Friends, Family & Champions:

Yes, the rumors are true - 2SJ.com has received a facelift! It's now a fully-operational Death-Star of a website, complete with news updates, band bios, photos and the long-awaited 2SJ Webstore!

Through hundreds of man-hours of volunteer labor, a dedicated team of Champions has made, for the first time EVER, all TWELVE (12!) OFFICIAL 2 Skinnee J's CD releases available via Digital Download! Zipped album files are available in MP3 VO or FLAC formats - full album zips include scans of ALL ORIGINAL COVER ART & LINER NOTES! Prices are super-affordable too! Individual files for EVERY ALBUM are available for only $0.99 each!

Complete your 2SJ collection or dine à la carte! It's all there and very little of it sucks!

Also available at the 2SJ Webstore are CDs, DVDs, Boxed Sets, T-Shirts, Posters and the ever-changing "Vintage Vault" featuring archival merchandise from ages past. This month's Vintage Vault features all the remaining 2SJ Subway (circa 1994/American Heroes era) merchandise that we told you about at the Acoustic/Tell-All Brawl shows.

Stock is EXTREMELY Limited!

Perhaps the most unique addition to the 2SJ Webstore is the "Bootleg Of The Month" Series. A similarly dedicated squadron of Champions is archiving and compiling all the available 2SJ live shows (audience & soundboard) that were ever recorded in an archive available for download via 2SJ.com in V0 MP3 & FLAC formats - all carefully selected for quality of sound, performance or "2SJ historical value." The plan is to release one show per month (each month featuring a different year), going as far back as 1991 and continuing til present!

This series features fan-made artwork & packaging, plus scans of any existing handbills/flyers, ads, tickets stubs, etc. from the show itself! As if that weren’t enough, a different band member is going to do a short audio introduction, reflecting on their memories of that specific show!

Most importantly, we offer this as a "PAY WHAT YOU LIKE" donation, with the intent to use any income towards recording new 2SJ material and funding future 2SJ tours! If you’re broke or don’t think we deserve it - it’s YOURS FOR FREE! If you’re rich or think we should record more 2SJ music and tour more, please donate generously! If you’re in the middle, pay what you like!

Volume 1 of our BotM Series is called "McBootleg." 1992-04-24/25 West End Gate/River Rat @ McBain, Columbia University, NYC

So, check out 2SJ.com and let us know what you think!
We've been working really hard on keeping the band vital in it's dormant times - more news to come, so stay tuned.
We love our fans,
-2SJ

*JOIN US IN SONG!
Here's a link to an unreleased song that we want you all to learn for a sing-along at the shows!
It's called Science and J Guevara wrote it, although it never got released (except for on the outtakes disc on our boxed set!)
This is a demo version of the song (free download!): 

http://2sj.com/ScienceDownload/science.mp3 (click to play, right click to download!)

Learn the chorus and join us by singing along at the shows!
The lyrics are: 

I do not believe that I'm easily confused - whoa-o
Let's wait and see, what have we got to lose?
But when you talk to me, you ain't easy to refuse, whoa-o
You've got it down to a science!

*CALLING ALL GUITAR PLAYERS!
Also, if any GUITAR PLAYERS WITH ACOUSTIC GUITARS want to join us on stage at these shows, jet us an email (2SJ@2SJ.com). You could be part of the show, rocking out with us on the outro of Riot Nrrrd! (If you've already contact us, no need to reach out again!)
