So this still happens every Thursday night in Jersey City. Repertoire gets bigger each week and guests come and sit in every so often. GJ, French pop...it's all good.

Manouche Bag, nice...are they familiar with another Jersey band named Gadjo Dildo?

I believe Bireli LaGroin plays with them...

Just kidding...

Jim Kaznosky

Hah! No offense taken...The other proposed names were much worse.

Elliot

You mean like the Djangbangers? It's been 3 years as my top pick, but maybe its been taken by now, djang it!

Manouche Bag. Really. Wow, that's fuckin classy. SMH, LOL!

Jim Kaznosky

I forgot that GJ is serious business.

We have fun with it, all the while being professional about it. You can see from the video...we wear hats. It separates us from the buskers.

I think that name is flippin' hilarious, but also pretty offensive and disrespectful. Doesn't surprise me at all you guys are from Jersey, haha. (I'm from NY)

Nigger Jew Gypsy Holocaust Trio

Jim Kaznosky

Relax, Francis.

You're silly to be offended by that.

It's a good thing we didn't go with that name.
