Hello lovelies,

May, while it’s kept us away from the public eye, has been a busy month for the JSB.  We’ve been sifting and sorting, weighing ingredients, kneading and pulling, and cautiously feeding Danny to see if our experiments work (he’ll eat just about anything)!  We’ve been doing some great homecooking, perfecting a number of recipes we can’t wait to tell you about! We’re planning a big summer to share with you!!

But we’ll save those tales for another date.

And we know:  hiding away like that in our kitchens.  We’ve neglected you!

But no more: we’re back on the scene (insert James Brown reference here), and ready to tear up the Mercury Lounge stage this Sunday, 6/1.  Come on out and get a wee supermarket sampler of what we’ve been cooking up for your pleasure…

Specs:
Sunday 6/1 - 7pm
The Mercury Lounge - 217 E. Houston
$10 advance tickets / $12 at the door

Hello lovelies,

It’s that time again… Switch over your wardrobe to those foxy spring skirts, take a deep breath and gulp down the pheremones NYC is swimming in, and come join us this Saturday at midnight as the Jones Street Boys howl at the midnight moon from the Pianos stage. Come an hour early and make our friends from Atlanta, The Howlies, feel welcome. They (and we) will keep it rowdy. We promise.

Hello again lovelies,

The Jones Street Boys are officially back in action and will be performing this Friday on an amazing bill that includes Dawn Landes and Freedy Johnston. We’re super geeked to start off a night of great music at the one and only Housing Works as part of their benefit concert series Live from Home.

“The intimate setting of Live From Home provides both the audience and the artist with a unique and unforgettable experience. Funds raised from the concert series benefit Housing Works, which serves homeless New Yorkers living with HIV and AIDS.”

Tickets are $20 and can be purchased in advance on the Live from Home website or at the door.

Wait… What’s that you say?  You were saving your last $20 for ramen and peanut butter?  Pshaw!  Not only does that $20 cover get you a night of great music, but it gets you ALL THE BEER YOU CAN GUZZLE!!  And this ain’t no discothèque with a short little happy hour to get all of you pretty gazelles in the door.  The free beer will flow ALL NIGHT LONG.  Giddeeup.

Hi all,

Just wanted to keep you, our lovely fans and friends, up to date on the latest in Jones Street Boys news.

First up, we’ve uploaded some live tracks from a Dec performance on Milwaukee’s favorite radio station WMSE. It’s a Myspace exclusive, so check out our barnburner version of “Last Time” and a tender rockin’ exclusive of “Slow Lights” a song that’s been a much beloved part our live show but hasn’t been available for you to listen to at home untill now. Which leads us to…

The JSB have been locked up throughout March with our thinking caps and typewriters running full-tilt as we compose the last delicious moments of our 2nd record. That’s right: the JSB will start recording in May! We’re so stoked to take our favorites from the live show (like “Slow Lights”) and these newly-birthed beauties and put them on tape for you to enjoy.

Can’t wait for the record to come out to hear what we’ve been cooking? We’ll be taking these newbies for a test drive as we venture out of our writing bubbles, strap back on our instruments, and take back the streets of New York. “Warriors… Come out to Plaaaayyy…” Come out on Wednesday 4/9 and Thursday 4/10 and have a listen. Yeah, it’ll be cool to see us play again, but that imperitive is really about us being selfish: it’s been too long and we miss you!!

We’ll be heading back to two different venues we’ve enjoyed in the past. Wednesday, 4/9 we’ll be performing in Alphabet City at Rehab (formerly Midway) @ 9pm with Max, The Antlers, and Ladyfingers ($8 cover). Then the following night we’ll be taking the stage at Williamsburg’s Soundfix with our friends in town from Tennessee, Those Darlins. They’ll be kicking off the free show @ 8pm. If we’re lucky, they’ll bring their stomp board with them and stomp all over your hearts!

Because March filled up so quickly with rain,

These famous robots have got nothing on us. We’re ever evolving and ever improving just like them! We’ve got a brand new Facebook page for you to peruse, our website is now fully interactive so you can leave comments on our blog about Sundance and anything else you’re feeling, and we’re learning to use our robotic proboscises to hack undetected into Diebold voting machines. What power!

OK. Maybe we’re not the best robots. Sometimes we cry alot. We’re really just 5 dudes who like to carve designs out of hair on our faces.

But we are nothing if not party machines. And this Saturday we’re going to throw down Birthday style: Aquarii unite!! In honor of the new grey hair on Walt’s head and the sudden dignified air that surrounds publicist Bonnie Hannah, we’re throwing them a show. I mean, we’re throwing them a party that’s really a show! Yipes.

Oh, and it’s free. Come tip a glass with us.

Saturday 2/9 @ Midway - 9:30pm

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,

OK, it’s all here. The Jones Street Boys will hit the pavement (no ice jokes please) and are invading the Midwest next week. We’re so excited to see old friends and make new ones and mostly – to rock our way through the Midwest! It all starts this Saturday when Danny makes an appearance on KDHX 88.1, 11AM Central Time. He’ll be talking about The JSB on Keith Dudding’s DOWN YONDER program. Then on Monday night we’ll load up the car, say goodbye to our NYC amigos, leave the faucets dripping slightly to prevent frozen pipes, and hightail it out of Brooklyn!

Here’s a rough rundown of the next few weeks for the JSB. For in depth details, take a look at www.myspace.com/thejonesstreetboys.

12/15 - Danny on KDHX
12/18 - The Basement, Nashville TN
12/19 - Uncle Fester’s, Bloomington IN
12/20 - WSME Radio Interview/Live Performance - 4:30 CST
12/20 - Shank Hall, Milwaukee WI
12/21 - Beat Kitchen, Chicago IL
12/22 - The Old Rock House, St. Louis MO
12/23 - Canal Street Tavern, Dayton OH

While we’re driving and desperately trying to convince Jon that stopping at White Castle is a terrible idea for everyone involved, we’ll keep a tour diary on www.thejonesstreetboys.com. Check out the website for brand new blog entries and tales of the tour. I promise to keep references to our collective body odors to a minimum.

And one last point of order: Thank you Thank you Thank you friends and friends of friends and everyone out there who voted and forwarded emails and sent people to the Deli’s website to make The JSB The Deli Magazine’s Artist of the Month. From the bottom of our instruments, thank you.

We’ll see you in Flyover State territory! Happy Holidays.

The JSB

OK Nature lovers: you’ve got two more chances to catch a little of The Jones Street Boys wildlife as they perform in their natural habitat. Come see them hunt down those gentle gazelle tunes and then tear them apart before your very eyes and ears. Enjoy yourself, but for your own safety keep your arms and legs inside the car and don’t make eye contact!
