vocals, and Dustin and Anthony on guitars. It was a fun one, that's for sure.

One thing that made this show different was that at the end, we kept playing beyond the setlist. Cupid was intended to be the last tune, but people wanted to hear more. So we played what we've got of a work-in-progress tentatively called Everything Seems Like a Dream. We then proceeded to play Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding and then Peej requested Happy Book of Smiles. And as if that wasn't enough, Dustin, Will, and Tony jammed for about 15 minutes on some blues impromptu.

We decided tonight that the Official Junebug Groupies are now called the Official Junebuggers.

It was a fun night.

We had actually intended for tonight to be a practice. But when some of our friends showed up to visit, it turned into a mini show in which we played "rarities" and took requests.

It was a fun jam session. We hope to do more things like this. That's all. We had a little show tonight. It started at about 1 am.

Official groupies present at this show: Bryna, Becky.

If Dan had known about it, he'd have been there lickety split, no $#!+.

Mediocrity (Bud Hess) opened tonight's show with some great one-man acoustic stuff and was assisted by Broc Johnson of DosBoot on drums on a few tunes. Also, joining Mediocrity on one tune were Dustin and Tony from Junebug. They performed an almost impromptu version of the Smashing Pumpkins' "Rhinoceros." Following Mediocrity were the Kamikaze Snowmen (Terry Brown, Josh Trumbo, Paul Tebben) with a great set of comic music that kept the audience up.

Junebug was next. Anthony thanked the first bands for letting us close for them. We opened with "In the Flesh?", the rousing opener from Pink Floyd's The Wall. I (tony) was on vocals and the song didn't really go so well. Admittedly, we're new at this, but it seems we're probably better at playing our own tunes.

After "Piper," Anthony was heard saying, "That was some down home good music." Then in a fit of passion he attempted to swear, but instead spit out the words "doll gurn" and stopped himself. Dustin asked, did you say "Dolph Lundren?" I then added a "Todd Rundgren?" to the mix.

Two brand new, never before heard songs were debuted tonight; "Bumblebee" and "Found My Boogie."

There was a whole lot of dancin' goin' on tonight too. Members of the crowd found their boogie and danced the night away on select tunes and especially at the end with an extended dance version of "Cupid."

There were about 50 people in attendence and they all stayed through the storm to see the show. There were severe thunderstorm warnings and the tornado siren even went off. But it was all cool. The only thunder in the Red Rooster was caused by the BANDS! Yeah, you got it.

Also notable tonight was my (tony's) new (used) drum set. It's an old Apollo kit and it's got an orange sparkle finish.

Fun was had by all tonight and we look forward to our next show at the Rooster.

Tonight's show was a lot of fun. It was held at the Aberdeen Eagles Club where the Aberdeen Police Department were sponsoring a Foosball Tournament with live bands as entertainment. It was a great opportunity to play in front of a new crowd who maybe haven't heard us play before.

Other bands on the revised roster included; Rodents of an Unusual Size, Flatline, and last but certainly not least, Chagrin. Chagrin were kind enough to let Tony use their drums. So another special "thank you" is extended to them.

The crowd was a good one and we are gaining a regular fan-base. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO WAS AT THE SHOW! WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!

Bud Hess of Mediocrity came down to the show with PJ. A pleasant surprise. Look for Mediocrity on MP3.com. The number one song in North Dakota as of July 20, 2000 is by Bud.

Tonight was the night in which the winner of the July Poll was revealed. It was Everlong by a nose, followed by My Friends.

This show was the evening entertainment for an art show opening at the Red Rooster Coffee House. The artists, Heather Newton and Becky Grismer, so graciously let Junebug play.

Also appearing that night was Emily McKay friend of the artists and Junebug for many years. She was wonderful.

There were probably upward of around 50 audience members at the show. Many of them were our friends, some of which drove great distances just to see the art and to hear us play. The support was overwhelming and greatly appreciated.

Many of the songs we played were ones that we played before; favorites such as "Cupid," "Fargo Gypsy Girl" and "Crystal's Answering Machine." Not only those, but we broke out a few of them that we'd not played live before, such as "Near Me," and "Breasts." "Near Me," our ode to crappy, poorly done death metal, was dedicated to our newest fan, Josh Trumbo. We debated whether or not to play "Breasts," due to the nature of the subject material, but it turns out we're glad we did it. It went over pretty well.

Also at this show, two NEW songs were debuted. "Jumpstart My Rocket" and "Rich & Poor" will be included on the fifth album which is yet to be titled.

Thank you to everyone who came out tonight and gave us money. You are all rockstars!!!

This show was Junebug's first real show as a full band. A few years ago, Anthony and I (tony) played as a duo under the name Junebug, but this was our first actual Junebug show with all three of us.

We've been getting together pretty regularly, jamming and practicing. We figured it was about time that we show off what we've been doing to the world. Or Aberdeen, at least. We asked Dan if there were any gigs coming up that we could be a part of. It turns out tonight was the night.

Tonight was the Red Rooster's End of the Year party, celebrating all the NSU students that hang out there. There was a pretty decent sized crowd, all having a good time, and seeing as how we had never actually played a real show, it was a pretty big rush for us to have people actually listening, dancing, laughing and applauding.

It was totally fun. We practiced up for this one and we hope that we're able to start playing shows more often now that we've actually made the leap to playing in public.

Our pal PJ was in attendance tonight. He recording the show with his gear. Look forward to a recording of this show very soon!

This was only the beginning! Here's to a rockin' future!

This night wasn't an actual Junebug show, per se. Anthony and I both attended one of many regular open mic nights at the Red Rooster Coffee House. While there were a number of patrons in the Coffee House, the open mic participation was a bit sparse. Anthony and I decided we should play some Junebug tunes, even though we hadn't played together for a few months. We took the stage and played some of our old songs together as well as pieces from our own respective solo repertoires. I performed "Potatoes & Cream" and "Chambermaid" by myself and Anthony ended the night with an almost twenty minute performance of "Pay My Bills For Me."

This night was also significant to me at the time, since I had invited a girl. Because, you know, dudes with guitars impress the ladies. Or something like that. As it turned out, she and I began dating that night and we did for a few months. I guess the guitar worked, at least for a little while.
