Etienne de Bruin Great night with Stealing Love Jones and Dilana!

We made new friends at Brick by Brick on Thursday night. We met the vivacious Esjay Jones who pounced us with her acoustic set - boy can she make an acoustic guitar growl! Her highly accomplished band 'Stealing Love Jones' gave us a lesson in how to do acoustic sets with power and energy! Dropjoy hit the stage to open what would be a night of the South African rockers! Etrain on bass for Dropjoy, Esjay and Dilana all hail from t… Continue

Nicki dinner last thursday

I went to dinner with some friends last Thursday night to Apertivo on 30th. Great Italian tapas if you've never been, btw. Anyway upon entering the restaurant a mysterious man approached me, looked me dead in my face and said "your hair is blue". That's all he said and he kept walking. i shrugged it off and went to the bar. About 30 minutes later the same guy comes up to me and sez, "would you like a glass of wine"? and he's holding a bottle of Pinot Noir. I sheepishly accept and thank him. As i… Continue

Etienne de Bruin And the winner of Emergenza 2nd round is...

NOT Dropjoy, but this band. Although we are sorely disappointed, we know that the Emergenza competition gave us two incredible shows when we needed it most. The first was at O Connell's right after Andrew's passing and the second was at Brick by Brick to a huge audience. The Dropjoy train continues on it's tracks! We love our fans, we love playing for you. e*train. Continue

Nicki The Steel Heart

So Wednesday 6-24-09, i drive out to visit Pops. We have this incredible visit with me, him and John making small talk and remembering Andy. A neighbor of his popped over to talk about her rosemary bush and for the first time i met Carol. This is the lady that Andy always talked about as making incredible tamales. We begin talking for a moment and she sez to me she never met Andy but talked to him a lot on the phone. She sez he always had a joy and lightness in his voice. Now those of us that k… Continue

Nicki after the EMERGENZE semi-finals, a fan wrote

My dear friend Sonia sent me this after we played the EMERGENZA Semi-Finals at BBB on friday 06-19. Nicki, You have no idea of how powerful your music and performance was-it always is! You guys' music has a profound effect on me and in all the people you play for, I mean, did you see all the crowd dancing to your music and how, when they asked us if we wanted Dropjoy to go to the finals we cheered for like 1/2 an hour?!:) It was an amazing show. I was feeling a bit down that night, but seeing… Continue

Nicki Dont tell me that he never was.......

As of late i haven't been dreaming of Andrew but have been feeling him, intensely. We lite a fire on friday [06-12] out back, which is the last place he ever sat with Catie at our house and i could almost see him, if i squinted my eyes. The next day [saturday 06-13] we had a show at Winston's which is the last place he saw his band perform with another drummer, Derick Passmore, and while i couldn't see him i could feel him, in that room, at the back of the house near the beer pong table. No lon… Continue
