Django Haskins - Ex-Best Friend - 2003from the Alyosha Records release "OverEasySmokeMachine"
Described variously as "a cross between Elvis Costello and Tom Petty," "a pop stylist, with a quick lyrical wit and a card shark's finesse in delivering a hook" and "Norman Rockwell with a Telecaster," Chapel Hill, NC based songwriter Django Haskins makes mongrel American music. Django has recorded with producers Don Fleming (Sonic Youth, Pete Yorn) and John Plymale (Squirrel Nut Zippers), has had his music featured on MTV's 'Real World' and WB's 'Felicity', and received rave reviews in Billboard, CMJ, and many other publications, but it's in the live shows where the music really comes alive, thanks to good old-fashioned showmanship and grit. Django is now touring both solo and with his band, The Old Ceremony.

Come back, come back. Please, you are missed.
Okay, a little history, albiet recent. Django played in International Orange with Snuzz and bassist Robert Sledge (Ben Folds Five). They released "Spoon Box" that featured each's songwriting--every one of the melodies would stay in your head for days.
They put on a fine show.
