Against Me!, Alkaline Trio, Death on Two Wheels, SantaCon, and Joey Ramone

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 03:00:00 +0000

As we approach the end of the year on our new broadcast home, we thought it only fitting to feature what you – the proud and passionate JBTV viewers – have called your favorites of 2010.

Leading the views and votes is Against Me’s interview with JBTV host Brendan Kelly and their performance on our HD sound stage. Shot the afternoon of July 3, while the band was in town supporting Silversun Pickups at the Aragon Ballroom, Against Me! blisters through a stripped down set of anthemic pop-punk singalongs including pre-New Wave faves “Pints of Guiness Make You Strong” and “I Was a Teenage Anarchist,” as well as material from their latest release, White Crosses.

In the audience that day was WWE Superstar, CM Punk. Never one to shy from cameras, Punk obliged when we asked him to shoot a post-show interview. Trust us – you don’t need to be a WWE fan or follower to appreciate this former world champ’s reminiscence on growing up watching JBTV and attending sweaty, sold-out shows at Metro as a youngster.

Our friends from Atlanta, Death on Two Wheels, have been such a steadily requested segment since the band delivered this staggering in-studio performance last Spring that it only makes sense to bring them back for another wicked run on JBTV. On the road in support of their most recent EP, Again for The First Time, Do2W offers up their powerful blend of classic and modern rock, fronted by one of the most dynamic personalities (Trae Vedder) making music today. We dare you to watch this segment and not look to see when Death on Two Wheels is coming to town.

Also this week –

Host Tobias Jeg is live at the 2010 Vans Warped Tour with Dan and Derek from Alkaline Trio. Wondering if last week’s JBTV exclusive segment with Matt Skiba at Bottom Lounge triggered a ton of Trio love? Either way, we heard from a lot of you asking us to feature anything and everything Alkaline Trio from 2010. Done.

Toby and Brendan are both on double duty this week as the Static Age duo invades Santacon Chicago. For those unfamiliar, Santacon is an annual gathering of Chicagoans dressed as Santa Claus, spreading good tidings while on a city-wide bar crawl. Hundreds of Santas. Drunk, jolly Santas and right on time for Christmas.

Jerry Bryant revisits his classic JBTV in-studio segment with Joey Ramone. As many times as we watch this, we never grow tired of hearing Ramone pledge his deep-rooted hatred of the “bee girl” from the Blind Melon video. It’s a rare, awesome piece of footage from the JBTV 25-year archives and it’s back by popular demand!

Because you can realistically watch A Christmas Story 4, maybe 5, times before you can recite each line along with the movie on Christmas Day, JBTV’s got ya covered. 9 PM. NBC Chicago Nonstop (5.2). December 25th.

Thank you for making 2010 the greatest year in JBTV history! Have a safe and happy Christmas from our family to yours.

Circa Survive, Steel Train, Slayer, The Do, A Day To Remember, John Lydon (12.18.2010)

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 02:00:00 +0000

In our two featured artist segments this week, Jerry Bryant welcomes Steel Train and I host Circa Survive inside the historic JBTV studios.

Circa filmed this incredible afternoon session on our 9-cam, high def sound stage a few weeks back, before their sold-out Chicago show at House of Blues. I’ve always enjoyed their music, but somehow avoided crossing paths with them for an interview or general hangs until now. Based on accounts from our mutual friends in Madina Lake, I knew going in they’d be good dudes. And after spending the day with them (topics of conversation included parenthood and inspiring performers), I can confirm that supporting Circa Survive is support well spent. During the performance, their singer Anthony Green asked our JBTV studio audience, “Who’s coming to our show later tonight?” A handful of kids said they couldn’t get tickets in time and they’re now selling for a few hundred bucks a pop on StubHub. In one of the cooler moves I’ve ever seen an artist pull, Anthony took their names and added them to the band’s guest list. So solid. As is their stripped down, JBTV exclusive set.

