J / Q live in somebody’s basement this Friday 9/30/11

We’re finally hitting the concert circuit. Alex At Large is back in action and we’re ready to rule. First stop on the “Complete World Domination Tour 2011” is at some place called Sealbeard’s somewhere in Allston. I’d tell you more but I think we’re supposed to keep the locale on the down low. Keep it on the DL. We spend more time on the DL than J.D. Drew. Our whole career has been on the down low.

E-mail us for more info about the show via jslashq@gmail.com Remember, if you’re an undercover cop, you have to tell us if we ask. It works for hookers, its got to work for us, right?

About

J/Q consists of Johnny Northrup (Clouds, Pet Genius, Octave Museum, thee Electric Bastards, Cancer Conspiracy, Burning Paris) on bass/vocals, Q (Clouds, and currently Doomriders) on drums and Alex Hartman on synths/keys. Johnny and Q played together in the band Clouds (HydraHead Records) for several years. Clouds put out 2 albums, an EP and toured a bunch. After one of Clouds’ guitar players moved to NYC, the band stopped playing, so Johnny and Q continued to work on new material. The two just kept writing and demoing songs until a full album's worth of material was generated. As luck would have it, both Johnny and Alex worked at Camp Street Studios (R.I.P) in Cambridge, MA. Working after hours, they were able to get the tracking done on the album before the studio closed in January 2011. Originally, just Johnny and Q worked on these songs with Alex engineering the studio sessions. A great working relationship developed and eventually, Alex was asked if he wanted to officially join the band. J/Q had found the /, and with that invalid character, officially became the most difficult band to find on the internet. Judge us harshly:
