Unlimited Nights & Weekends
The lost album out now!
Free Download & limited run of 500 vinyl
The legendary Tim Green produced Boyjazz album finally sees the light of day!
In 2006 Boyjazz went into Louder Studios to record their follow up album, the first to feature the now infamous live band. The result was Unlimited Nights & Weekends. Recorded and mixed all analog to tape by rock mastermind Tim Green, this collection of 10 original tracks showcases the boys in hi-fi majesty with all of the drama, power, and good times that only Boyjazz can deliver.
Long thought lost to delays and label woes, For Once Records is proud to finally release this buried treasure in pay-what-you-want download and 500 copy limited edition vinyl pressing! You heard right, Boyjazz's first and only vinyl release. Enjoy your 'jazz the way nature intended, with liner notes by Tim Green and old school LP jacket by Ronnie Shapiro. Don't miss out on your piece of rock'n'roll history!
"In The City Tonight"
The album that started it all!
“Arena rock for the indie kids.”
-- allmusic.com
“All about dealing out the short, sweet, swift ass kicking your rock needs require.”
--Aquarius Records
"Boyjazz play something like modern indie hard rock, minus the lame bits and plus a sense of humor"
-- San Francisco Bay Guardian
"'Dual Cat Action' is the thrift-store generation's new Glitter anthem, while 'Actual Heat' is a dance-floor shaker that doesn't indulge in any punk-funk bullshit."
-- Time Out NYC
Boyjazz began unwittingly in Berkeley, CA in the summer of 2002 when Sexmouth (Adam Hobbs) and Supertouch (Aaron Levin) stumbled upon the 2 minute and 28 second blitzkreig that is Potfinger in their makeshift bedroom studio. All who heard knew something special had happened and the duo returned to the "studio" with a new sense of purpose. Over the next year and a half they would record ten more blown out originals with the same old school guitars over electronic drum sound.
At the same time, Aaron & Adam knew they'd need a killer live show so they assembled a line up of the best players (and dudes) they knew featuring Eric "Stiff Digits" Murray on Lead Guitar, "Masculine" Dan Brubaker on Rhythm Guitar, and Alex "Clay Hunt" Pauley on Bass. Suddenly Boyjazz was a live band wowing audiences with an arena size for the dive bar crowd. In little time Boyjazz had made a name for themselves as one of the most exciting live bands in the Bay Area being named 2003 "Band To Watch" by The SF Bay Guardian.
The year 2004 saw the release of "In The City Tonight" on Frenetic Records to rave reviews. Hailed as a new brand of "arena rock for the indie kids", In The City Tonight garnered praise the world over and brought Boyjazz to a wider audience. Soon tracks like "Tuff Luv" had made their way into episodes of The Real World & Road Rules on MTV. "Lookin for You" was included in video game sensation Dance Dance Revolution (UltraMix 2) and the gig offers were lining up.
2005 found Boyjazz gigging heavily while working on new material for the follow up to In The City Tonight. This busy period saw Boyjazz do a series of national tours and play along side acts such as The Fucking Champs, Zombi, Mono, Metric, Thor, Zombi, Black Mountain, and Pearls & Brass to name a few.
By 2006 Boyjazz had enough new material to enter Louder Studios in San Francisco to record their follow-up with super producer and super bro Tim Green (Nation of Ulysees/The Fucking Champs). This would be the first album to feature the now infamous live band and great pains were taken to capture the band live to tape, all analog.
The result is Unlimited Nights & Weekends, ten new originals in hi-fi glory with all of the drama, power, & good times that you've come to expect. More unstoppable choruses. More ridiculously serious balls to the wall rock the way only The Jazz can do it. This is a tour de force by a band in their prime.
Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond their control Unlimited Nights & Weekends was shevled indefinitely . . . until today!
For Once Records is releasing a limited vinyl run of 500 copies of the long thought lost Boyjazz album Unlimited Nights and Weekends. With custom vintage cover art and liner notes by Mr. Rock himself Tim Green this is a one of a kind piece of rock history. Get your copy today only at boyjazz.bandcamp.com
"Boyjazz rocks like a m*therfucker!" -- Filter Magazine
"The opening band, Boyjazz, really creeped me out, especially the one member who seemed to wear nothing but a trench coat that came down to his knees. At one part of the show he did a high kick - it was not pretty. Those guys were out of control." -- from Capitol Records Message Board
