thank u guys for the attention on our page. it's pushed us up to 12 on the electro charts, 20 on the electronica charts and 6 on the new wave charts overall. but, once again, i know it's just my shoes that make u guys come back for more. chart positions change, but pimp shoes last forever. SF's electronic/alternative dance duo, Fans of Jimmy Century, release groovy, tasty tracks delivered with ease and a natural unique appeal, bringing to mind Goldfrapp, Dee-Lite, and The Eurythmics. However, their own distinctive out of the box flair is charming and apparent. The duo of vocalist/composer Alicia Peron and musician/composer Victor James played the SF bay area club scene in several popular bay area bands, one of which was discovered by Ric Ocasek during his A&R stint at Elektra Records. But feeling a natural pull toward the electronic/dance genre, FOJC was born October 2006. In 2008 FOJC builds momentum with top TV placement of their debut single "Hot Sahara" in "The L Word" (Episode 504) during a steamy scene gaining good buzz on the internet - a scene which has now been dubbed the "Hot Sahara Scene," by L Word fanatics. FOJC's full-length CD "Twist of the Banshees" was released on Itunes in December 2007 and worldwide radio promotion began with top radio promoter Promo Only Promotions in March to launch the first single, "Hot Sahara." Early radio adds & airplay include 92.7 Energy San Francisco, 92.7 Energy Phoenix, Pulse 87 New York, iPartyRadio, and WBZC/Pemberton, NJ. In May 2008 Hot Sahara broke into the top 40 in radio industry chart FMQB at 31 rising to 23 the very next week, positioning Hot Sahara as the song of the summer & quadrupling sales at Itunes. Tracks from the CD are also featured in "Ugly Betty," "Samantha Who," and "The Hills." DJ Ron Slomowicz, journalist for Dancemusic.About.com gave FOJC the nod for "global domination in 2008" after listing Hot Sahara as one of the Top 10 most played & buzzed about songs at Winter Music Conference 2008. FOJC was selected to perform by 4 of the top Pride Festivals in the nation: SF, San Diego, Santa Cruz, and Vancouver, B.C. w/ many upcoming festival/club dates throughout America including the DJ Expo in Atlantic City where they were featured as panelists on the "Artists Panel: Clubland's Hitmakers" alongside dance sensations Jes, Lady GaGa, & Chris Willis as well as upcoming performances at Folsom Street Fair and Harrison Street Fair in SF. They were currently chosen as a Top 10 Finalist out of 1000 entries to play the Treasure Island Music Festival in SF on 9/20 sharing the stage with Goldfrapp, Justice, Hot Chip, and TV on the Radio.
