JP + History = Invention USA

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Invention USA

This Friday night at 10p EST, History is premiering their latest series, Invention USA! Jingle Punks had a hand in the music for this series and we recommend that all our artists tune in. The series will is hosted by Garrett Lisi and Reichart Von Wolfsheild who search the U.S. looking for the next great invention. Here’s History’s overview of the series:

For centuries, America has been an engine of invention and innovation, creating technology that has shaped world history. From Ben Franklin to the Wright brothers, from Thomas Edison to Steve Jobs, the United States has been a constant generator of revolutionary ideas. To this day, in basements and backyards around the country, Americans are striving to turn their dreams into the next big thing.

Invention USA follows Reichart Von Wolfsheild and Garrett Lisi, both innovators and scientists with ties to investors, as they go in search of the next breakthrough invention. Whether they’re traveling the country to visit garage innovators at home or meeting with inventors at their Los Angeles testing lab, Reichart and Garrett will put prototypes to the test and give a tough, no-nonsense evaluation of each invention’s potential. If they like what they see, they’ll invest to help bring the product to market. The stakes are high and dreams are on the line: Every idea has the potential to change someone’s life… or even the world.

Be sure to tune in this Friday 12/9 at 10/9c for the series premiere and check out the SNEAK PEEK. Cheers!

JPHO at Rockwood Music Hall: Photo Recap

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

JPHO @ Rockwood Music Hall

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!).

Cheers & Happy Holidays!

JP x PureThinking

Recently Pure-Brand.com featured Jingle Punks in it’s PureThinking blog in a post titled “The Appeal of Interagency Music Sharing“. The writer of this post, Ryan Arnold, makes some great observations about how sharing music (or better yet playlists) between companies can be a good thing. He goes on to discuss how JP is taking our Hipster Orchestra to Ad Agencies and compared our Jingle Player to Spotify (Very high praise!). This is a very interesting read and we recommend checking it once you get a chance.
