Radio station conglomerate Clear Channel called Bryan for an interview a few weeks ago and it's posted on the Star 98.7FM website (wait for the box in the left-hand corner to change to us) along with the video for 'How Much It Hurts'.

You'll also find on all the 24|seven pages on Clear Channel radio station websites across the country.

Hey y'all -

JOT has been invited to be interviewed on The James Madison Show this Friday between 6pm - 8pm EST (3pm - 5pm PST).  We'll probably be able to narrow that time frame down a little bit in the next couple of days, though.

Where are Phil & Stephen? 

We don't know.

Regardless, James, Eric & Bryan will also be taking call-in questions, talking about the latest album and what the future has in store for Just Off Turner.

Head over to www.jamesmadisonshow.com or their MySpace page for details on how and where to listen.

Tune in this Friday!!!

Visit The Official Just Off Turner Merchandise page for CDs and T-Shirts (and, eventually, more)!!!

Pretend that Just Off Turner is running for president. Imagine a campaign slogan that will 'sell' JOT to the masses...

What would that slogan be?

Please post a comment in our guestbook... The top five entries will be featured in an upcoming ad campaign.

First off: Thank you to everyone that voted for us for Round 1 - You
made sure that we were in the running to be placed in the Top 20.
And, now, ACL judges picked our song (out of 99 more) to compete for
the top spot in the Austin City Limits Festival.

But it's not over - Round 2 has begun and voting will take place
every day until August 31st. Fans can vote once a day with a valid
email address (meaning, with multiple email addresses, you can vote
multiple times).

The competition is pretty stiff, so we'd like to ask you to vote once
a day until the end of the month and try to get JOT in the Top 5 to
travel to Austin, TX and compete, live, for the number one slot.

Again: Thank you so much. We wouldn't be where we are without you
all.

Cheers,

Just Off Turner

Hey there -

The band is looking to dust off the number one fan favorite that we haven't played in forever - Seeing how we'll be working our way across the country soon, we just want to make y'all happy.

So what will it be? Here's the list:

Summertime
If You're Leaving
Who's Lonely?
Before The Storm
Good Thing
Almost Gone
Good For Nothing
Better Deal
Dirty Words
Alright
Stranger Things
Background
Pressure
Never Better

Message or comment us back - We'll be playing the top one or two at shows this fall along with two or three brand-spankin' new songs!

Yes, another worthy cause to vote for JOT for... We promise, these are all worth it...

This time around, it's for the Austin City Limits Festival held September 14-16th in (where else?) Austin, Texas. Fans will vote for their favorite bands to be considered to play the festival and the top 100 bands will be critiqued by ACL judges. The winning band will be playing on the same stages as Bjork, Bob Dylan, The Killers, White Stripes, Muse, Bloc Party and many more...

So, vote with a valid email address here: http://acl.mp3.com/feature/soundandjury/?letter=j and get your friends and neighbors to do the same.

One of these times, all this voting hubub is bound to pay off...

Mucho appreciando,

Phil and JOT

Ladies and gentlemen,

Just Off Turner is looking to set up their official street team and we'd like you to be part of it.

"What is a street team", you ask?

It's whatever you want to do to promote good, independent music: Distributing sampler CDs, asking businesses to play our tunes, telling your friends and family about us, strewing posters about your hometown and getting new people to our shows are just some of the ideas we have... But we want to hear yours, as well.

We've set up http://www.myspace.com/justoffturnerstreetteam to specifically house the materials that you can use to help spread the gospel of JOT (downloadable posters, flyers, contact info, etc.) and upload your pictures of JOT love.

What we're looking for are some friends to help out in each city we'll be visiting (including the HUGE tour in October) and one (1) stalwart and intrepid individual to helm the good ship Street Team page. So, if you'd like to join the JOT ST, simply send an add request to the page - If you think you can handle being captain of this particular vessel, please message us. We'll be "interviewing" candidates shortly.

Thanks, everyone. JOT fans are the best!

We're kicking off a new feature on our MySpace page (which is actually an old feature at the old website): We've been getting a lot of questions about the band, the name, our shoe sizes (which we hope will be followed up by the question, "where can we ship these shoes to?") and we thought we'd publish the questions and try to answer them to the best of our abilities in the JOT Blog. So email us or message us your questions... We'll post the answers at a later date.

