Jerry Joseph Hosts NY eve bash in NYC

Frontman for the Jackmormons, Stockholm Syndrome and the Denmark Veseys pulls out all the stops.

By Blurt Staff

Three days of fun from BLURT faves Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons. The songwriter's New Year's Eve bash is usually held in Costal Rica, but this year it'll be in the Big Apple at The Delancey - and the '08 send-off will be preceded by a pair of shows at Crash Mansion on Dec. 29 and 30.

Joseph, drummer Steve Drizos and bassist JR Ruppel will be joined by opener Bret Mosley for all three nights as well as various other special guests. Watch for the kinds of fireworks fans of the Jackmormoms, Stockholm Syndrome and the Denmark Veseys (Joseph's three outfits) have become accustomed to. Full details below.

The trio has been touring and recording together and plan to release an ep, Charge, early in 2009.
 

Not unwarranted press hype:

"The Jackmormons' frontman and lead songwriter Jerry Joseph is the 21st-century equivalent of a tribal medicine man. He'll hand you a sonic peyote cocktail and proceed to dance around a swirling bonfire of electric guitars. Bass and drums pound out a beat to match your rising pulse as Joseph works himself into a sometimes eight-minute-long frenzy of Hendrix sounds and dark imagery." - Performing Songwriter
