I Love Monsters

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

So, one of our favorite bands, I Love Monsters is having the best week ever.
First off…They are headlining Mercury Lounge June 30th at 9:30. So anyone who wants to see something awesome should swing by.

If you need a reason to believe why they are awesome check this out…They landed in the season premiere of Entourage on HBO (ok We helped make that happen…just wanted to toot our own horn..hehe)

Thirdly, we just started a series about Jingle Punks artists playing in odd places. We have selected I Love Monsters as the test band for this pilot program…so look for clips from this soon…In the meantime feast your eyes on this excellent clip from Entourage featuring your new favorite band.

Funny or Die Presents

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Over a year ago HBO came to Jingle Punks asking for an authentic mariachi song for their new series “Funny or Die Presents,” a show so funny, so awesome that it cannot be aptly described in this one blog alone – but we’re sure gonna try!

Anyways… for this project Jingle Punks called in reinforcements – we enlisted the help of Barry Danielian (Tower of Power) and Ozzie Melendez (Marc Anthony) along with Jingle Jared on guitar and bass and came up with a track that’s so amazing we want to show it off to you. If you recall (and I’m sure you do!) our earlier blogs about recording the authentic Mexican band… it should be noted that they were initially brought onto the project but the client eventually opted for a different direction with Jared writing comical lyrics and Ozzie translating and singing them in Spanish. What was produced can only be summed up in a single word – magic. Check it out.

Video JingleBlogs are here!

Well, for some time now our friends and even some of our clients, Mom’s and Dad’s have been asking Dan and I to document some of our day to day activities so they could get a sense of what it is we actually do here at Jingle Punks all day.

These first videos will not make anything clear except for the fact that everyday is completely different for us.

Some days we are recording with street musicians in Brooklyn…

Other days we are in LA taking rapid fire meetings to get our roster of artists placed in shows…
