Pedantically yours,

The way it's stated, you are saying she is no longer with Motorcycle...so if Jes, Dave, and Josh are still working together, that's just a bad way to put it up...
Maybe Jes OF Motorcycle. Or, Jes, the vocalist for Motorcycle, or something...

Oakey was in at 4th and B a couple couple of time of recent.
It was early 2004 and he spun with Perry from Janes and it was a good time.
The second time . . . well this is from a guy who does a local blog here.
BYW the Crystal Method opened . . .
After The Crystal Method finished their encore, Pauli P came back on to entertain the crowd while they set up Oakenfold's gear and they tore down the Crystal Method's (they had a show Saturday in San Francisco to get to and one in L.A. on Sunday!!!). Pauli did not fail to delight the crowd again.
Then, Oakenfold decided to finally take the stage. He had spent all evening flirting with some beautiful Brazilian women that were entirely out of his league. I guess that is why he decided that (unlike originally scheduled) he was going to have TCM open for him and he was going to DJ last. The thought of having a live band open for a DJ is ludicrous, but that is what you get from an egomaniac like this guy. He should have spent more time preparing his set than flirting because let me tell you, if this is the "most famous DJ" in the world, he is doing everyone a disservice.
Paul Oakenfold played for barely an hour, all the while thinking that making faces and pointing at the crowd would somehow make his mixes sound better. I especially enjoyed when his mixer kept dropping the entire right channel into silence- nice touch. The music he played was old and tired, with every track available for sale on any mix CD- nothing new, no white labels, no test pressings, no acetates, no exclusive remixes, nothing to make you go WOW. SAD. To make it depressing, the only lighting on the stage were some lights that you would expect to see at a 16th birthday party- he just DJed in the dark!
Then barely an hour into it and without notice, he waves Pauli P up on stage. I thought he was going to thank him for warming the crowd up, or even let him play a record during his set to honor Pauli. Then without a word Oakie left the stage. Did he go to the bathroom? Doubt it. Was he going to go flirt with the Brazilian girls? No, they were right next to me. Where did he go? Who knows, but when the crowd realized he was gone, they were shocked and dismayed.
Let me start off by being the first to officially ask Paul Oakenfold NEVER to visit San Diego again. Do not come to this town again, do not rip people's money off again, and do not insult us again. This DJ is on his last days, milking his name and fame for all it is worth before it is all gone, and I for one am not buying into it, nor will I allow him to get away with it. There are hundreds of A-list DJ's that make an effort and care about the crowd, and there are thousands of lesser known DJ's that really rock and put on a great show, so why would you give $35 to this guy to prance around on stage for just barely an hour (remember that's playing maybe 10 - 15 records)? Anyway, more about Oakie later.
Had it not been for The Crystal Method's amazing and consistent 110% performance, I think many people would have asked for their money back. I would have.
