Chip Taylor is now a Jingle Punk

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Last night the Jingle Punks crew had the honor of dining with Chip Taylor (writer of Wild Thing, Angel of The Morning and too many other hits to mention. For a quick lesson on Chip I encourage you to read his fascinating bio or check out the clip below (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_Taylor).

After taking Chip to our “fancy” offices, and me accidentally dropping a lemon in his drink and almost getting caught trying to fish it out as I tried to get him to look behind him, Chip somehow agreed to let Jingle Punks represent his current roster of songs and artists. He said he “liked our energy”  and also said our little jingle offices reminded him of the early days of rock n roll when he was breaking all the rules.  Chip is one of a kind and has brought us several amazing records that we are looking forward to placing in films, commercials and high quality shows. Some acts on his label that we are fired up about include Kendel Carson, Carrie Rodriguez and John Platania (Van Morrison’s famed guitar player.

We welcome Chip to the team and look forward to working with a man who is not only a legend but continues to make quality music and the type of music that the Jingle Punks team is passionate about.

Angels & Kings launch party

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009
Last night was an amazing night for the Jingle Punks team. We had our 09 launch at Angels & Kings. Many of our clients and composers turned out for this event. We hope this will be the start of a very fun year. Our goal is to create a culture around the Jingle Punks brand and bring all sorts of creative types together. Check out some of the highlights from last night and come find us on Facebook so you don’t miss out on the next Jingle bash.
Up next for Jingle Punks is MTV’s Engaged & Underage. Jingle Punks was asked to provide our library as well as custom elements for the re-brand of this popular series. We will post clips as soon as shows have air dates.

Underdog to Wonderdog

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

Jingle Punks was chosen by Sharp Entertainment (the people who brought us The Fabulous Life series) to do a theme song for a new show on Animal Planet. (see press release and show open below)

There’s nothing more heartbreaking than looking into the sad, helpless eyes of an abandoned stray dog that hasn’t been adopted from a shelter. Animal Planet’s new series UNDERDOG TO WONDERDOG takes that same stray shelter pup and turns its four-legged life completely around.  Our very own Doggie Wonder Team comes to the rescue when they snatch that dog from its formerly miserable existence and transplant it into its very own Cinderella fairytale! 

Each stray will be rescued and rehabilitated, trained, primped, pampered and finally placed into a loving home that’s been specifically designed and decorated to fit its personal doggie needs—including a custom-designed dog house from our Canine Carpenter!

 

UNDERDOG TO WONDERDOG is taking the pet makeover to unbelievable new heights and going to the ultimate limits to help these down-on-their-luck pups hit the lottery with total life-changing makeovers from head to tail.

It aired Jan 3 at 8pm and will be in primetime in this slot for the run of the show.
Check it out!
