The Banana Rama

The Invasion of the Janas (not to be confused with the Invasion of the GoGirls) was a successful little endeavor and a grand old time. Jana Losey and her kickbutt guitarist /co-writer/producer/Patty-Griffin-fanatic Melanie Peters played a couple of great sets this week, including headlining Jana Susana Banana Rama at Genuine Joe's. Jana's album Bittersweet is full of great hooks and songs that you want to sing along to the minute you hear them (which poses a problem if you don't know the words yet). They did have the good fortune of running out of CDs before getting to Austin (which means a lot of people have Jana CDs), but I got one from the fresh batch which includes 4 live tracks. Quite the deal, I say. Here's a photo of all of us in one shot...Janas in the front, Melanie's back side (sorry, Melanie...but you do run nice sound! Hehhehheh), and Susan! If you were there, I hope you had a grand time, some good coffee, and thanks for coming! Mucho thanks also to Aaron for the booking, the promotion, the great coffee, and for being such a nice dude. :)
