About

Description
FOJC's 2009 EP Head Go Whoosh featuring "Lola Like This" & "Hush Madame X" was recently released on July 21 and is now available at Itunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, and emusic. The lead track, “Lola Like This,” was remixed by heavy favorites such as Energy 92.7's Trevor Simpson from San Francisco, Haki from Mexico City who scored a big hit last year on Mexican radio with his remix of FOJC’s “Hot Sahara,” Rod Carrillo, the influential program director from Phoenix’s Energy 92.7 who was an early fan and supporter, and LA’s Dave Audé, the go-to pop dance remixer of the year having recently remixed Lady GaGa, Beyoncé and La Roux. These remixes are available on Lola Like This: The Apache Dance Remixes released in early August.

The band is best known for their 2008 single "Hot Sahara," which received national attention on the dance charts as well as featured spots on television shows The L Word, Ugly Betty, The Hills, and Samantha Who? "Hot Sahara" and the related album, Twist of the Banshees, were also on the prelist of nominations for two Grammy awards in the electronic dance category last year. Fans of Jimmy Century's infectious live sets have made them a favorite on the West Coast Pride/festival circuit, giving them the opportunity to share the stage with artists such as Cyndi Lauper, The English Beat, Lady GaGa, Shiny Toy Guns, Berlin, The Bird and the Bee, and The Presets.

"We're alterna-dance 'n' indie disco with a thing for black velvet paintings and beat poetry," says offbeat lead singer Alicia Perrone. "And we tend to write songs about introverted girls who transform into twisting banshees on the dance floor -- where they're lured by temptations that make their heads go whoosh."

“LOLA LIKE THIS” REMIXES are now starting to slide in. Lola’s been thumbing through that little black book and now her dance card is definitely full - remixers include Dave Aude, Trevor Simpson, Haki, Rod Carrillo, J. Paul & Slick Vic, Peter Brown, & Bellamy. Normally we wouldn’t go crazy with the remixes but Lola likes to play the field.

and in other news, we are happy to report that the FOJC budget for the "Lola Like This" video coming June/July 2009 is at an ALL-TIME LOW!!!! Luckily we are lovers of the LO-FI!!!! Get out the cheez whiz and duct tape, Ma, cuz we's a-gonna make a video!
hey EVERYONE,

THANKS so much for all of your work on the HOT SAHARA SONG ENTRY located on the Treasure Island Group Page (where the votes are needed most.)

Here is the link again for that:

Here's the link for that one:

Current mood: fuzzy

in the van on I-5 - traffic's a mess through
Washington.
sneaking around online is passing the time pretty well.
thank you for the comments on the Treasure Island Fest group page.
we're lucky & appreciative to be finalists.
it's helping us to forget all about the bus in the commute lane.
and the constant speed limit change from 70 back down to 60 back to 70 back down
to 60. what is that?
home by tomorrow night.
no way we'll make 13 more hours tonight.
Portland in 2 sounds good.
i wish i had a CB radio.
truckers are experts at mind melting off color word games to pass the time.

10-4 good buddy.

Guys! Thanks for uploading that on such short notice. I can't believe I never noticed that before, that the original wasn't even here and Imeem feeds into so much, you definitely want the original to be front and center where everyone can hear it! Love, JJ
