Never Jaded was the result of not wanting to go through more band names like Right Sideways and Heroes for Hire.

We played all over midcoast Maine, from Ellsworth to Bath.

Yes, and we would sell out like there is no tomorrow.

Once upon a time, there was a group of friends that called themselves NEVER JADED and could almost call themselves a band. And lo, what sweet music they did make, with guitar, bass, drums, horns, and voice. And the peasants did much rejoicing.

One year and some weeks ago the group disbanded, leaving many ears untingled and many ladies unsatisfied. They had played a score of shows and released one self-titled LP that featured a picture of a woman holding a fake fish. The guitarist went on to form a new band called Vague Valentine, and the horn players nobly failed at making any kind of band whatsoever. People everywhere breathed a sigh of pain/relief, knowing that NEVER JADED would never be heard again.

Until now.

A recording of the band's best show ever, a packed and enthusiastic hour-long basement gig at Karma Rama Music Emporium, has surfaced. This CD, dubbed LIVE FROM THE BASEMENT, has been cut to satisfy the minds and hearts of old and new fans.
