SO I was talking with a friend at his (one of the last) local cd store and he said he got a CD in used that was pretty cool. He remembered that I love PJ so he just gave it to me for free. It was called Critters Buggin from about 1994.

Stone produced it (its also on loosegroove, and Matt Chaimberlain, who played with PJ early on, is the drummer. it's pretty cool stuff. very funky, I love the drums!

So I did a little search thinking that Chaimberlain must be kicking himself for leaving PJ, but that guy has been busy as shit!

Anybody else hear their other stuff? They've put out more albums up until a few years ago.
Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    I saw them a couple times in Seattle in 1996. Loosegroove label stoped being in about 2000 or so(maybe later) and I don't know what bands on Loosegroove did after that. The Critters Buggin musicians were very good. Skerik, the saxaphonist is also on Tuatara which is a band Peter Buck from REM is on. I have no clue what they have been up to in almost 10 years.

    don't forget about 2 of the guys from Critters Buggin' (Sherik and the dude who plays xylophone) who also played in a great band called Garage A Trois, featuring none other than Mr. Stanton Moore on drums.

    If you haven;t heard these guys, they are def worth the listen and available on archive.org

    cheers!
