When Andy and I met Jon in a parking lot outside a restaurant somewhere in Houston, we knew something was not right.  The guy was wearing a lime green knit polo shirt...real textured...straight-up Belk/Sears style.  Khakis, maybe?  I mean to say he looked like a math whiz or a golf caddy. 

He was the guy that set up the show at this pizza place and it was one of those shows that was a total cluster.  No one at the place knew what was up except the promoter.  You know...you get there and no one even knows there was a show.  What was worse was that some other promoter had a regular night (that they had failed to inform Jon about - and by proxy - the Bones) and the owners decided to let the regular promoter put on his band first.  I saw them bringing in the instruments and I looked at Andy and Matty and I said "funk band".

Turns out it was in fact a Latin jazz band.  No they weren't half bad, but it was gonna be interesting slicing the crowd up with the Bones' sound.

I can't remember who played first or what, but man...

Jon got up on stage.  I thought he was gonna announce the Wiggins or something.  This guy plugs in his guitar, turns on some drum machines, which I believe were running through the guitar amp, and puts on some shades.  I looked at Andy like "come on?!"  Then it began.

A blast of snarls, tortured wails, and jackhammer drums bursts forth.  A jangling, beastly, burly guitar chomps at our faces.  I look at Andy, Andy looks at me.  We're both beaming and we're like "we gotta put this out" and then we said jinx.

And so it came to pass. 

Here we present to you the Wiggins.  Sick shit. 

Jon sounds like Alain Jourgensen.  To me, anyway.  His tunes are like Alien Sex Fiend.  He's got some weird post-apocalyptic campfire song thing going.  Considering the way things are going, these'll probably be future classics. 

This shit is raucous, grating, snarling, countrified bile from a future-mutant blues band, trapped in the body of a golf caddy.

Oh - and it comes with a free poster of Jon's renderings of his buddies back home, on planet Fucked.
