Jelly of the Month Club Background:
With Bud Gaugh of the original Sublime on drums, the band features an extremely wide variety of instruments played by the other 4 members. Mr. Crumb on Vocals/Piano/Organ, Bert Susanka of The Ziggens, on Vocals/Guitar, Mic Dangerously of Zen Robbi on Vocals/Lead Guitar/Bass and Todd Forman of 3rd Alley, who is also known as Sublime’s original saxophone player, help complete this super-group with horns & back up vocals.
The idea to form JOTMC came in 2012 when Todd and Bert decided they wanted to play music for fun with members of different bands they had worked with throughout their careers. Todd continues by explaining “Another goal was that we did not want to “baby down” our music. We feel we’ve been successful at creating songs and music that are universal and will be enjoyed by all.”
According to the band, their main focus is “writing fun G rated music, the type of fun for the whole family!” Their debut album, “Introducing: Jelly Of The Month Club,” is set to drop on Tuesday, October 8th. Once the band solidified, they began writing with a focus on some good, clean, G-Rated music for all ages. Mic Dangerously adds in “Yes, Jelly of the Month Club is a band that plays music for children, but trust me when I say it is fun for the whole family, I promise you’ll dig it too Mom and Dad!”
JOTMC chose Cameron Schuyler of Empire Design to create the album artwork. Mic had this to say about the band’s choice, “Cameron is going to be huge one day and I wanted to say we got to work with him before he became a superstar.”
Cameron explains, “The concept was that each band member were to be caricatures that represent parts of songs on the album. I was inspired by a photograph that I’d seen of the band on their Facebook page and Mic D was gracious enough to let me hear some of the new tracks before I dove into the sketch phase.”
On October 8th, JOTMC’s album drops and they will be playing an album release party with 2 sets (6pm & 9pm) at DiPiazzas in Long Beach, CA!
