(TV) Joss - this wednesday 2/23/05 MAXWELLS. with Snowglobe

[Blumetakt@aol.com]

The rumours are true and the shows continue.

JOSS will be playing in their home turf @  Maxwell's Hoboken NJ (
_www.maxwellsnj.com_ (http://www.maxwellsnj.com/)  )  this  Wednesday February
23rd @
9:00 pm. Joss will be opening for the  SNOWGLOBE.

Snowglobe is heavily influenced by the sounds of Elephant  6. Warm, poppy,
psychedelic-y, and even a little bit hippy. They also blend in  shades of jazz
and hard rock, with touches of horns, strings, bells, whistles,  and whatever
else was lying around the house to create a masterpiece of music  that's all
their own

All Music Guide December 2004 had these words about  Joss.

JOSS/If Not For the Hovering... On If Not For the Hovering... indie rockers
Joss  rest sultry, jazz-tinged romps like "Good Weather" alongside minimalist,
riff-sturdy keepers like "MM." Although the upbeat "Mojave Desert Highrise"
b
 complete with jagged chords, military drumming and distorted vocals b is
both  bold and inviting, nothing here can beat the self-deprecating sway of
"Rumour Of  A Monkey Clown." There's an intoxicating lure beneath that song's
oddball  proclamations (like "[I'm] stealing looks from a boogie down
laundrymat")
that  keep otherwise solid tunes like "Mooncake" and the The-inspired
"Careless" from  measuring up. But Joss have plenty to be proud of with If Not
For the
 Hovering... despite the fact that the dour late album offering "Good  Grace"
is a sluggish, endless stab at art rock.    by John D.  Luerssen

MAGNET (August-September 2004)
JOSS/If Not For the Hovering... . Armed with enough  spooky tremolo-guitar
effects and slinky maracas to put Friends of Dean Martinez  out of business,
this NYC-area trio provides the soundtrack for a burning  cantina. Think of
Joss
as Yo La Tengo's evil cowpoke twin, with Ambrose Liu  singing in a
flatter-than-Ira monotone and sculpting menacing guitar  epics


Hope to see you at the show.
