DIM MAK STUDIOS RE-CAP/JGAL+ LAKERS /Meet Our Fans

Yo Yo Yo what it be jBlog readers? Yet another wonderful show has passed and we are excited to relish in the success that we received, thanks to our wonderful fans as well as the promoters! A very big THANK YOU to all who made it out!! for those of you who missed it, let me go ahead and give you a quick re-cap. Firstly, this night "Anti Pop" hosted by Eddie Donaldson of Guerilla One (guerillaone.com), Big DOXX, who also performed a set that night, and LRG was mainly focused on hip-hop, which of course your favorite band Johnny Got A Lighter anticipated.

As we have made it very well known, we love hip hop, rap, r&b and..basically almost any genre people! But hip hop is definately one of our favorites. Many a nights we get together with friends, throw on some music and just start freestyling over it. If music isn't available, soneone will beatbox. It's something that most of JGAL really enjoys doing, so this was our first opportunity to show all ya'll just how much we can dabble in the genre.

JGAL @ DIM MAK STUDIOS

What better song to cover then an Interlude by the man himself Kid Cudi!? I stumbled upon this song in my obsessive listening to his music, and just started freestyling over it for fun. When this show came up I knew it was the perfect opportunity for JGAL. We wrote a whole song from just a 1 minute Interlude of Cudi's song and if you were RIDIC LEGIT (ridiculously legitamate) enough to roll up to our DIM MAK STUDIOS show you witnessed history! The video will come out soon... so stay tuned!

Aside from that, we played a set with a few new songs and one of which we allowed audience members to participate in! Cadence Da Sickaflo jumped on stage and did a freestyle right on top of our song, "Down." We will be opening up this song for aspiring freestylers to jump on stage at our next gig. So make sure to get ready for that awesomeness!!!

All in all the show was a success with many familiar as well as new faces. Thanks to Eddie Donaldson, DOXX and LRG of Guerrilla One for making it happen.

Meet our Fans:

We would like to introduce a new thing that we will be adding to the blog, which is this section called " Meet Our Fans." This section has been created to introduce you to some of the awesome people that have stuck by JGAL's side through thick and thin.


NARVELLE PLEDGER

This guy has been there for Johnny Got A Lighter since the VERY beginning supporting mad style! Ever since I can recall, we have seen Narvelle at almost every single show we had...and somehow he knows and is singing all the lyrics...most of them anyways. One night, at the legendary "Darby House" a bunch of us stayed up getting drunk till the wee hours of the night learning the chorus to "All Those Things (You Dont Want)." This song is now featured on our very first EP.  There is a picture below of Narvelle singing it at a show with us, he is also in our music video as well as our "HARASS KROQ" video! He hustles with the JGAL stickers, and he even helps us promote. Narvelle is a great asset to the JGAL family and we are greatful to have him as a friend and fan!

Narvelle, always supportn JGAL

JUSTIN CUEVO

This guy has also been around since the very beginning of Johnny Got A Lighter, not only has he attended most shows but he has hustled many people to come out! Justin Cuevo, the man of the legendary "Darby House" was the house where JGAL filmed our first music video "Lost and Found", as well as a few very successful live broadcasts of justin.tv. He has been part of almost everything that we have done since the very start. From practices, music videos, promoting to partying his ass off with us and even, on occassion, singing the chorus live.  Justin is a wonderful addition to the JGAL family! And our live shows would definitely not be the same with out him.