Also this week, JBTV cameras follow host Brendan Kelly backstage at UIC Pavilion for an exclusive interview with Slayer. The concept of an artist like Brendan (The Lawrence Arms) interviewing fellow artists like Slayer is endlessly fascinating to me, so I asked BK to walk me thru the atmosphere and his thought process before and during the interview. “I was pretty intimidated interviewing Dave and Kerry ,” he admits first and freely. “They put us in a makeshift living room stocked with beer, soda and somebody’s kid playing Xbox. We waited in there watching this incredibly bored and disenfranchised kid play some version of Mario Bros. for what seemed like hours before Kerry and Dave finally came in saying, “Eh, another one of these [interviews], eh?” as though they were about to get yet another anal probe.” Hilarious insight. I still have a tough time figuring out why some artists have such a disdain for interviews. Maybe because I’m the one always asking the questions?

Brendan continues, “I tried to be conversational and Dave was slightly receptive, but Kerry was clearly wanting to just get in and get out. His answers were super curt and, while he was pleasant enough, he’s scary as hell. Big beard, flame head, in Slayer, etc. Matt Skiba (Alkaline Trio) is really into Nazi mysticism and all that. Slayer has written a lot of songs that seem to imply a fascination with the third reich, so I tried to go there without being accusatory. The results were pretty entertaining.”

Host Jenna Martinelli sits down with New York City indie rockers, The Do, at Schubas’ Harmony Grill for a candid look at the band during dinner. “Our conversation was really amusing and random,” Jenna told me. “A lot of talk about food and fashion.” Subject matter clearly close to Jenna’s heart.

I head out to Hard Rock Hotel on Michigan Ave. for a visit with our friends from Ocala, Florida, A Day to Remember. This interview was particularly exciting – moments before the shoot, the band had got word that their new album, What Separates Me from You, had unseated Taylor Swift for the number 1 spot on the iTunes music charts. No small feat. Celebratory drinks were had and Hard Rock memorabilia may or may not have been ripped off the walls. At least frontman Jeremy McKinnon stopped short of smashing any of it.

Finally this week, Jerry Bryant revisits one of his favorite classic JBTV segments featuring John Lydon a.k.a. The Sex Pistols’ “Johnny Rotten.” I asked Jerry to recall some details from this legendary 1992 encounter. “John was on the PIL [Public Image, LTD.] tour at the time. He was doing an interview at 93 WXRT and decided he didn’t like how it was going, so he walked out and showed up at JBTV 90 minutes early. I had no cameraman and no crew,” Jerry explains. “We usually have someone tour the guest around the studio before ending up in the on-air studio. John refused the tour and said, “I’m only answering ONE question on this crappy TV show.” So I took the camera, pointed it at John and he talked nonstop, for 40 minutes, about everything from bad music videos to showing his bare ass on TV.”

Plain White T's, The Frantic, Matt Skiba (Alkaline Trio), OK Go, Kill Hannah, ManBQue (12.11.2010)

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Sun, 12 Dec 2010 19:56:00 +0000

It is a great pleasure to welcome my dear friends in Plain White T’s to the JBTV studios for an exclusive performance on our high definition sound stage. A lot has changed for all of us in the last 11 years, but it’s safe to say more has changed for these kids from Villa Park.

“Hey There, Delilah” catapulted the band onto a worldwide platform, reaching the elusive #1 spot on the Billboard Top 100 chart and nudging their record “Every Second Counts” to Gold certification status. But, as you’ll see this week on JBTV, one of my favorite things about the T’s is that they’re still as humble and down to earth as they were when then played house shows in the 90’s. After countless world tours, the band is back with a brand new album (out this week) called “Wonders of the Younger,” and they’re debuting some of their live material for the first time this week... only on JBTV! And yes, they’ll play a show-closing version of “Delilah."

Our other featured in-studio artist this week is another one of our hometown favorites, The Frantic. If you’ve watched JBTV at all since last March, you’ve heard the band (whether you know it or not) every week as they perform our show’s intro theme song. You know the one; “J-B-T-V!” It’s about time we have these dudes featured properly on the HD sound stage. Having worked with the band dating back to my years on Q101 radio, I’ve said since the first time we spun “Audio and Murder” that The Frantic is bound for enormous things and I stand by it more today than ever. They were 17 then. They’re pushing 21 now. They’re growing up and their songwriting is growing up with them. They have incredible energy, charisma and stage presence and we’re thrilled to bring you this week’s JBTV exclusive studio session with The Frantic!

