   About The Jim Dandies
Hailing from various parts of Pittsburgh, The Jim Dandies are made up of Nathan, who sloppily plays bass and tries to sing, Shawn, who skillfully plays the drums and insists "it's not really THAT bad", Josh, whose vast musical talents are wasted on simple 4 note songs about giant robots and funeral homes, and Marney who rose from the ranks of "that guy whose at every show" to "that guy who now plays guitar and drums with us". The Jim Dandies prefer to keep their band practices to an absolute minimum so their audience can observe the creative process of musical refinement through public performance. Hopefully, that's a good enough excuse for what you'll hear. The Jim Dandies promise to rock your socks off, then return said "rocked socks" to you washed and neatly folded. If for any reason you are not fully satisfied with velocity and / or completeness in which your socks are removed via rocking, please return the un-rocked portion for a full refund.

Here's a song from one of our 3 practices:

It has been a long while! ...And sadly, even as fun as a "special" acoustic show sounds, it'll have to be even longer as we can't possibly make it tomorrow either. :(

ps... poor cheesy boiger.

I'm sad to say we're probably not going to make to the show tonight.
We don't see too many shows in general, I don't think... But it seems whenever there is something, it coincides with something else.

I hope more is to come, without coincidence of stuffs.

isn't it about time someone writes a book about your band...... the trials and tribulations of the jim dandies from start to finish..... by jammie tvrdovsky. follow the band through their struggles and hardships..... a new drummer and a change of names..... what will become of the haunted lunchbox formerly known as the jim dandies? tee shirts and live footage sky rocket in price as fans run to grab a copy......

my 5 year old's new favorite song is "Darth Vader in High School". She wants me to repeat play it every time we are in the car!!!!!!

I'm so glad because the only other "music person" she ever talks about is Taylor Swift, and thats just WRONG!

Thanks!

That guy was getting rather friendly. Now we're married and have a litter on the way.

Glad we could make it! Erm... for the show, not for friendly drunk guy.
