Gruffalo Tour starts this week!!

The upside to continually writing two and a half minute pop songs is that our set list always looks bloody enormous, as if we’re going to play until the early hours of the morning. We can assure that’s not the case. The best part about having two records worth of material to choose from means we get to play a shit load of songs and not overstay our welcome.

This is close to what we’ll be playing on the Gruffalo tour but it’ll definitely change before we get to to the first show.

The tour starts this Thursday night in Canberra at The Phoenix Bar. The following night we play Maitland and then Saturday night in Sydney at The Lansdowne. All 3 shows are absolutely FREE ENTRY and we putting together a monster of a set list, lots of songs from both of our records. We also tackle Adelaide, WA and Melbourne in the following weeks and more than anything we’d love to see you at a show.

Don’t be shy. Come up and say hello. Keen to meet ya!

Way Superior Summer

This month we want to do a few acoustic performances in people’s backyards / living rooms. Would you be keen on having us come you YOUR house for a show? BBQ, beer, music and really good times. We’d probably film it too.

We’re keen to do as many of these acoustic shows as we can. If you want us to come to your place email us at mail@jonesez.com.au with your location and we can chat about how we can make it happen. This time we’re just keeping it to Melbourne and Sydney but we hope to do other cities later on. So far we have 3 shows locked in but there’s heaps of time for more!

Want Jonesez to play at your house?

Get in touch at mail@jonesez.com.au if you want us to come. We’ll do our best!

Venturing out into the un-Gnome

Here it is! Our first non-Basement video… err… video. We are particularly happy with this one. We can’t tell you how hard it was to make this kind of clip. When we all get together and there’s a camera rolling it’s hard not to do what comes natural to us (act like idiots and continually take the piss out of each other). If we had’ve, we would have ended up with a clip similar to Magic Beans. As you will see it’s very different to MB but we love even more. Tell us what you think & share it around if you dig it.

Merry Christmas Xx

Way Superior

Way Superior Overalls

Last weekend we celebrated the release of our new record the best way we knew how. We shot a music video. It’s for a song called Way Superior and we all agree it’s our favourite Gruffalo track. This film clip sees us for the first time out of our usual video making comfort zone that is the basement and out into the real world.

Way Superior is also now up on out Triple J Unearthed page and is available for free download. Check it out and leave us a review if you dig it as much as we do.

Cheers to everyone who had already picked up a copy of Gruffalo. We hope to see all of you at our album launch at The Bendigo Hotel next Friday night.

Got any Gnomes?

Can you find some friends for me?

Melbourne friends! We need your help!!

In a few weeks we will be shooting a film clip for a new song called Way Superior. Without giving too much of the plot away we need as many garden gnomes as we can get our grubby hands on, all shapes & sizes. Collectively, we have exactly zero gnomes between us. However, we do have a car so we can drive out and collect your gnome and return it safely.
We would be forever grateful & we’ll figure out a cool way to say thanks. Maybe we will do a credit roll at the end of the clip listing all those who helped. Something like that, anyway!

If you can help, please send a photo of your gnome and your name & address to info@jonesez.com.au

And the winner is…
