The Family Jewels

We're invisible now. The bees can't touch us.

About Me

The Family Jewels are a bizarre rollercoaster ride through the minds of some seriously damaged units. A close knit group of four (who seem to share one warped brain), TFJ systematically grinds down insanity and humor to their purest forms, creating a catchy warp/quirk rock that has been proclaimed "brainless brilliance" or "pop/rock expansionism."
The Family Jewels hilarious LIVE show was truly a sight to see. Those who had the opportunity to catch them LIVE in NYC's Village, NJ, the West Coast, the MidWest, the Southwest, the East Coast, and Maine! would hear the whispers in the crowd: "This is the most bizarre shit I've ever seen. But it works." "Hey, what's with the chicken?" "Is that a real homeless person?" or "I think we're all going to hell tonight." For more info, visit www.thefamilyjewelsrock.com.
