Jay Funk Dawg Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 [blurb] NXNE SHOWCASE WEEKEND JSB: THE JIMMY SWIFT BAND www.thejimmyswiftband.com www.myspace.com/tjsb w/ THE REASON, HONEY TUPELO and more 12:00AM LEE'S PALACE TORONTO, ON HEADLINING "THE AGENCY GROUP's" NXNE SHOWCASE NIGHT, JSB is poised to take the industry by storm with their new sound and upcomming album. Forging their own path in Canadian Music for the past six years. During this time their energetic and improvisational live show has helped the band develop a cult like following throughout the country. They have performed 200 + shows a year for the past three years - selling out venues and packing dance floors across North America. The JSB sound is so original that critics and fans have come up with a new genre to define it - Rocktronica. [/blurb] Coming out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, JSB consists of Craig Mercer on guitar, vocals, and effects, Aaron Collier on keyboards and effects, Mike MacDougall on bass, and Nick Wombolt on drums. Each member brings their own strengths to a powerful sound which is greater than the sum of its parts. Their influences range from Daft Punk to Pink Floyd to Guns and Roses, and they meld aspects of these sounds together to create their original Rocktronica. JSB are currently completing the recording of their third studio album, scheduled for release in May of 2006. "I feel like we have captured the energy of our live show on record for the first time", says Mercer. "I was unsure that we could get the feeling of hearing the band live across in a studio setting, but i think we have done it with this album. I am looking forward to getting back on the road and sharing it with our fans." JSB begin an extensive Canada / US tour and in July they will release their new album.
