Fin's Waldo Bar & Grill, 7438 Wornall Road, KC, MO. Phone: 816-523-9964 Return of the Elves 12/6/2001 You wanted the best, instead you'll get the Pajamas. The Tour that wouldn't die continues on with a special holiday engagement on Saturday, December 15th at Mike's Tavern. The SPJ's will open for the coolest three-piece band in America--Velvet Freeze. To get to this event, drive to Mike's Tavern at 5424 Troost. The Pajamas will start between 9:30 and 10:00. It should be a swell time. End of the Road 2001 10/17/2001 The 2001 Mommy/Elves Tour will grind to an end at the Fifth Annual Halloween Bash in Lenexa, Kansas. This will be the fourth straight appearance at the Bash for the Pajamas who made their debut at the 1998 event. This year a mysterious opening act will be added to the show and will crank up around 9:30 p.m. The SPJs will follow shortly thereafter. The function begins at 8:00 p.m. and everyone is commanded to wear a costume. The address for Halloween Bash V is 13304 W. 104th St., Lenexa, KS. We're all gonna get laid. Recent Shows 10/17/2001 Despite taking a planned two-month hiatus, the SPJs jammed a show into mid-August at Jilly's and also made a somewhat impromptu appearance at the Hootenanny in Brookside, Missouri. The band opened for Eric at the Jilly's show on August 18 in what band members dubbed the loudest show of the SPJ era. The Hootenanny reunited the band after a month off while guitarist Sexy Moves "recovered" at a local clinic. In short, despite the plans for some time off, the band will be playing their third gig in three months when they take the floor at the Bash on October 26. Next up, the band will once again go into the studio to try to get some decent recording of the more popular tunes. Also, a move to a new studio is in the works. Jilly's Forever 8/6/2001 The Pajamas will try to recapture the magic of their last Jilly's show by returning to the downtown venue on August 18. The band will be opening this time around for Eric. The show is likely the final bar gig in 2001for the SPJs as the boys will take a six-week hiatus after this show. You may ask yourself how does this plan differ from any other SPJ show. Only in one aspect--this break is planned. The band will try to reorganize in late September for the Hootenanny in Brookside, then finish out by playing in their Fourth consecutive Halloween Bash in late October. The Bash is moving to a new location in Overland Park. Jilly's is located at 1744 Broadway. Come for the beer stay for the noise. Downtown with the SPJ's 6/5/2001 The laziest band in America is back at it again. The Pajamas will once again return to the surface with a June 30th performance at Jilly's in downtown Kansas City. Details are still a little scarce, but we do know that Velvet Freeze has agreed to join in on the fun. The SPJ's actually played at the Jilly's location last year when it was called Pauly's. Jilly's is located at 1744 Broadway. Come and enjoy the noise. Secret Olathe Show 05/08/2001 The band will be return to action this Saturday in Olathe, KS. The event is a birthday party for Scott's roommate's boss. The band will be going on at about 10:30 and expects to play a full set. The SPJs are sporting nearly two hours of material now, so it should be a lengthy jam session. The directions we were provided are as follows: "435
to 10 Highway All are welcome, if you can find it. The
Urge Makes 04/01/2001 Despite going head-to-head with Gladiator and Crouching Pig, Dangerous Badger*, a good-sized crowd turned out to help the Pajamas kick off the spring leg of the 2001 tour last Sunday (3/25) at the Hurricane. It turned out to be a bonus for everyone, as The Urge made an impromptu guest appearance after the SPJs completed their set. Possibly inspired by the Pajamas, The Urge put forth a truly killer set. As for the Spooky boys, they delivered three new tunes as promised: Lightswitch, Mommy and Virus. Lightswitch seemed to get the best reaction. There are currently no official plans for the next show, but venues are being discussed. As soon as official word is released, we will let you know. Hurricane Coming 03/22/2001 For the
truly hardcore fans that make it out to the Hurricane this Sunday
(3/25), the rewards will be great. The band will unveil
three new originals, pass out free stickers and have
another 20-25 free "SuperPunk" demo CDs
available. This opening show for the 2001 Searching For
Elves Tour will feature the debut of "Mommy,"
"Lightswitch" and "Virus." The band
recently put the finishing touches on the new tunes after
eight tough weeks in the studio and is eager to test
drive them in front of a live audience. "Mommy"
is a definite sing along number. Cyber with the Pajamas 03/22/2001 The
website's chat room hasn't ever really taken off. To
change that, we are setting up a weekly chat time on
Tuesday's at 6:00 p.m. CST. We encourage everyone to use
the room early and often. Jay gives good cyber. SEARCHING
FOR ELVES 03/03/2001 The SPJ's
are back in business and plan to kick off the 2001
Searching For Elves Tour with a Sunday, March 25 show at
the Hurricane in Westport. The band returned to the
studio in mid-January and has been working up a few new
tunes for the new year. The new material should be ready
for the Hurricane show. Although details are still a
little tentative, the band will probably take the stage
at 10:30 p.m. The event is billed as Original Sin Sunday
with The Filter. GOODBYE WALDO? 02/27/2001 The
following e-mail came in from bassist Jay Thornton. He
