On July 12th, two members of the roots induced band The Goddamn Gallows were arraigned on sexual assault charges that fellow band mates, friends, and others at the party goers where the supposed offense occurred say are completely false. Drummer Uriah Baker aka “Baby Genius” and merch man Quentin Price have been in jail ever [...]
When maestro mandolin player and songwriter Jayke Orvis left the .357 String Band, some heavy metal transplants were screeching that he took all of their grittiness, guts, and anger with him. Taking that theory to its natural conclusion, I guess a few were expecting his solo project to be some sort of bloodletting ritual that [...]
Jayke “Goddamn” Orivs, (a name I coined, thank you very much) formerly of the .357 String Band and now of The Goddamn Gallows, has finally set a hard and fast release date of June 29th for his solo project called It’s All Been Said.

Never mess with perfection. . . unless you can make perfection better.
Don’t know if I’m the first ever to say that, but after watching the .357 String Band with their new mando/dobro player Billy Cook, I believe in it wholeheartedly.

Jashie P of Outlaw Radio (who has Scott H. Biram as a guest for the show TONIGHT 7/28 !!) helped me confirm a few days ago that Jayke Orvis, founding and former member of .357 String Band, has now landed with the psychobilly outfit The Goddamn Gallows.
