Yesterday meeting

Yesterday was a lovely sunny day.
We decided to have our meeting outside.
The topic was the show. We really think it is a good show but there is always something you can improve. You can never stop working. You can never relax. Sounds really fun....right?
Well, we can´t complain when the weather is with us and the pool at our house is opening tomorrow. YEYYYYY!

The JEERK cars

First up is BoBo and his Nissan Altima -93.

-Bobo is this Nissan the car of your dreams?

-No...it isn´t.

-But why did you buy it then?

-Because my mom is visiting from Sweden and I thought this car would be convenient for her aswell... but I like the car too.

-Perhaps you are a bit jealous at SiX´s cool cars?

-Yes...I am.

-Who would like to give a ride in your car?

-Heidi Klum

-Do your car has any special things in or/on it?

-A chick in the front seat.

Saturday we had a great audience with girlscouts from Kansas city.

Bobo, though, forgot to send a barrel in the "barrel" number and then Bobo had two barrels and Joey had none! ops!
Later that day we did a radio interview and parts of the show on a charity for orphans.
A day with alot of work and that is basicly what we do these days -WORK!

The Rankin Brothers

Yesterday we were at the "Caravelle theater" to see The Rankin Brothers.
A great tribute to the 50´s, 60´s and 70´s.
The three ladies in "The Rankinettes" really brought an extra flavour to the show.

Thank you soooooo much

If you ever in Branson, this is what you are looking for!

To complete their show they had to do a video recording in Branson.
It´s the Swedish hockey team that is on a Us tour.





All the guys are trained in ballet and here is Thomas prepering for the shot with some ballet moves.

In the search for the coolest ride, this is Nikkis latest catch.

The Legends!

Yesterday we were at the "Dick Clark´s all american band stand theater".
We were there to see "The Legends".
Buddy Holly, Whitney Houston, Elvis, Blues Brothers and Tim McGraw.
They both looked and sounded like their "legend". Cool!

It´s great to have the opportunity to see so many great shows all in one place -BRANSON!

Hilton

The Hilton manager Bill, Reggie and Joey.




We spent an afternoon at the Hilton Hotel, Branson Landing.
It was the grand opening for their new bar and steakhouse.
Lucky as we were we could try out the food that they were serving. AWESOME!! Lobster, Crabs, Oysters and lots of more great stuff.
JEERK did a performance later that night which went very well! We are lucky to have our great soundengineer Anders!

Since JEERK is very
concerned about the
environmental health they drive
the same car to the theater.

Last year JEERK were playing at Silver Dollar City so we had to go and say Hi to our friends there, and ofcourse try the new rides!



Reggie and Bobo goes bananas in the Wildfire shop.

This is the first step in Joeys tap school.
No 1 in showbuisness is expression. You need to work your face.
No 2 is your arms. Be sure you know where you´ve got them.

Cat´s pajamas

Last week we were at "The Dutton family theater" to see our friends in Cat´s pajamas.
They were totally awesome! A mix of new and old style and their great personalities really reached us all.
Thanks guys!

Rehearsals

Inside pictures from JEERK rehearsals

Shoemaker Jack

The shoes are a work of art.

They´ve had the same shoemaker in sweden since they started, and he is probably one of few who knows the trade so well that he can rebuilt sneakers into tap shoes.

As you all understand they do ALOT of tapping and the shoes get worned out and needs reparing during their stay in Branson.

We are very lucky that we´ve found Jack!

The boots and moccasins he made were really a work of art.

Thank you Jack!

Get started

The thing about JEERK is that they do almost everything by themselfs.

Choreography, props, stage set, videos, posters and much more.

BUT that also means that it takes alot of time to get set. 

To the right: Thomas trying to get the bottles in the right tune to "the bottle song".

Joey and Reggie is building a mobile tap floor.

The Flight

It is quite a long trip from Sweden to the USA.
About 16h we spent on the plane.

No one got sick or had any unexpected accidents , but Bobo´s camera bags were searched for illegale substanses.
Their equipment gave signal but it turned out to be the popping candy they were having for the sound recording for "Captain JEERK".

Well well now they´re here and walking the streets promoting their show.
