So, we’re pretty sure that the Sundance Film Festival might be more appropriately called The ‘hey you, are you trying to sleep? seriously? good luck, sucker’…Festival. Don’t get us wrong, the beauty of Park City, the positive vibe on Main Street, the pizza at Red Banjo, and the astonishing population of creative artists are all overwhelming. But the exponential go-go-go is downright amazing. Thank heaven for bourbon and hot chocolate.

On Wednesday, we played a show at the Sidecar Bar for the fantastic folks of the environmentally wise Green Initiative, who not only put us up in an beautiful ski chateau with incredible views of the snow dusted Rockies, but also loaned us a car so we could haul our butts and gear around throughout Park City! Later in the day, after a round of beers and some pizza-pie that rivaled the best of NYC, we headed - along with our wonderful friends Caroline and JT - to play two sets for the New York Film Commission, who threw a HUGE party at a mansion in the mountains. This house was so gigantic and luxurious that it had a basketball court in the basement, mountain scenes carved into the doors, a full bar in the basement, and no less than 3000 square feet of deck space. Needless to say, we were floored. We played two long sets and put the party to sleep around 4AM when we hopped in a van and went bleary-eyed to the airport.

It was the most delightful whirlwind we’ve every been pummeled by.

Mark you calendars: it is sooooo on. The JSB invade The Mercury Lounge next Monday, 1/21 with our friends in Frauke for a night of relentless MLK day revelry. Don’t miss it as we strut our way through your favorite JSB tunes about heartache, headache, and “a lonely gay zombie searching for love and meaning in contemporary Berlin.”

OK fair enough. So we’ve never actually written a song about that last topic. We’re just practicing for our appearances at Sundance. The ever witty Amelie Gillette (writer of the Onion’s blog The Hater), has some great suggestions on how to make anything relevent and Sundance-appropriate. Check them out HERE.

We’re trying extra hard to be film-star cool as we’ll be traveling by plane the day after The Mercury Lounge gig to the land of ski and bunny to play a quaint little Redford festival called Sundance. If you’re in Utah, please come out and say hello as we’ll be playing a showcase at the Sidecar Bar in the afternoon, and then a knock em’ down, drag em’ out VIP party in the evening.

So the gist, boiled down and trimmed of verbose fat via an exceedingly expensive liposuction and lift procedure: Unless you’ll be in Utah on Wednesday, get thee to the Mercury Lounge on Monday 1/21.

Because skiing isn’t just for athletes - it’s for crazy folks too,