Hosts Toby Jeg and Brendan Kelly are hanging at Bottom Lounge with Alkaline Trio frontman Matt Skiba. JBTV gives you an all access pass to Matt’s sound check before his solo show last month, complete with unseen performance footage. Plus, Skiba gives us the scoop on the Trio’s forthcoming record.

Jenna Martinelli is backstage at Metro with OK Go, marking their second 2010 appearance on our show. They’re that good! We, of course, talk concepts with the band best known for creating some of the most inventive music videos of the past decade. Jenna even talks the guys into dancing for the JBTV cameras.

Toby Jeg and myself are on location with the guys from Man-B-Que. What is it? Meat. Beer. Rock and roll. We grill. We drink. We rock. That’s it. 3 simple things and 1 insane can’t miss party!

And our namesake, Jerry Bryant, takes us back in time for a classic in-studio segment with Kill Hannah. It’s another exclusive performance, filmed in our downtown Chicago studios in 2006. You won’t – and can’t – find this anywhere but JBTV!

Riverboat Gamblers, Terrible Things, Jimmy Eat World, Radiohead, Chevelle, Ministry

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 05:54:00 +0000

Our two featured in-studio artists – Terrible Things and Riverboat Gamblers – lead this week’s lineup with, quite possibly, the two highest energy performances we’ve hosted this year on our high-def soundstage. We’re on the scene with Jimmy Eat World and Chevelle and revisiting classic JBTV segments with Radiohead and Ministry.

Jerry Bryant has the pleasure of talking with Terrible Things, an alt-rock supergroup, so to speak. Made up of former members of Taking Back Sunday, Coheed & Cambria and Hot Rod Circuit, the band drops by to jam and spread the word on their debut, self-titled concept album. The Terrible Things moniker, and their music, is inspired by a yearlong series of arsons in Coatesville, PA, that killed one, left over 40 families homeless and caused more than $3 million in property damages. A sad story, for certain, but the resulting music – which you’ll see them perform – is rich. Whether you caught the band on the 2010 Vans Warped Tour or this will be your first taste, JBTV is giving you total access to Terrible Things.

Host (and Lawrence Arms frontman) Brendan Kelly invited his friends in Riverboat Gamblers by the studio for an interview and performance. Cuz that’s how we do things at JBTV. The Austin, TX-based punks accepted and we, in turn, opened the invite to you (via Do312.com) to attend the taping. Little did we know (though we should’ve guessed) that Riverboat Gamblers would then invite our entire studio audience on stage with them during their rowdy set. It’s a JBTV first and it goes down on this week’s show!

Host Jenna Martinelli hung with Jimmy Eat World at the Riv on the band’s most recent stop in Chicago. Touring in support of their 7th studio album, “Invented,” the band made time for Jenna (and who wouldn’t?) before the sold-out gig. Thankfully JBTV cameras were there to capture our visit with frontman Jim Atkins.

JBTV had all access to this year’s Carnival of Madness tour, featuring the long-awaited homecoming of my pals in Chevelle. It was definitely the summer’s most straight-ahead rock tour; the bill included Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd, Sevendust and 10 Years. Don’t miss my interview shot steps from Lake Michigan at Charter One Pavilion with drummer, Sam Loeffler.

Finally, Jerry Bryant has pulled two of his favorite classic segments for this week’s show – a JBTV exclusive Radiohead live performance at Metro from 1993 and an in-studio interview with Ministry’s Al Jourgensen. Just two more reasons why JBTV is unmatched at what we do. You literally cannot find this footage anywhere else!

Hot Hot Heat, Street Dogs, 30 Seconds to Mars, The Temper Trap, Flaming Lips

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 03:00:00 +0000

Victoria, BC's Hot Hot Heat hit the JBTV HD soundstage for the first time ever! Hard to believe considering they've been modern rock radio staples since 2003's "Bandages" became nearly inescapable. Since then, the band has tallied 5 top 20 hits and shared sold-out arena stages with Foo Fighters, Weezer, Snow Patrol and Death Cab for Cutie. In studio to share stories and songs from their latest full-length, "Future Breeds," Ryan Manno the exclusive interview and performance!

