We are nearing the end of our final run through the states for the Mercy record. We want to thank all of you for making the last few years some of the most rewarding times of our lives. We have finally become comfortable with who we are, and what our purpose and goals are. Thank you for taking the ride with us. The new year is going to be very exciting for us. I am going to record an acoustic record, and we will record another Ours record. On our own. On our own terms, and our own timelines. I gave the major label situation my best shot, but it just doesn't ever seem right for us. If we do this on our own, we can get music directly to you when we finish it. This is our goal. I'll also be producing some other people's music and writing songs for others as well. We're looking forward to sharing more music, and experiences with you all. Please be well, have a great holiday, and we'll see you soon.

With Love,

Jimmy and the Gang

Hey everyone,

Ours is embarking on a headlining this tour (FINALLY!) this summer. One of their openers is GOD or JULIE and they're pretty good, they happen to be big fans of the band so that's really cool.

Below are the dates of the tour so far, if you click the banner you'll be directed to OURS' official myspace page where you can find all the details of each show.

Unfortunately they haven't listened a NYC area date (yet) but I'm crossing my fingers!

I went and seen Ours last night on their tour with Circa Survive. I don't have much to say about the opening bands because to be honest I didn't like them. I was around kids half my age which was weird. During Ours they plugged their ears, laughed and one made a stupid comment "what is he trying to do kill animals?"

Ours played :
Murder
Black
Drowning
Mercy
Ran away to tell the world
Live Again

It was a great show. No matter how many times I see them I'm amazed at Jimmy's voice.
The Ours fans were really loud with the cheering which was great. Only one dumb redneck made a comment and yelled "white power" which ruined the mood. So embarrassing!
I left after their set. I seen Circa Survive open for Muse a couple years ago and didn't feel the need to stick around.

the band ours has been apart of my past for the last seven years. i still remember the first time i heard their music. it was a beautiful, sunny warm spring day and the song sometimes graced my car's radio station. the echos of jimmy gnecco's voice took a hold of my heart in a way that i had never really experienced before. it became like a reasoning, a feeling that never wanted to leave and has remained with me ever since.

πŸ‘ Image


ours has been through a few different changes of band members, but the one thing that has forever remained true is the loyalty of the fans and their relationship with jimmy.

over the past few years, the live experiences have been full of a warmth that resurrected throughout the crowd and created a feeling that gave absolutely everyone the power to sing. familiar friends and fans would fly from all over the world to attend strings of performances in random cities and the audience would immediately react to certain special songs like meet me in the tower, as if they were religiously their own. everytime when the music would stop and cries upon harmonies continued, it sent chills all over the room. there was an important aspect of attending those shows, meeting new strangers who actually had a special love for something they found in the music and the bond that you'd immediately share. i remember leaving with such strong highs and lows due to the unknown intense understanding of when id ever feel like that again.

to many special fans, we've been waiting very patiently for the last four years for a new album and the time has deservingly come. my only hope for those who are being newly introduced to the music for the first time, realize that ours is not just like any other band; they are a connection to a hidden place that lies very deep within the soul.

my band had a show about two months ago... we covered i ran away to tell the world and had to teach a substitute drummer all of our songs because our regular guy had family problems come up.

so we made recordings so that she could learn! and here's a shitty recording of us (with her).

in other news, who else is wet with anticipation for the new album?

dear jimmy gnecco,

i implore you to have a show in the bay area. being a berkeley student, i would have a hard time getting to your los angeles show... on top of your show being two days after summer classes start (for me and most other students), i also have to work that night AND there is another show that i'm planning on going to in SF.

ours street team, if you plan a show in the SF bay area, i will advertise the hell out of it and make sure that all the people who even marginally want to be there are aware of it.

thank you,
zenkalia

Ours with Ambulette & Dredg, April 28 [30 Apr 2006|01:08am]

I saw Ours with Ambulette and Dredg in Atlanta Friday night. It was a great show, the last night of that short tour. The new songs were good, and their performance of "Live Again" was amazing -- energetic and huge. Five guys on stage: four on guitars, one on keyboard, two on drums, one on the mic... plus Dredg's drummer popped out to add a little extra. You could tell they were enjoying themselves, and it made the show that much more enjoyable to watch.

I wrote a bit more about it on my journal, here:

Also follow the link to a few dozen pictures from the show.

Hi,

I just joined the community yesterday, as I'm a new Ours fan.

A girl in work kept raving about them so I finally asked her what they sounded like.

She said, "Freddie Mercury."

Being a Queen fan since I was 12, I'm like, "I gotta hear this!"

She lent me her iPod and I was blown away and went out and got the "Precious" CD.

Ours reminds me a little bit of my favorite band HIM and also a bit of The Darkness.

As a bonus, I played the CD for my boyfriend and he liked them too. I played "Leaves" first since it's my favorite song on the CD and within seconds of hearing Jimmy Gnecco's voice, my boyfriend said, "WOW!"

So now we have tickets for the June 3 show at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ. Yay!

An interesting side note: Back in the early 1990s I worked in a musical instrument store called Long & McQuade Music. Jimmy Gnecco was one of our customers. So I got to meet him a few times way back when.

He was a nice guy and a pleasure to deal with :)
