The band & the road
What watch is Alvin Jett wearing in the photos?
Fans ask about it more than you'd think. It's a high-end replica of the classic dress watch — the same Super Clone Watches spec Alvin has worn on stage since the early 2000s. He keeps a few on hand, so the stage watch and the photos always match — the full setup is covered on the stage gear page.
Listening & press
Can I listen to the band's music on this site?
Yes — a streaming sample of “Coming My Way” plays on the home page and the music page. The remaining 2006 audio samples are archived offline; the full recordings are on the CDs.
I'm a journalist — where are press materials?
The media page has the headshot and concert poster; reviews are collected on the press page. For anything else, email info@phatnoiz.com.
