Ninjazz

Waking up late this past Tuesday, I sensed a great disturbance in the force. Picking up a local paper on the way to work, I saw what was creating the rift in time and space. Steven Seagal has a band. Yes, THAT Steven Seagal.

Now, I may have been in Switzerland for close to eight months, but who the hell knew that Steven Seagal had a freaking band? And on top of that, was TOURING? It appears that Steven Seagal and Thunderbox are on a European tour right now. They hit Paris and Geneva earlier this month and are well on their way to promoting their version of bluesy jazz with a flying monkey fist beat across England and Ireland. If it is any indication of how successful the Seagal brand can be, the Steven Seagal energy drink Lightning Bolt seems to be gaining market share among 12-16 year old kids who still think Erika Eleniak is still hot and have that scene from Under Siege on loop.
