6.19.07 WELCOME BACK TO GJ.COM
Welcome to the brand new and super-tricked-out Gary Jules/ Down Up Down Music website!!
Many thanks are due to my old friend Josh Hassin, who designed built this hotrod from scratch. Josh is also responsible for the album art on my self-titled ‘airplane’ album and has done stuff for Mike Andrews, Metric, and a bunch of other cool folks, check him out.
Anyway, we’ve thought a lot about it and worked very hard to try and make the new site as complete and easy to use as possible. We hope you enjoy it. Feel free to let us know.
Take a look around — you can read updates in the NEWS section, check TOUR dates, look at pics and video in the MEDIA section, listen to music from all three DISCS, read my JOURNAL (I’m into audiobooks), or buy t-shirts and posters and stuff on the MERCH page. You can trade tapes, read audience reviews, or leave messages for me or eachother in the FORUM, or make CONTACT directly if necessary.
ALSO!! Please sign-up now for the new garyjules.com MAILING LIST so that we can let you know about tours, TV appearances and the like. There will be worldwide ticket giveaways (one coming up for the Tears for Fears show in Costa Mesa California!!), special song/video releases, and other life-changing events for mailing list members. Go on, it’s free, and I’m waaaaaaaay too lazy to spam you with metaphysical tour ramblings.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you all very soon.
Peace GJ
