Another review we should've posted a long time ago. This is from April, an opinion of our gig at the Schlafly Tap Room. Clicking it makes it bigger.

RFT Reviews Our Acoustic Record - From Feb. '07

Ok...so we're a bit late posting this. But it needed to be done. Better late than never. This was our first record, when it was basically a duo, plus our old drummer. Pre-Johnny, John and Ben. The second one will be much different...

J&A's Was Cool...But We Still Miss Sean

Thanks to everyone who came out for what may have been our final J&A's gig. Without Sean bartending anymore, it's just not the same...eNh. We duno...what did you think? Chris was a cool bartender and all, but he lacked that "I will not cook for you tonight" anger-mentality. Got any other dive bars you think we can crash?

Guitarist Gives Lead Singer "...a good pontooning in the bogs"

"That ponce deserved it!" exclaimed Ben Franklin, lead guitarist of local rock band B&E.

"I warned him that I was gonna give him a good pontooning in the bogs the next time he made fun of the Queen. So that's why I did it."

The pontooned, singer Brendan Corcoran, had only this to say: "Regardless of the amount of pain and anguish Mr. Franklin has put my bogs through, I will always be in debt to him for inventing electricity and stuff."

Working on New Stuff

We've been busy writing new songs. And they all freaking rock. Especially the one shown below.
In fact, all the new songs are really coming together. And we're not just saying that cuz we're writing and playing the songs. For real! They're awesome!

You're a Mess

Live at Lemmons - July 14 '07

Craziness.

Popular Malt Beverage Sends Local Rocker On Time-Traveling Adventure

Last heard shouting,
"Oh God, I can see forever!" Brendan C., front man for local rock band B&E, vanished only to return two-hours later in what's been labeled by authorities as a "Tilt Trip."

B claims he was chased by Libyans through a parking lot to the tune of "Power of Love" - by Huey Lewis and the News. He reached refuge at a local malt shoppe only to find it full of bullies hurling milkshakes at him.
After picking up a guitar and belting out Johnny B. Good (pictured here), B somehow found his way back to the year 2007, sitting in the back of his friend's Corolla.

Reports state the incident occured at 2 a.m. while B was on vacation with fellow band mates in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The group had picked up a few cases of Tilt--an alcoholic energy drink known to cause temporary memory loss, blurred vision and an overwhelming urge to visit nearby adult entertainment establishments.

An anonymous source provided this account:

"The band was enjoying a night out on the town, you know, drinking in the local bar scene. That's when the guitarist guy Eammon suggested the group start downing some Tilt. Now, drinking one Tilt won't necessarily send you over the edge. But while the rest of the group chillaxed, B and E decided to go out to the car and down another pint of that crap. For some unknown God-awful reason, they opened a THIRD Tilt! That's when everything got blurry, and B started shouting things about seeing forever, then vanished!"

It was at 4 a.m. when B suddenly reappeared in the back of the Corolla w/ his Tilt still in hand. Wide-eyed and full of energy, he wouldn't speak about his time-traveling adventure until they promised him they were headed to another bar. That's when he finally started sharing his chilling tale:


"Time travel sure sounds like fun on paper. But let me tell you from experience, it ain't no picnic. I'm not sure what the hell happened or where I went. All I remember is that there were a lot of balloons, bowling balls, clock towers, milk shakes, midgets and an Indian named Sioux. He had a mohawk. It was actually all pretty cool."

Area Man Enjoys B&E Show Despite Upset Stomach

Avid "supporter of the scene" Mark Cooper traveled over 500 miles to reach Blueberry Hill's Duck Room for AdStock VIII. Overcoming high gas prices, thunder storms and boring Illinois and Indiana landscape, no hurdle was too high to keep Mr. Cooper from seeing two of his favorite bands: B&E and Dear Calamity. Slated to guest star on guitar with both bands, after a night of practicing Cooper woke up to find himself sick as a dog.

After downing enough Imodium to immobilize the Missippi River, Cooper rose from his sweaty futon and made it to the show while dealing with a fever, nasty stomach ache and self-proclaimed "butt problems."

Unable to stand without feeling ill, Cooper was forced to give up his guest-guitar-star role. It was a difficult decision, but he was truly happy just to be there. "I came too far to be bed- and toilet-ridden. I came to rock, not to read stall grafiti all weekend."

The show went great without a hitch. Cooper wants his experience to be an inspiration to supporters of the scene everywhere: "Get up off your ass, no matter how bad it hurts, and cheer your favorite bands on!"

Fan of the Month - June 2007
This month is Rex. He is 26" tall and knows how to rock. He likes B & E because of their depth, how they mix it up on stage, and how the bass guitar keeps his bottles shaken up. His hobbies included sleeping, pooping, blinking, and chewing on stuff. He vomits as well. He is a Capricorn.
