For those that missed the Jingle Punks Holiday Kickoff Party last Friday, December 2, at Rockwood Music Hall, you missed one helluva performance! The Jingle Punks Hipster Orchestra kicked off the night with an hour long set that featured tunes from both of their recently released albums. The friend and fans in attendance were so enamored with their performance of the Hipsters, that they basically begged them to play an encore before leaving . Both JP artists and clients were in the house ready to kick off the holiday season and the atmosphere was warm and festive. Those in attendance received Jingle Punks swag including silly bands, buttons, and t-shirts along with an exceptional performance. Below is a photo recap of the night (video coming soon!).
Check out the latest edition of our new artist-centered video series, Live @ Jingle Punks. This edition features Toby “Pailboy” Wincorn, a West Coast JP artist that was in NYC and stopped by to showcase one of his latest tunes, “Someone New”. We were very happy to have Toby stop by and we hope you enjoy his performance as much as we did. Cheers!

With the NFL lockout officially over for only minutes, ESPN, as is their custom as the “Worldwide Leader in Sports,” was all over it with the release of their latest viral ad “The Evolution of the Touchdown Dance”. The ad is a part of ESPN’s ongoing “It’s not crazy, it’s sports” campaign and features viral video star, Judson Laipply (The Evolution of Dance 1 & 2), performing 23 end zone celebrations to a Jingle Punks produced soundbed. It was commissioned by the ad agency Weiden + Kennedy and launched on ESPN’s social sites and YouTube channel just minutes after the news broke that the lockout was over. Check it out below.

In case you missed it last night, the Jingle Punks Hipster Orchestra performed their cover of The Black Keys “Tighten Up” on Last Call with Carson Daly. This is the Hipster’s second appearance on the late-night talk show, the first came when they performed their sensational cover of The Strokes “Under Cover of Darkness. If you liked that clip, check out the Orchestra’s full performance below.
Your dinner parties needn’t be plagued by that crap Hotel Costes compilation that used to get you laid ten years ago. Introducing – The Strokes “Under Cover Of Darkness” done with a bit of strings, a lot of soul and a little something special. The brainchild of our own Jingle Jared with help, talent and (let’s face it) most of the musical know-how and education provided by the lovely and talented String Section.
Note Jingle Jared plucking away on the Mandolin and your friendly, humble and completely bad-ass Head Music Supervisor Shota Ike opening our crusty tear-ducts with some soul on the violin.
It’s time to rock – gently, cooly – and still so. Expect more of these and, in the meantime, keep that 85 Bordeaux opening up, that Foie Gras properly fruit-glazed and those amazing Jalepeno-flavored Doritos on tap for your next supper-time eating adventure.
Jingle Punks newest musical stunt tackles one of our favorite Strokes tunes of all time. Please watch, enjoy and share.
So…Jingle Punks are now officially famous in their own minds and on TV. Check out the first of many musical stunts that NBC has asked the Jingle Punks All Stars to do. In this go at it the Punks take to the streets of NYC to do a country-fied cover of LaRoux’s Bulletproof. We hope you dig this and keep our viral nonsense spreading!