Same for JBTV co-host Brendan Kelly as he hosts their longtime friends, Street Dogs. The story of singer Mike McColgan has always fascinated us. He willingly left Dropkick Murphy's in 1998 to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming a firefighter, but in 2002 determined that he couldn't extinguish his passion for making music. 8 years and 5 albums later, Street Dogs make their JBTV debut on our HD soundstage! We highly recommend this set for fans of Rancid, Bouncing Souls, Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys.

Also this week, Ryan Manno is on location at the world famous Metro in Chicago with The Temper Trap before their 2010 sold-out show. It's the last stop on their headlining US tour, which included a show-stealing performance at this year's Lollapalooza. You know the band's breakthrough hit, "Sweet Disposition," from countless commercials. Now it's time to know the band. Great dudes and we're stoked to bring you backstage to check out our chat.

JBTV's JB - Jerry Bryant - plays host to Red Bull's "Rock the Route," by welcoming the contest's two finalists, Brighton, MA and Young Jesus. Both bands visit with Jerry just days before they packed up for this Red Bull-created, head to head competition along historic Route 66. It's really a unique and compelling competition, and JBTV sets the stage tonight!

We're rewinding time and unearthing archives from 30 Seconds to Mars and The Flaming Lips. Don't miss these JBTV exclusives with two of rock's most intriguing frontmen, Jared Leto and Wayne Coyne, filmed years ago in the JBTV studio.

Bayside, Alberta Cross, Angels & Airwaves, Fun, Metric, Andrew W.K.

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 02:30:00 +0000

JBTV founder/owner/host/producer/icon Jerry Bryant kicks things off with Alberta Cross performing on our high definition sound stage. Many of us in Chicago got our first exposure to Alberta Cross at last May's Them Crooked Vultures gig at Aragon. TCV aside, the NYC-based band has one hell of a touring resume; they've done Lollapalooza, Coachella, Bonnaroo and have been hand-selected to open for Oasis, Dave Matthews Band, The Shins, Bat for Lashes and Simian Mobile Disco. Alberta Cross hit JBTV while out on their very first US headlining tour. This is certainly a tight performance not to miss! Oh, and I've heard that their band name is an anagram for something. And they don't tell people what it means.

This week's other featured artist is Bayside. It was a real treat to have the guys come up to play live on our HD stage. Pretty sure it's one of my top 3 performances of the year. And wait til you hear their Weezer cover. It's ridiculous. It is fascinating, on the 5th anniversary, to hear singer Anthony Raneri open up about the band's van accident that took the life of Bayside drummer John "Beatz" Holohan. Anxious to get your feedback on this one!

Plus, Tom Delonge of Angels & Airwaves and Blink-182 gives JBTV's Toby Jeg and Brendan Kelly exclusive pre-show access before AVA's Aragon show. Host Jenna Martinelli takes viewers backstage at House of Blues Chicago for an intimate visit with Fun. Jenna and new JBTV host Tanner Rittenhouse hit Threadless' 10 Year Anniversary party at Bottom Lounge. See how the people behind the world's biggest t-shirt empire get loose! Jerry Bryant rewinds to a 2003 in-studio visit with party-rocker Andrew WK and his 2009 interview with Metric.

The Gaslight Anthem, Interpol, Dan Black, Murder by Death, Heather Gabel, Smashing Pumpkins

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 20:09:00 +0000

Our good friend Dan Black – British, ‘wonky pop’ artist best known for his 2009 “Symphonies” collaboration with Kid Cudi – brings his visually and sonically adept act to our high definition sound stage. He’s an incredibly unique and focused performer who makes an impressive mountain of sound out of a very minimal setup.

The same is true, but by a much different approach, for our other featured artist this week – The Gaslight Anthem. Typically best heard and seen at max volume, Gaslight joins JBTV hosts Brendan Kelly and Tobias Jeg for a conversation and then unplugs for an intimate interpretation of their 2008 breakthrough “The ’59 Sound” and 2010’s criticallyacclaimed “American Slang.” Vocalist Brian Fallon is such a tactful songwriter that it’s almost an entirely new set of chills you’ll get from these JBTV exclusive stripped down versions of songs you already know.

