The Jons completed their debut album, Wine at the Hilltop, in the fall of 2002 and kept busy playing at many of the popular bars and venues around Tucson. After a successful west coast tour, The Jons began to attract bigger venues and audiences enamored by their blazing horn section and ability to rock in both English and Spanish at any given moment.
With a complete band of 6 members and an arsenal of original music, The Jons have formed a cohesion that has allowed incredible accomplishments. They have played with the likes of,The English Beat,The Dismemberment Plan, the Gin Blossoms,Seether, Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers, Oh My God and international acts such as El TRI,Alex Lora,FOBiA,Alejandro Marcovich of Caifanes,Cafe Tacuba,KINKY,Los Amigos Invicibles,Babasonicos,Nortec Collective, Resorte, Aleks Syntek, Alejandra Guzman, and Enanitos Verdes. The Jons are currently in the process of recording their 4th studio album.
I hope all you guys are still united by the power of cheeseburgers. Big, fat, greasy cheeseburgers. If you get enough of them you can build a house, dam, corporate building to take over the world. Solve world hunger. Feed you pets and condition you hair. Food fights everyday. But if your lactose intolerant. Then simply pull out the cheese and then it's a whole new world. The skies the limit. Until you heart explodes but wasn't the ride worth it. I think so.
Happy Cheeseburger Day! I have no idea what day that lands on but who gives a shit.
This Saturday night we are throwing a Halloween Party at the Orpheum with Yin Yang and Zen Some. Sedona superfreaks Yin Yang and Zen Some know how to throw a party. Its actually impossible to convince them not to dress up in costumes during the 364 days of the year that are not Halloween. That's why we thought that they would be a particularly appropriate band to play Halloween. YYZS plays a an eclectic mix of music, focusing on 80s songs that don't suck (think New Wave, Talking Heads, etc...). So put on your freakiest outfit and come down to the Orpheum to dance. Bwahahahahaha!
