Coffee Project
-
Artist:
In case you are interested, Buddy and Jake have decided to expound on the joys of (their) lives by presenting us with a musical account of such.
They hope it resonates (I think) with others who have similar experiences. (ie: going through life)
Maybe they could care less, though we assume they do as they are releasing this stuff.
As you can (probably) tell, I am not too enthusiastic.
Not because I don't identify with their plight(s) but simply because the melodies did not particularly move me. (maybe that's just me)
Also, I am using a lot of ( )'s
One of the Monastery staff (who shall remain nameless) has insisted that I post this and in the interests of keeping the peace, here u go.
(of course, I'll probably get a whack due to my glib recitation)
let me know what u think...
The story (as I know it):
For Buddy Schaub and Jake Crown, starting Coffee Project came together naturally. Hailing from Gainesville, FL, Buddy and Jake Started writing songs on acoustic guitars while hanging out on the back porch when they had time (Buddy plays full time in Less Than Jake, and Jake is a full time student who also plays in Rehasher, and Hometeam). What started as a way to just exchange song ideas in the afternoon progressed into Buddy's home studio, resulting in 10 demoed ideas ranging from full band punk rock to acoustic songs with an occasional trombone melody thrown in. After doing this on and off for over a year the duo decided it would be fun to play some shows around Gainesville.
Realizing the only way to do this as a two piece was to stick to the acoustic songs, they found that a couple of acoustic guitars and a trombone was all they really needed and have now settled on this format.
Coffee Project's songs are honest and loyal to the guys who wrote them. Break ups, confusion, hope, stress, broken hearts, and rebuilding fueled enough songs for a 10 inch record for Paper + Plastick Records that comes out on Halloween. Look for some upbeat catchy melodies and lyrics that hit home to anyone that has ever lived in a college town. Throw in a few fiddle parts contributed by Jon Gaunt who played on Chuck Ragan's solo project and some tasty harmonies from Heather Tabor of Teen Idols and Bullets To Broadway and there u have it.

I don't know, there's something charming about them, I think. Kind of a TMBG feel.......not too shabby!
These guys really suck, like everything else from Gainesville, you were on the right track with James Cotton, Sonny Landreth, and those guys
I don't think they suck. I think they are kind of funny.
i have to disagree with you on that one... a whole lot
We agree to disagree, that's ok.
well I have to comend and encourage anyone who has bothered to get of the couch and make some music, I dont have to like though LOL
well the consensus, (small as it is) points in my direction.
I agree with earthman though. I commend them...
Damn! Late to the party yet again. Luckily I brought my own beer. I'm currently playing this at work...lousey sound but...hey. The consensus here is..........Just more weird music. (They think i play weird music....only becauase its often something they haven't heard 8.459 million times.
I like it, BTW
I am not surprised.... :-)
