Oxes Official

CORRECTION Rochester NY, spring 2004. — WAS CONNECTINGICUT NOT ROCHESTER Our one solid ox #4 @matt.mccallus as our soundman this trip. G.B.sh had not yet been reelected. Oh what a time. Shot on a Sony dcm digital camera. Welcome! to our new followers! Comment below on the subject of ..

🇯🇲🇯🇲We all know the Tony Baines story… oh wait. 🍗🐓🐓Maybe 1% of our fandom knows who he is. 🐣We are talking about the one and only proprietor of @jerkwerks - who back at the Oxes inception, ~98-01, was grilling the WORLDS BEST JERK CHICKEN in an oil drum out the back of Mount Royal Tavern every Sunday. Oh the days, the legendary epoch.. 🐥Tony’s still doing it, now out of a massive custom smoker grill with its own license plate on his street in Baltimore. Hit him up! Follow jerkwerks to be up on when he takes orders via DM. 🍖 Chris @therealcharlesbroccoli went and visited him last weekend (slide 1) MEANWHILE in Berlin, this past weekend Nat @coldspell made a bird batch (luckily he has an exclusive submarine pipeline to the OG sauce source) for visiting @chkchkchk_og member @yolo_biafra (Slide 2,3) to stave off the current Berlin Jerk Wars (we won’t tag them but there’s deep competition all of a sudden this year with 5+ Jamaican jerk collectives opening popups and actual shops after years of only being around at the Carnival of World Cultures ) 🐣🐣🍗🍗Slide 4 is the !!! Story in full brief. 🥵🤬PS don’t believe the hype, the best jerk in Berlin is not the tame stuff you pay for!! 🪾🪾if anyone has a good Oak source hit Nat up as his two year old suitcase stash from chopped wood on a farm in MD is now extinguished #oak #jerkchicken

📷 from the archive: @oxesonboxes live at the Kazimier, 2011 I remember this being a) dead loud and b) dead good 🤘 (Also feel like this was one of yours, @ellis_samizdat ?) #thekazimier #oxes #oxesband

Got Wah? Street party in front of the first @theottobar on E.Davis St.

800(+) seguenti! Thanks to everyone getting on board and hopefully this will be the tipping point at which we can all convince @therealcharlesbroccoli to digitize that tape of us playing at St.John’s High School in the sport field! Poke him in the comments 😈 foto by the Ghez in Den Haag, 2002

Because one time it happened to me and @imperiumshaving #1992 #route40

Playing Pianoforte with our butts. ~1999 and the same day as the photographing of pulling a carrot out of the nose that became the cover of the Swedish 7”. Im feeling this is Omaha or Sioux City or some other Nebraskan place. Anyone recognize their college wall? This 7” had a different version of this song playing which is of course named after @jerkwerks

The equivalent of stage diving into a pool of broken guitars and poetry books, Doggy Woggy Ether comes out today to commemorate the re-release of @cassmccombs first EP “NOT THE WAY” on his new home @4ad - in 2002 sitting at Frazier’s on the Avenue in Baltimore; myself, @marcomirror @tomkreis and @brianderan all challenged ourselves to cover this record in less than 30minutes. We went to get our gear and recorded live to 4-track in Brian’s loft. The results have been in the vault for 20+ years, but a cult record (a CDR in reality) in the possession of a few VIPs in the independent music scene since. Now this is to be heard by everyone; so get on Apple Music or Sportifork or support us directly on Bandcamp and have a laugh listen! ✌🏿 @oxesonboxes

THIS 👏 IS 👏 OUT @cassmccombs @4ad
