*The following is an excerpt from Port Huron's Blue Root Magazine 2005 Press Release of the band The Violent Sleepers*
Jon Fret is a shockingly talented drummer/keyboardist/guitarist/anything-he-feels-like-ist. He is funny, and has amazing stage presence. During Tightrope and an eerie, sexually charged remake of Lullaby, watch Jon play the keys with his left hand, while his right keeps the beats on the drum set. It’s impressive to say the least. He also sings back-up vocals, and does a bit of stand-up, when it suits him. When is that you ask? Only Jon knows for sure. His list of oddities includes his favorite bands. He loves Tool, and of coarse, the Bee Gees?
Hey guy, how's things? Unfortunately the "salesmen" has left the building, so to trip we'll have to seek him much farther away...mmmhmmm. Call me when you get the chance, a couple things are coming up at the loft that demand your body be there.
