I hate to kick someone when they’re down, but jj’s set at the Mohawk was one of the most boring shows I’ve seen in a long time. After playing guitar for two short songs, jj put it down and pretty much sang karaoke to some pre-recorded backing tracks. Her hands weren’t empty, though, as she sipped on a beer through her entire set. As was, I was just killing time before Holy Fuck came on, but if I’d payed money or traveled just to see her I would have been extremely let down. If hundreds of unsigned bands can scrape together four members and throw them in a van, couldn’t jj, a critically acclaimed musician on a well known record label, convince two people to play live music with her? Or really, couldn’t she convince herself to keep playing guitar through her whole set?
