Truth be told, the Pepprrmill Lounge in east Ft Woth has always been the band's favorite venue. However, in the past, poor service, shady dealings and too much smoke led it to shut down over a year ago. But that was then and this is now, and the Peppermill has risen again.

The Owner has dumped over $70,000 into bringing the Mill back to life. The main improvement is 3 brand new smoke eaters to keep the air clear. Then there is new flooring, a new bar, fresh paint every where, and improved bath rooms. A waitress is always on hand now as well so no more trips to the bar when you got a table.

Bottom line is...if you gave up on the Peppermill, it is time to give it a second chance. Max. P. has had its best shows of all time in this place and we hope to do it again.

C ya Sat June 18 9:30p-2a.

Now, to the chance encounter had by JC.

At the end of last night's band rehearsal, JC was wrapping up when a lady walked up and asked if he was in the band. Not really liking strangers walking up to the guarded practice room, He politely answered her question with a quick yes and tried to convince her he was real busy and had no time to talk. This tactic is taken, not to be rude, but to keep people from peering into the room to see what kind of equipment could wind up an a thieve's wish list. A man was walking up behind her and obviously with her when JC stood up and faced them...with his Maxfield Parish T-shirt on. The woman gasped and asked if JC played in that band. JC replied that he was the original founding member and had been in the band for over 12 years. That's when her boyfriend stated that he had played in the band as well. WHAT?! JC had never seen this guy before but had an idea of what he was talking about. The dude may have very well Played in a Band called Maxfield Parish. So the interrogation began.

JC asked the guy if he knew a Johnny Kar. the guy responded by asking JC if he meant John Karpinko. BINGO! John Karpinko and Johnny Kar are one in the same. This guy and Johnny had been in a band when they were teenagers (a long time ago) and called it Maxfield Parish. When he joined forces with JC several years ago, that band was called DEDLOK. As the band began to play more and more cover tunes and backed off from its heavy roots, a named change was called for. Several names were thrown into a hat and Maxfield Parish was the only name Johnny could come up with. John told us it was the name of one of his old bands. We took it as our moniker and it has stuck ever since.

So, in an empty remote parking lot, late at night, Misfiled Parish met Maxfield Parish. It was freaky but music is a very small world and these encounters happen.

Johnny was left the band about 5 or 6 years ago due to some changes in his life at the time. It was not a friendly split and JC has not been in touch with Johnny since his departure. However, JC was given some info on John recently.

Turns out Johnny had a near death experience with pneumonia and, finally, had to quit smoking. All of us, including JC, wish him happiness.

This favorite haunt has been a major part of Max.P.'s long history. The band hopes to make much more history in the future there. You are invited to be a part of it too.]]> http://maxparish.com/news.html#291 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 00:00:00 -0500 Party to the Max!!! - Maxfield Parish - Newz http://maxparish.com/news.html#289
For those of you new to the band's friend list, The Peppermill has hosted Maxfield Parish shows for over 10 years. Too many fun times to mention have happened there. It is smallish, has a very cool dance floor and the lighting makes the whole place a rock and roll heaven. When Max. P. and their friends gather in this place, everyone gets into the act.

The Boys can't wait and expect to perform there at least twice a month till the end of time....]]> http://maxparish.com/news.html#289 Thu, 20 Jan 2011 00:00:00 -0600 Party to the Max!!! - Maxfield Parish - Newz http://maxparish.com/news.html#288 http://maxparish.com/news.html#288 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 00:00:00 -0500 Party to the Max!!! - Maxfield Parish - Newz http://maxparish.com/news.html#287 http://maxparish.com/news.html#287 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 00:00:00 -0500 Party to the Max!!! - Maxfield Parish - Newz