Host Ryan Manno goes on location for an up-close interview with NYC-based, indie rockers Interpol. Manno sits down with drummer Sam Fogarino and guitarist Daniel Kessler in the band’s Ritz-Carlton penthouse to discuss the band’s recent personnel changes, their new self- titled album and, of course, how they manage to always look so damn fashionable.

Host Jenna Martinelli visits with Murder by Death in the JBTV studio. Supporting the release of “Good Morning, Magpie,” the band from Bloomington, Indiana discusses the unconventional making of the new record – they wanted to create something that captured what life is like at home, so they made the album in a barn while sitting around, drinking whiskey with their friends. “That’s what we do,” explained singer Adam Turla, moments before he serenaded

Jenna with a little Johnny Cash. Host Toby Jeg takes JBTV viewers inside the opening of Heather Gabel’s “Wild Card Art Show” at Chicago’s Johalla Projects Gallery. Gabel (wife of Against Me! Singer, Tom Gabel) offers some incredible images and insight behind the concept of the show, which is a series of pieces based on the Tarot card, the 21 cards of the Major Arcana.

And our namesake, Jerry Bryant, unearths some of his classic JBTV studio footage with Green Day (when Billie Jo had pink hair) and Smashing Pumpkins (when Billy had hair). This is never-before-seen, must-see footage of the bands letting loose with Jerry!

One Eskimo, A Rocket To The Moon, New Politics, The Spill Canvas

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 22:44:00 +0000

UK-based One Eskimo is not just a band - they are a complete multimedia project. Their music follows a storyline, which has been animated to create a full visual and audio experience. This week on JBTV, watch these artists perform their carefully constructed ambient rock on the JBTV sound stage, before being interviewed by JBTV namesake, Jerry Bryant. Next up, the catchy power pop quartet, A Rocket to the Moon, stop by the studio for a chat with host Jenna Martinelli. In support of their debut album 'On Your Side', the band has toured with Motion City Soundtrack, Sing It Loud, fun., and as a part of Warped Tour 2010. The formation of Denmark-based rock band New Politics involved a bit of happenstance, after singer David Boyd came across an ad in the newspaper for a Battle of the Bands and entered on a whim, despite not having the necessary component of an actual band. Three weeks later, New Politics played their first show and placed in the top four of almost a thousand entered bands. This week on JBTV, host Kevin Manno gives his farewell JBTV interview, before starting his own show over at MTV next week, and heads over to the Dew Tour to catch up with this incidental band. To finish off the show, we're going back in time with a classic Jerry Bryant interview with The Spill Canvas. The band have been going strong for the greater part of the past decade, and 2010 will see three new releases from these rockers - the full-length 'Formalities' and EPs 'Abnormalities' and 'Realities'.

JBTV Static Age 09.15.10

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 01:35:00 +0000

This week on JBTV Static Age, Brendan Kelly and Tobias Jeg have a lot in store for you, including new videos from Story of the Year “I’m Alive” and Cobra Skulls “Rebel Fate.” They will also be debuting a never before seen, acoustic performance, from Against Me! “Sink, Florida, Sink,” performed live on the JBTV HD soundstage. In addition to all that greatness, they also have videos from The Loved Ones “Jane,” Modest Mouse “Dashboard,” A Tribe Called Quest “Award Tour,” and The Bouncing Souls “Gone.”

Against Me!, Alkaline Trio, C.M. Punk, and Joey Ramone

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 19:49:00 +0000

Against Me! are toning it down a notch for a special acoustic performance here at the JBTV HD sound stage, followed by an in...terview with JBTV host Brendan Kelly. Chicago's own Alkaline Trio have returned to their Midwestern roots with their latest album, This Addiction. Eschewing the major labels, the band instead employed some DIY ethos and self-released the new tunes. JBTV host Toby Jeg catches up with the band on this week's episode as they rock the sun-soaked crowd at Vans Warped Tour in Chicago. For a little change of pace, host Ryan Manno interviews WWE superstar CM Punk, or "The Second City Saint". He's known for his corkscrew diving neckbreaker, inverted frankensteiner and suicide slam. Needless to say, this is a guy you want to keep on your good side. To round out this episode of rabble-rousers, we've got a classic Jerry Bryant interview with the late legendary Joey Ramone.

