About Me

Prospectors are best known for hollerin', "There's gold in them thar hills!" So are we, but we're the jellyhearts and we have hearts of gold, "very fragile dispositions," and capguns. We're a couple whiskey-drunk roadtrippers who stomp out the nogood lowdown dirty punked out blues like dudes. Our songs are delivered to you by a wanky-ass guitarist, reba con queso, and her bambam metronome, mizz lorn. Spawned from rustbelt blues and cap city sludge, the jellyhearts slithered down to the ohio river valley, where we exchanged the hearts and stars with flowers for tom collinses and mustachios. These days, we are chased by bats and exiled, speeding down the southbound freeways with a tiny acoustic global and a tambourine, singing to the wind and pouring fire in the belly. Our tunes harness the bo diddley stomp, the defiant energy of the mc5, and the raw gories sound to create a newfangled brand of reckless garage rock. As notorious noise ordinance violators, we pack every jam with shredding, swagger, gain, and enough floortom pounding to drive the blues away. Music is spirit and soul, and ours comes from the very bottom of our jellied hearts. Every song is prayer to sonny boy williamson, cap'n beefheart, art tatum, the stones, and the stooges, and also to all the kids who love to get sweaty and ain't afraid to dance!
