How would those 5 bands (and more) be interested in playing at SoundGarden Nightclub (complete with the city's best soundguy and sound system) for a 'battle of the bands' type deal, WITH all the other highschool bands out there? Spread the word - it's going to happen. There will be sponsors and wicked prizes as well. What are the names of the 5 Oak Bay Highschool bands? We're very interested. - Thu, 16 Jan 2003 11:08am

Yes, if they'd just change it to "Jay Watts Nightclub" they'd do business like a New York trendy disco club. They should seriously consider that. - Thu, 16 Jan 2003 6:42pm
RSBF ya, it should be called the Jay Watts Nightclub so it would BURN. get it? - Thu, 16 Jan 2003 8:49pm

Oh, you are now pointing fingers at people as being racists. I've seen this before. It is NOT cool. Knock it off, buddy.
Until there is undeniable proof, clam up! - Fri, 17 Jan 2003 4:21pm
ho hum You always get the glory, Watts! Why is your name first?! I'm breaking up the team. We can talk later about reforming to make fun of other stupid bars. - Fri, 17 Jan 2003 4:27pm
ho hum Oh, my dear Mr Hell: I think the racist comment was the start of Jay Watts' solo comedy career. Funny. Get it. - Fri, 17 Jan 2003 4:30pm

Yeah, that's pretty funny. Potentially fucking up a band's following with irresponsible humor. People take that shit very seriously! ML7 was the victim of such an accusation a while back. It was unfounded and we managed to sort it out before it became a big deal.
Humor is great! Just be responsible about it. - Fri, 17 Jan 2003 4:35pm

That's better. You had lumped the whole band in as racists. The guitarist is according to your first hand experience...that is better.

User Info...
"Formed in 1999 in Victoria,BC by Jamie Hooper(vox), Sunny Dhak(axe), Bobby Froese(axe), Jay Watts(axe), Rich Trawick(bass), & Geoff Trawick(drums). Jay Watts leaves band July 2000 after most of band moves to Vancouver. Rich stays in Victoria, makes commute to Vancouver ever so often. TIOB records 5 song EP in late 2000. Early 2002, Cam Pipes adds backup vox to a song on TIOB's EP."

Sunny isn't a racist, that I'm aware of, despite earlier comments to the contrary. He did, however; once light the elementary school athletics field on fire, with this other kid named Chris McDonald. And then he broke all of the windows at Scott Gargetti's house when his family was away on vacation. - Fri, 17 Jan 2003 5:32pm
ho houm A warning to you all: use your humour responsably! And I'm not even joking. I've heard of lots of kids using humour while under the influence of alcohol... deadly combination. The problem is kids have no role models these days... - Fri, 17 Jan 2003 8:34pm

snootch I heard jay watts is a tiny little fella ...and his arty take on life is a result of a horrible chidhood filled with bad Jane sibbery type mother and bruce cockburn type father playing joy division songs on a 1970's used flipp switch organ.....that and he's really smart but never smart enough - Sun, 2 Feb 2003 2:42am
