    Currently, Longjetty are facing the major problem all new bands face they are unsigned. And there is one major reason why Tom wants that contract: I think I would have a lot more contact with other musicians if we were in that position. We live in a small town. There are not a lot of musos around. At the same time, they wouldnt just sign anything that came their way because money was waved in front of their faces. If I liked the music we had, and someone wanted to change it, I would definitely listen to what they had to say, but if it didnt represent what we were trying to say, we wouldnt do it.

    The boys dont exactly have a lack of supporters at their performances, some of them a little more unusual than others, but supporters all the same. After we had finished a gig a few weeks ago, a couple of guys kept paying us fifties to keep playing. So we did naturally! Anything for the fans!

    And, on the not so pretty side, I once didn't know how to play a black Sabbath song that was requested so a biker chick challenged me to an arm wrestle. Of course she won but not after holding me there and licking my neck half way through!

    In the end, Longjetty is there for the music. I just wanted to create! There is nothing better than sitting back after writing a song or even a cool riff and saying, I just made the up out of thin air!

    Well, Tom, you should be proud! Longjetty have done a fantastic job, particularly in their local town. Every gig they have had has ended up with another one lined up and that is a fantastic achievement!

    If you want to know more about the boys, see what gigs they have coming up or check out anything else, visit www.longjetty.com or e-mail contact@longjetty.com.
