   About D'Jelly Brains
Janine grew up under a mushroom in the small German village of Bielefeld. After realizing that there was not much room there she decided that she needed a larger canvas. She came to the slightly larger Amerikan village of San Francisco. There she found a place for her and her dogs to live, a large tin can on wheels. One day she ran into John. When she said did that hurt he said "No, I'm used to being a VKTM". Realizing that they both had music in their blood along with other things they thought to band together.

Since she was always beating on things, like her head against walls, Janine knew that she must be a drummer. She said " Do you want to try your hand at guitar?" John spoke back, as he sometimes does,"Well, which one?" After that silly beginning they knew that they were jelly brains so they became D'Jelly Brains.

Of course, they needed something to base this on as well as having a bass. So they began turning over stones, leaves and seeds and stems to find such a thing or person. Finding a spore from space and opening it revealed a being named Jasret. He somehow knew bass but couldn't stay on Earth. Exploring further they found a wee sprout known to all as Austin and then a demon known as Dez. But all began to make sense when out the swamp came a Hessian named Tim! He was bassically from the same jelly mold and so came into the fold. Sadly Tim got Bit by something and was taken away for a spell but he's back. The legendary Andy Henning, who D'JBs had known for years came to the rescue for a while. Thanks Andy! It all works out for the best. We're back onto finishing our CD and have been writing songs faster than ever.

And so it was to be, the happy tribe of punkedelic pranksters played on 'til dawn.

This 4th of July come celebrate America's birthday with a little Peace Love and ROCK N ROLL!!

The Marina Music Festival honors the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock featuring a live musical tribute to Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Janis Joplin, The Who, and Creedence Clearwater Revival .

Hosted by Music Source at the luxurious Waterfront Marina Concert Hall, 4211 Admiralty Way, Marina Del Rey, CA 90292 featuring live performances, BBQ, art, fashion show, and of course a stellar Fourth of July FIREWORKS display. Show starts at 8PM

 
Proceeds will benefit the nonprofit Artistspalooza organization for the arts.

David Lockhart's painfully excessive capturing of the booze-swilling and constantly concupiscent Jim Morrison is an encyclopedic homage to the ethos of rock. Boudeeka's haunting accurate portrayal of Janis Joplin is a tribute to women in rock and the raw emotion that was so much a part of the scene. Carlton Poward is an almost frightening replica with his spot-on Jimi Hendrix characterization and inspired guitar playingšÃ‚

'Article for the short film "God is an Under Achiever" DJ MONKEY song /video by Dennis Schraub and Joey Alkes' 
Schraub and Alkes created two edits of the short film and choosing between them would be as unwelcome a task as choosing between Coltrane’s two edits of 'Ascension'.  The comparison is apt.  'God is an Underachiever' is as difficult, moving and inspiring in it’s right as the much written about late Coltrane.  - Al Eaker, in Fringe Cinema 4/2009

TORTUGA BAR - STORM EP (VIERSIEBEN RECORDS/FINETUNES) OUT NOW!



This online EP release (5 Tracks & Artwork) is not just an appetizer for the album which follows on June 26 - among the album versions of "Storm" (feat. Evan Dando) and "Feel the Love" it contains a remix of "Storm", made by labelmates Monocular, the track "Cavallo Pazzo (Song For Mondo Fumatore To Sing)" feat. Werner Kureinski, former member of Aheads and "Do It Right", a nice version of the Daniel Johnston song performed by Tortuga Bar and Navel.
