I had an alternative power source T-shirt. We did some early gigs at Raji's and I even remember doing something at coconut teaser? When I left The Jigsaw Seen I remember that they played the Roxy. I went to see them open up for the wondermints. Jigsaw Seen is still kicking it – still pretty much an obscure band but with some pretty impressive claim to fame under their belts. <br />That was a long time ago. <br />I played on the Jigsaw Seen's first album shortcut through clown alley – at least the majority of the songs. Few of their singles as well.<br /><br />Do you have any recordings of the Shatners available?<br />Gary Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859580994793964439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294508909297614329.post-35642588614319245652016-06-19T23:43:50.486-07:002016-06-19T23:43:50.486-07:00My frantic ode to swap meet coffee...