Ask away!

Happy Independents Day!

Yes, I know that the correct spelling is "independence" but, you see, we're an independent band on our own, independent label.  See what I did there?

...Nevermind.

HEY!  Look whose new album is up on iTunes:

US iTunes:







Other countries:

AUSTRALIA 

NEW ZEALAND 

UK 

FRANCE 

CANADA 

GERMANY 

JAPAN 

If you don't see your country listed, please search for 'Just Off Turner' in your own country's iTunes store

And, of course, it's still available at theSnocap store on our MySpace page, Rhapsody and Napster; Mind you, Snocap is still better quality than iTunes (192kbps vs 128 kbps) and we get more from each sale than iTunes will give us. 

Play it loud,

Phil & JOT

Hey  y'all,

Thanks for listening to the tunes at the ClearChannel site.  'The Long Walk Back' is currently #5 on the Hit charts and #3[!] on the Adult charts.  And, as of today, we're featured on the Hit site in the rotating picture box at the top of the page with a neat little blurb about us and JM.

But wait!  What's this?  Looks like someone leaked 'How Much It Hurts' into the Adult charts as well...  It's currently #29 and climbing.

Thanks again for listening, people - If you tell your friends about us, we could dethrone the lovely Katie Neil from the #4 spot on the Hit charts...

...just sayin'.

Friends -

Just got an email from Clear Channel congratulating us on being in the overall Top Ten:
-#7 in the Hit! category (the sum of all the artists on the New! page
-#5 on in the Adult (Contemporary) category...

And y'know that scrolling artist picture at the top of the page?  Yeah, we're there right next to James Morrison, Paolo Nutini, Peter Bjorn & John and Corrine Bailey Ray.  How cool is that?

It won't be long before we get played on Clear Channel stations in your area...

I don't know how we did it, but I'm sure that the extra special support from our fans kept voting - Clear Channel is certainly paying attention to how many plays we're getting, so, if you want to get us to number one on the Hit! and Adult charts, keep playing 'The Long Walk Back' and tell your friends to check it out:

http://clearchannelmusic.com/cc-common/new/6/indexhit.html

Special thanks go to Teresa, Soma, Gary, DR, Tawni, Kristine, Janelle, Adam, Frank and everyone else who voted!

Best,

Phil & JOT

Hey cats and kittens,

JOT's song, 'The Long Walk Back', is featured on the Star 98.7 New! site. Listeners can check out new music from today's hottest unsigned bands - And who's more hot or unsigned than Just Off Turner?!?

Here's the best part: Songs with the most plays will be played on-air on Star 98.7FM (LA's most important pop/rock station) - Click below and groove to 'Long Walk Back' over... And over... And over...

Buenos dias, tardes and noches everybody -

A couple of important shows this week: A big show in LA at one of
our favorite venues and JOT's triumphant return to the Phoenix/Tempe
area.

For those of you who've been asking, we'll have a couple of handfuls
of six-song sampler CDs to sell at the shows. The full album is, for
now, only available through the Snocap store on our MySpace page
(http://www.myspace.com/justoffturner) in MP3 format. Snocap is a
totally legit and safe online store - Affiliated and backed by
MySpace. iTunes will come later this summer (as they're notoriously
slow at getting independent music up) and we're still in talks about
how (and when) to get the physical CD out.

Anyway, here's the details for this week's shows:

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007
Tangier - http://www.tangierrestaurant.net/
10:00PM
2138 Hillhurst Ave
Los Feliz, CA 90027
Price: $8.00

Thursday, May 24th, 2007
Last Exit Bar & Grill - http://www.lastexitlive.com/
10:00 PM
1425 W. Southern Ave.
Tempe, AZ 85282
(480) 557-6656
Price: $5.00

We sincerely hope to see you at a show - And, if you do show up, make
sure to introduce yourself and your friends. We love to meet new
people.

Cheers!

Phil from JOT

Hey everyone -

Due to overwhelming demand, we've uploaded two versions of 'How Much It Hurts' (the album version has an intro, extra verse and chorus) and 'The Long Walk Back' to Snocap. They're availabe to buy immediately (even though the album is not quite complete) and we'll be adding new songs as they're finished (hopefully by the end of this week).

No, it's not iTunes (which takes much longer to get music up on), but it'll hopefully do for now.

See you out there,

JOT
