The top sirloin of rock bands - Devin Smith

About Me


JeanMarie merchandise is now available!

The JeanMarie is a five-headed beast born out of the mingling refuse that churns the depths of Miami's seedy underbelly. From their early days when its founding members first met in a Dade County holding cell, to its present configuration as a quasi-intellectual, post punk, art-dance rock group, The JeanMarie has grown to be a cornerstone of South Florida's independent music scene. Combining warm coats of distorted guitars with bass heavy dance grooves, they have a way of winking with a straight face that straddles the line between satire and utter sincerity. It's a revolution without backup dancers. And everyone is invited.

"You Again Alone": Elevator Edition



"Venice Is Sinking...": Live at Studio A

Band Members:

    Sir Heilig - vocals/guitarJason Big Buck Hunter - drumsCurtis Mainstream - guitarJeffrey Remarkable!- bassRichard "Quiet'n'respectful" Laüdénraüdy - keys/vocals

Influences: The way Sam Cooke sings the chorus of "Goodtimes."
Sounds Like: "What do you get when you grab the Au Pairs, ´80s-era King Crimson, Mungo Jerry, and the guy who mixes the harmonies for The Scissor Sisters, stick them in a blender, and hit 'frappe'?

Goo. You get goo. It's disgusting. Never try it.

But! If you take those same ingredients, add an ear for weird hooks that sound obvious after one listen, and stick the resulting combo onstage — well, then you get something like Miami's jangliest, danciest, post-punkiest pop band, The Jean Marie."
