Well, like how the album is coming along, what songs are going to be on it, and where they are going to be playing shows now.
As for JJ, there used to be several VERY good bands there that were not punk at all. ie. Fed by Ravens (now called Four Star Union, my friends too!), Glass Intrepid, Ibis, and the like. It used to be where Saturday almost always had really good bands. That seems like a rarer thing now

. Hmmm, speaking of venues... do you know of any good ones in the Houston area? Brenham, TX just isn't really the best place for my band to play. The town's way too country/hip hop.