Freelance Whales, Stars, Ben Folds Five

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 23:48:00 +0000

A banjo, glockenspiel, synthesizers, guitars, bass, drums, and a harmonium are just some of the elements that come together to make up New York City based band, Freelance Whales. Watch as they take a quick break from their hot summer tour to stop by and perform on the JBTV HD sound stage, just before they come back through Chicago next week for Lollapalooza! After their performance, the one and only Jerry Bryant sits them down for an interview to get the scoop on what they've been up to lately. Also on this week's episode, JBTV's Ryan Manno hooks up for an interview at Lincoln Hall with eloquent indie rockers, Stars who will also be appearing at Lollapalooza 2010. In a classic JBTV segment, Jerry takes you back to an interview with Ben Folds Five from 1997.

Foxy Shazam, Motion City Soundtrack, My Chemical Romance

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 05:00:00 +0000

If you're into loud, anthemic rock music, mustachioed men and over the top stage antics, you're not going to want to miss this week's episode of JBTV. Cincinnati-based rockers Foxy Shazam are fresh off a tour opening for Courtney Love and Hole and about to make their way back to Chicago for Lollapalooza 2010, but not before bringing their outrageousness to this week's episode for an interview with JBTV host Ryan Manno and performance on the JBTV HD sound stage. The Dew Tour's Chicago stop may have gotten rained out last week, but a little bit of rain doesn't stop JBTV! Kevin Manno braved the storm to catch up with headlining band Motion City Soundtrack, on tour in support of their latest (and catchiest) album, My Dinosaur Life. To wrap the show up, we've got a classic Jerry Bryant interview with My Chemical Romance.

First up, all the way from the UK, pop-electronica artist Dan Black stops by the studio for a performance and chat with JBTV host Ryan Manno. Next, Jenna Martinelli heads out on the scene to check up on Grammy-winning psychedelic rockers MGMT. Lolla may be hot and crowded, but at least this week on JBTV you can enjoy these two artists from the comfort of your air conditioned living room. Continuing with our 25-year JBTV retrospective, we’ll be featuring a classic Jerry Bryant interview with Nashville indie rock band Paper Route.

Runner Runner, Good Old War, Jet

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 05:00:00 +0000

Who would have pegged David Letterman as a pop punk fan? Not me. Nevertheless, Huntington Beach's Runner Runner have recently been signed by Letterman's new record label, C.E. Music, and have just released their debut album. Next thing you know, we'll find the late night talk show host will start sporting spiky hair and Chuck Taylors. Runner Runner will be stopping by the JBTV studio on this week's episode to chat with Ryan Manno and perform music from their new album on our JBTV HD sound stage. After that, JBTV host Jeff Baraka heads over to Beat Kitchen to catch up with indie rock band Good Old War, who just last month released their self-titled sophomore album.

Flobots, Coheed and Cambria, Moby

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 05:15:00 +0000

Think stringed instruments, horns, and hip hop don't belong together? Think again. This week on JBTV instrumental hip hop group Flobots stop by the studio for a chat with host Ryan Manno. You may remember them from their 2008 hit "Handlebars." They've recently released a politically-charged new album, Survival Story, and will be performing the new tunes right here on the JBTV HD sound stage. If you've been wondering what progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria have been up to recently, host Jenna Martinelli has got you covered as she heads backstage at Q101's Jamboree for an exclusive interview with front man Claudio Sanchez. They're currently on tour in support of their latest album, Year of the Black Rainbow, which is actually a prequel to their previously released four concept albums. To round out the show, we're digging up some never-before-seen archived footage with Jerry Bryant and one Richard Melville Hall, otherwise known as Moby.

