Great time at the Live Jazz show. The keys + vox dude from Dusty Rhodes flailed about like Joe Cocker's puppy and Cockeysville brought in a big crowd for their last show ever. Some guy came by and sold the club a huge box of oranges for $2 and then Dusty Rhodes wrote "Dusty Rhodes Loves Captain Automatic" on an orange and I ate it. There were Journey references and I left my bank card there. Here's a QT movie of us doing King of Karaoke. Gary Leonard came by and took our picture. We should play there again this Spring.

We have a name.
We are now Captain Automatic*. URL and everything!
*That is, our name is "Captain Automatic". Let's be clear: Captain Automatic himself did not authorize this, nor, we want to make clear, do we ever recommend having him in your corner in a fight. And don't get me started about the Five Flavors ...

Live Jazz exists!
I finally found the website for Live Jazz. It's pretty cool. They have a robot disco and some interesting research. I hope you have it in you to stay up late with us the night of January 26th!

Josh K and the Treasures Captain Automatic @ Live Jazz 1-26-05
On Wednesday, January 26th at midnight, come see Josh K. & The Treasures Captain Automatic play downtown's hottest new club* (possibly also its newest hot club), Live Jazz, at 366 E. 2nd St. $5 cover gets you in. By Wednesday at midnight, I mean go to the club sometime Wednesday evening, and stay til midnight, which we all know is technically Thursday. DO NOT COME TO THE SHOW REALLY REALLY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING! Come out Wednesday night. Pretend you're young enough to stay up late.
Fais-Do-Do Benefit Show!
Josh K. and The Treasures will play a short set at a benefit for Christine Berry's Smartgals on Thursday, January 6th at 8 pm at Fais-Do-Do. Here are two unconfirmed predictions:
* Even though we're only supposed to do a three-song set, I bet if a lot of you show up at the show and clap really hard, they will let us rock you out with a numero cuatro.
* If you have some gifts that you want to get rid of, you can give them to Christine and she will raffle them away. This isn't part of the program, but I know her: she's a raffler, that Christine Berry. Ask her about how my dreidl candles lit her on fire, she'll like that.
Fais-Do-Do is at 5257 West Adams Blvd near La Brea.

sea level records on October 4th
I had been meaning to hold off on posting until I had a show to announce, but I thought you might like to see what happened at the sea level records show. It was a good time: there were Cheez-Its and beers and Banjo Max. Here's a picture of us doing "Save the Country", by Laura Nyro. A lot of people thought I said, "which Laura and I wrote", but no, just "Laura Nyro".
Click on the picture below for a little QT movie of us singing Austin's little ditty, "Dan Baker For Head Guy".

The Changes
I decided I would be more likely to update the news page regularly if it was in a user-friendly format like blogger. I will try to backfill this with all the news from the old page, but if you miss it, you can still find it here.
