Product Description
Percolating with the nervous energy of the Talking Heads, the stuttering punk-funk of Gang of Four, and the pulsating synths of the Cars, Jupiter One injects colorless indie rock with a bracing rhythmic pulse, two-fisted pop hooks, and East Coast swagger. K Ishibashi and Zac Colwell, the founding members of Jupiter One, are no strangers to the rock n roll circus. In fact, that s sort of where they met.'It was like Barnum and Bailey but classier and only one ring,' Colwell says, remembering the bus-and-truck outfit he joined for a national tour in 2000. 'It was an amazing show with lots of superhuman people.' One of them turned out to be another musician Ishibashi, a young violin player who shared eclectic interests in Indian classical music, jazz, funk and the avant-garde. As Ishibashi now recalls, 'Zac was playing every woodwind imaginable (tenor sax, alto, flute, clarinet, sh'nai). We bonded in our love for soul and contemporary music, and that's really how Jupiter One started.' After the big top folded, the duo hunkered down in Zac s hometown of Austin before moving to New York in 2003 where Jupiter One would officially form. In New York K re-connected with girlfriend Mocha, a Japanese-born keyboardist and fellow violinist who also joined the group, adding a decidedly female perspective to the mix. Jupiter One further evolved with the arrival of drummer Dave Heilman, who rounds out their sound with the distinctive thump the quartet needed. Today, Jupiter One produce an electrifying, invigorating sound that recalls the pogo-party frenzy of the late 70s-early 80s underground club scene with a contemporary guitar punch that has drawn comparisons to the Killers, Franz Ferdinand, and Bloc Party. Their live shows are marked with a manic intensity, wowing audiences and gaining new fans with their boundless enthusiasm and irresistible charm.Listeners to Jupiter One's self-titled debut will immediately note that the musicians have no lack of punch. Even as they developed their sound in the immediate wake of guitar-oriented rock acts like The Strokes, the players heard a different style emerging from their incessant rehearsals and jam sessions. Listen to a standout track like Colwell s 'Kamikaze Pilot' and you can hear it fully realized: what begins as a classic 1960s smoky organ groove becomes ever more complex, the use of multiple keyboards lending rich, and sometimes mysterious, textures to the melody. Jupiter One s radio-ready debut single, 'Countdown,' summarizes the band s ability to transcend genre boundaries. Opening with a hypnotic, scrappy riff, the track builds up to a wall of fuzz until it soars into a dreamy, psychedelic haze, as if Wire had morphed into the Beatles. 'Countdown' is currently infecting college radio and websites around the globe and the band is quickly racking up new fans with its song placement in the popular video game, EA SPORTS Madden NFL 08. |

My favorite new music find of 2008! by Valerie Pace  5 Stars
December 05, 2008
I stumbled on this band while making a slideshow on Photobucket. I used their single 'Countdown' for my photos, then looked them up to hear what else they had. I was pleasantly surprised to find a very accomplished and talented band I had no idea even exsisted!
They are currently working on a second album, and I can hardly wait to hear what comes next from these folks! And I definitely plan to see them live next time they're in Seattle! Thanks Dave, Pat, Zac, K and Mocha!!

3 years later and it still sounds fresh--bonus track is a must have by Daniel W. Kelly (Long Island, NY United States) 5 Stars
August 31, 2008
Riding the wave of new wave influenced bands of the new millennium (Bravery, Killers, Presets, Epoxies, theSTART, Dragonette, etc), Jupiter One released this album independently several years ago. I discovered them when a remix of the awesome synthdance song "countdown" appeared on the thrivemix electro series. I immediately had to hear more of their music. A mix of the synth dance tracks and more guitar oriented alternative rock tracks, almost this entire album will keep you listening--and to have the album rereleased with two new tracks, including the awesome Synth dance track "Summer Song" included is a bonus. Now I just wish more of their singles would get notice and club remixes!!!

Sunshower can be rare occurrence, but when these opposing forces meet, magic and allure is in the

with timeless musical inspirations mesh together in a bittersweet indie-pop rock concoction produced

by Empire of the Sun
EMPIRE OF THE SUN is the new psychedelic project led by Australians Luke Steele (of The Sleepy Jackson) and Nick Littlemore (P'Nau). Exotic, gaudy, and lavish, Empire Of The Sun brings together these two unlikely collaborators from Australian pop, and so began a friendship which Luke describes as "this fireball of electricity". Walking On A Dream is a bold, visionary and brilliant album, which manages to sound exhilaratingly contemporary, audaciously forward-looking, yet also curiously...

They've toured with Against Me, The Loved Ones, and The Bouncing Souls. Their Side One Dummy debut reconciles their love of classic rock and soul icons Bruce Springsteen, Otis Redding, and Tom Petty with their NJ punk roots to create a unique musical amalgam.