The Audition, A Day To Remember, Bullet For My Valentine

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 20:18:00 +0000

Chicago is not only home to a plethora of fantastic bands and quite possibly the greatest music television show ever of all time in the universe (cough, cough...), but we're also lucky enough to be privy to some first-rate venues and record labels. We've got two bands on this week's episode off of one of the most prominent of Chicago labels, Victory Records. First up, dance/rock/punk band The Audition performs on the JBTV HD sound stage before sitting down with Ryan Manno for an interview. The band is just about to head out on the road with Stereo Skyline as part of the Stuck On Repeat tour. Jenna Martinelli has a chat with another Victory artist - hardcore heavyweights A Day to Remember. Continuing with our 25-year JBTV retrospective, we've got a classic Jerry Bryant interview with Welsh heavy metal band Bullet for My Valentine to round out the show.

Dead to Me, NOFX, Teenage Bottlerocket, Tony Sly, The Menzingers, Neil Hennessey

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 04:12:00 +0000

Brendan Kelly and Tobias Jeg are bringing the best new punk music, and what better place to turn to for some raucous punk rock than the eminent Fat Wreck Chords? We’ve got a full roster of label mates on the show, starting with and interview and performance with San Francisco’s Dead To Me. Next, Toby heads all the way up to Milwaukee to chat with Fat Wreck Chords founder and NOFX front man Fat Mike over at the Riverside Theater, with what is Fat Mike’s first television interview in years. While Toby was up in Milwaukee, he also managed to catch up with Teenage Bottlerocket, Neil Hennessey of Chicago’s own Lawrence Arms, and Tony Sly of No Use For A Name. If you’re familiar with Fat Wreck Chords, you may have heard a story or two about NOFX tour manager Kent Jamieson. If not, you’ll hear a few stories this week as Toby grabs Kent for an interview up in Milwaukee. While not connected to Fat Wreck Chords, Scranton-based band The Menzingers also deliver some rowdy punk music, and Toby got a hold of them for an interview at Riverside Theater.

Diane Birch, Angels And Airwaves, Alanis Morrissette

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 04:05:00 +0000

Diane Birch is an undeniable natural talent. Aside from being "easy on the eyes," she exudes a rare, veteran assurance that takes most solo artists a lifetime to get right. Then Brendan Kelly and Tobias Jeg of JBTV Static Age take viewers backstage at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom for a visit with Angels & Airwaves frontman Tom Delonge (Blink-182). After We revisit host Jerry Bryant's 1995 in-studio session with Alanis Morissette.

Semi Precious Weapons, Treaty Of Paris, Murder By Death, Metric

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 18:14:00 +0000

JBTV is filled with glitz and glamour this week as we bring the eyeliner-wearing, lip gloss-sporting Semi Precious Weapons here to the studio for an interview and performance. The band is amidst a world tour with Lady Gaga, who knows a thing or two about splendor and theatrics herself. Next, Chicago's own power pop quartet Treaty of Paris will also be rocking the JBTV studio with a performance and interview. Jenna Martinelli catches up with Murder by Death as they roll through town with their dark murder ballads and haunting rock music. To finish up the show, we've got some classic JBTV footage with Canadian indie rock band Metric, who just recently composed the theme song for a little-known teen vampire flick titled Twilight: Eclipse.

JP, Chrissie and the Fairground Boys, Empires and Chris Isaak

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Fri, 28 May 2010 00:44:00 +0000

Chrissie Hynde earned her status as a rock star and style icon during her 30+ years as the frontwoman of The Pretenders, but this week on JBTV we'll be seeing something new from this music legend. Chrissie brings her new band, JP, Chrissie, and the Fairground Boys, to the JBTV studio for an acoustic performance and interview with Jerry. Chicago's own Empires have just released a new EP, "Bang", and will be catching up with Ryan Manno in the JBTV studio. This week we'll also see the return of archived JBTV footage, with classic footage of crooner Chris Isaak.

AM Taxi, OK Go, Flatfoot 56 and Gold Motel

JBTV@JBTVonline.com (JBTV) — Wed, 26 May 2010 18:22:00 +0000

While we may be a bit biased, the general consensus among the JBTV staff is that Chicago has the best local music scene in the country. This week we're celebrating why we love our city so much with an all-Chicago JBTV episode. To start things off, one of the biggest bands coming out of Chicago right now, AM Taxi, are being interviewed by Kevin Manno along with an in-studio performance. While they may have moved their act over to LA, OK Go are still Chicagoans at heart, and Jenna Martinelli will be catching up with them on the scene at Metro.
