so....does this mean no more Jubilee?

no more Jubilee? i'm not sure but no more Shuman? Yes, tonight when I mentioned Jubilee to him, he told me that he quit.

although, i think i may have scared shuman away, cuz when i bumped into him again he kinda looked at me for a bit and looked the other way
and i thought i at least looked decent i wasn't even expecting to see him there. I was there for Autolux, poor carla, didnt want to take fan pictures cuz she thinks she's not photogenic

i got to say though, they played well( for their 3rd show) & zach is very friendly/cool and i wish i had more to say than what i had, i'm bad w/ppl & guys

sorry kate
i would have tried to do an informal fanklub interview w/video(i really wanted too) but i didnt see him after the show(i barely had any room to breathe during the show) + i think he may have been in the "restricted" area

so he's out? whatever. They now have music for sale on their myspace

[Eccentricman]

Hahaha...no more Shu for QOTSA...yeah Kate, thats right.

[Der Kate]

out of jubilee =/= out of queens

[Eccentricman]

Hes on to bigger and better things.

[Abernataly]

out of jubilee =/= out of queens

Queens too?
Man, they are all submersed into these various side projects, it seems as if they will be too busy to do much Queens-related things

[Der Kate]

um
=/= means is not equal to

ha ha don't understand how a new band means he's outta queens, not like he didn't have other shit going on when he joined

[Geohound]

E-mailed them in order to buy their CD, thought I'd ask about Jubilee, and they confirmed Mikey quit. Shame.

[boardumb]

I bought a few of their cd's, not bad, definitely a different change of pace for Shu.

Poor Aaron got booted from NIN and now his new band has fallen apart.

I was excited for the Jubilee album. I guess it's not really happening anymore.
I bet he's fucked over because of this too. I don't know much about that weird system they were using to sell their music. Something like the fans had to pay like 30 bucks or something and would then receive every bit of music or video the band released for the entire year. Did anyone sign on to that shit?
That whole idea seems piss poor considering a band breaking up could completely screw over all the people who have already paid the fare on the expectation of receiving music throughout the year. Now Aaron has to reimburse everyone.

[Ieuano]

Hello friends...

What ya have here, is a gift to you, from Jubilee. Actually... Consider this more of an apology, or perhaps a minor attempt at removing that frowny face you get when you've heard the word "Jubilee" lately. Soooooo, this is "Phase 1" of the process. Here are 3 songs Jubilee performed live in some dive, that were recorded last September in Ireland. What we also have for you now, are 2 cover tunes (of The Replacements and The Who) that until now, had only been available on vinyl as the B-sides to the 7-inch versions of our singles.

Now... Let me try to explain WHY we are giving these tracks away to you... And ONLY you... Jubilee's Topspin members, for free. This here is the first batch of "exclusive members only" material that we'll be churning out to you, our most loyal friends, with much more on the way. It's the beginning of our attempt at extending a sincere apology to all of you who have been diggin' what we've been up to, and supported the band in our "baby-steps" phase, yet haven't received what we'd promised when you signed up for our "annual subscription membership package" in 2008. This includes the "members only 7-inch". Not to mention our debut album. So yes, I'm sorry, and we're going to do everything we can to make it up to all of you.

Now, please keep in mind... This first batch of "members only" goodies does NOT act as a substitute for the 7-inch or album. Those will also be headed your way as originally intended. And we pinky-swear, cross our hearts hope to die stick a needle in our eye... That you will receive all of this stuff sooner than later.

Our next "peace offering" headed your way before the album (Or "Phase 2" if you wish) will be a collection of even more cover tunes that we recorded very sparsely and live at my home in We-Ho... And we-hope ya dig 'em. (That was incredibly fruity. Sorry... But that'll happen when ya live in West Hollywood.) This little "e.p." will include our interpretations of gems written by Nico, The La's, The Stone Roses, and F.Y.P. It might even include an original Jubilee tune or two. We'll see. But for now, we hope that this stuff somewhat satiates yer appetite until our album, "After The Crash", pops into your lil in-box. We know, we know... The sound quality of these live tracks is pretty crummy, and we played sloppy that night... But it's yer first chance to hear a tune from the upcoming album that ya probably haven't heard yet called "Make You Crumble", so that's cool, right?

Before the album's release, and the covers e.p. headed your way, we will also be revealing a whole lotta info on what the immediate future for Jubilee will include. I haven't been this excited about the band since... Well, ever really.

Now, let me finish this "War And Peace" update on this note... I went through a pretty rough time for a few months there, and I sincerely appreciate all the kind words of encouragement that those of you sent to me and the band. It really meant a lot. I'd also like to thank Topspin for putting up with our crap, and still standing by and sticking with us through all of it.

It's strange how everything happens for a reason. No matter how bleak or hopeless those things may seem at the time... It's amazing how life has the ability to surprise you by not only somehow landing you back on your feet... But occasionally, also at the same time, gaining you a few steps forward, or even some incredible and exciting leaps... Leading you places you never would've dreamed of being before, back when everything was seemingly "ok". I'm probably not making any sense anymore... So I'll just let ya grab these tunes here, and hopefully you might even enjoy them. Thanks again. Talk at ya soon.

- Aaron & Jubilee

and for those of us who let their topspin memberships run out like me....

If you have trouble downloading the music/media files linked to in our last email, please read the following:

Our database probably does not recognize your status as "active member" anymore, since you subscribed to our digital club prior to the 1st of may 2008 - BUT WE DO !
The software clocks the validity of memberships to one year exactly - so we're trying to figure out a workaround to extend the lifespan of these memberships until everyone has received all the music and media files they're looking forward to. We're still working on the software side of things and worst case scenario we'll send out every file BY HAND - bottom line : NO ONE will be forgotten. And until then, you can already listen to these tracks by clicking on the "play now" button in our last email.

We apologize once again, thank you for your support and understanding, and hope you enjoy the music !

And they emailed the songs, which are pretty good a couple of weeks ago now

so Jubilee isn't totally dead yet

how stupid is it that i probably won't be able to go to today's show cuz
i have no transportation and it's 15 minutes away from my house?

damn cars.


I don't suppose anyone is going to today's show..

thanks for not teasing
well, i was thinking in terms of getting back home,
it would take about 2 hours by bus to get there(its 15-20 if i have a car & take the freeway), i normally take the bus down that area
and i don't mind that but i was thinking in terms of getting back home cuz i'm not comfortable being alone
sort of late at night on the bus back home.

though, i could try looking into the taxi thing, i haven't ever used a taxi service. thanks

[Lams]

you've never used a taxi??? oh i think you'll just love it

You're not comfortable being on a bus at night time but you're comfortable with getting a ride from someone you've never met on a message board?

[Abernataly]

haha, i just said it cuz i was throwing it out there but i knew no one would offer

..i managed to get a ride with a reluctant bro, only to miss the first band:
mini mansions. yeepee.

i was half-heartly taking pictures and couldn't really approach the band cuz they were amongst friends most of the time

i kind of like some of papa's stuff though

meh. me. laughter anyone?

[Spaghettaboutit]

They opened for The Dead Weather on Wednesday the 17th at the Roxy

[schmed]

Just got a package from Mikey Shues.

Picked up a copy of their CD and a T-Shirt.

Great vocals throughout. spooky vibe on Seven Sons.

You're looking Evel Knievel divine.
