FOJC hit a fast start with the success of their first 2008 single, “Hot Sahara,” which climbed the dance and radio charts. Both “Hot Sahara” and its accompanying album, Twist of the Banshees, were on the initial ballot in the Electronic Dance category for the Grammy Awards in the same year.
“Hot Sahara,” and additional tracks, have been consistently selected for key placements in several popular television shows such as The L Word, Gossip Girl, Melrose Place, The Real Housewives of NYC, Running Russell Simmons, Community, Ugly Betty, The Hills, The Listener and Samantha Who?
Popular 2011 major feature film releases including Columbia Pictures’ Bad Teacher starring Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake, and Warner Bros.’ Hall Pass starring Owen Wilson featured “Hot Sahara,” “Lola Like This” and “Your Crying Game” in the DVD bonus features of both films this past summer. Popular brands and advertisers such as Roxy Europe, Forever 21 and Zippo Lighters have also used FOJC songs in commercial campaigns. In 2010, FOJC collaborated for LucasArts, assisting composer Mark Griskey with the new Star Wars video game.
Fans of Jimmy Century’s exciting and theatrical live performances have made them a favorite on the West Coast festival circuit, sharing the stage with artists such as Lady Gaga, Robyn, Cyndi Lauper, Shiny Toy Guns, The English Beat and Berlin. FOJC’s fans known as “Hotheads” have also been instrumental in social work, raising money for Haiti Earthquake relief, and gathering together through FOJC music purchases to assist future programs in need.

Time: 9 p.m.
Cost: $12 in advance, $17 day of show
Description: RJ is a native of Chicago’s south side and has been privileged to work solely and professionally as a musician for more than 15 years.

Artist: A Silent Film
Time: 10 p.m.

Set for a May 22, 2012 release, this exciting eleven-song collection continues to deliver the expansive pop rock that caught the attention of countless fans on the band’s debut album A City That Sleeps (2008).
Recorded in various studios in Arizona, Texas and London; there is a Beat Poetry-esque meter to Sand & Snow. Like a Brit-pop score to Jack Kerouac’s On The Road; the narrative flow coupled with propulsive bass lines and swooning symphonic melodies that dart in and out to punctuate the melodicism, is a snapshot of the creativity inspired by the band’s move from the UK. “In a way it feels like our story started when we got on a plane and came to America. We felt like it was somehow ready for us and we had something to offer.”
Sand & Snow documents this romance and self-discovery from a band with proven songwriting chops, and showcases a freshly confident depth in the songwriting.

Artist: dredg
Date: Saturday, July 30
Time: Midnight
Cost: $15
Description: Bay Area rock band dredg will soon release their new album, Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy, which is the fifth release in more than 15 years.
For nearly eight months, beginning last winter, the band members sent songs back and forth over e-mail, allowing the tracks to slowly build and layer under individual microscopes. The resulting album is almost like opening a new chapter of a book. The players are familiar and it still sounds like the work of the same artist, but the tones have shifted and the setting’s changed.
Although the tones and pacing shift as the album progresses, the songs all fall under the category of what Hayes calls “dark pop.” “The Thought of Losing You,” driven by a surging guitar riff, achieves emotional depth through simplicity rather than over-complication, while “Upon Returning” pairs rough-edged guitars with Hayes’ ambient vocals that soar in juxtaposition with the grinding instrumentals. A shadowed mood hovers under the music, lending a sense of pensive introspection to the songs, but in the end the album emerges as a beacon of optimism.
