About Me


JonesTown, fast emerging as one of the hottest new rock bands in New York F'in City, is Ross Kantor on drums, Steve Paelet on bass, Timmy Rockmore on lead guitar, and fronted by songwriter Freddie Mac . Rock 'n Roll Experience describes them as "Musically addictive and ready to rock", and they deliver, both live and on record - JonesTown's songs will make you bang your head and shake your ass, all at the same time. "Open Up", from their 2005 release "When It All Comes Down", has been used as the official theme to Bike New York's Five Boro Bike Tour . Their music is now being taken for a different kind of ride - as a part of Tristan Taormino 's House of Ass.
When asked about JonesTown's inclusion in a porn video, Freddie Mac could be heard to say: "I like to think that our songs tap into the most basic of human emotions and impulses. I couldn't think of a better way to be 'exposed' to a whole new audience, to tap into those impulses on a whole new level...now if only I hadn't missed that casting call..."
