Ben Gibbard is Just Jazzin'
Submitted by imaginary dana on April 1, 2008.
Ben Gibbard's new band has a MySpace page with only one song. So far it's only had 129 listens and three friends. It's unsigned and sparse and the page is, frankly, hilarious.
The project is called Just Jazzin' and, well, that's about what the tune sounds like. Think Marimba. Just Marimba.
Here's the official word from the press release:
Benjamin Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) is proud to announce a new musical project called Just Jazzin'. Born out of an interest in exploring music free from rules and convention, Just Jazzin' offers the world a chance to see another side of Ben.
"....There's this side of me and my music that desires a lack of structure and Just Jazzin' does that for me because I am allowed to just play whatever note comes into my head.", says Ben.
Please check out www.myspace.com/justjazzin for, music and more information including a video documentary about Just Jazzin'.

Heh. This is funny.
But what's WAY funnier is all these funny kids
totally wetting themselves over it.

@The Grim -- OMFG that is hysterical. While I have no doubt that Ben would rock a marimba side project... WOW. Hilarious. Thanks for sharing!

This is almost better than "I Will Possess Your Heart".
