Hello world wide web, as we've got some pretty cool stuff coming up, I thought I'd do a quick post just to let you all know about the happenings over the next couple of weeks.
Firstly, on Sept 27th, we will be playing at camden's Proud Galleries, as party of the awesome 'Call the Landlord' club night. Last time we played this event I stumbled across a pretty large guy pole-dancing in one of the booths. And that was before we went on.
click HERE to go to the Facebook event page.
and then, only a few days later we are thrilled to announce we're supporting the absolutely insane and fantastic David Goo Variety Band at their 'World Domination' album launch at The Bowery on New Oxford Street on the 1st October.
Here's a video of David getting slapped and sung about.
In other news, Camberwell Grove is now available for your auditory pleasure on our myspace and Facebook profiles, so go have a listen and let us know what you think.
Until the next time, stay classy, internet.
Grant, -JF- x

JF in Briefs
Hi one and all,
Just thought i'd say something brief to let you know what's being going on with us & thus keep your worlds bright and colourful.
First of all i'll mention that following the fun and frolicks from our first single, 'Drunk Drive', we're now sorting the recording of the 2nd (...cue rapturous applause).
I wont mention which track it'll be, but its going to be a bigger and more exciting JF than ever before.
Oooh also talking of our previous debut single, we did recieve some great coverage recently from ITV on thier new 'London Music Review' feature
ITV LONDON MUSIC REVIEW
(we're around 1 min 55secs in and you even get to see our ugly mugs prancing around)
Thank you all those that came down to our recent Headline Barfly show, it was great to see so many of you there and after sorting the single we'll be back for more soon.
Feel free to follow the below link for a few up close & personal shots of the set....
JF @ Camden Barfly
So that's pretty much it folks, we'll of course keep you posted as things progress and i leave you with a St.Vincent track that i'm currently watching on repeat.
Bye

Top tips from Croydon's finest
So!
Just got back from a raaaather enlightening trip to West Croydon. Anyone who has ever been to aforementioned place will know that it's the urban equivalent of 'that-fox-who-crapped-on-the-doorstep-last-week-so-when-you-took-the-rubbish-out-you-stepped-in-it'. Generally when that happens, one would make a face rather like this...
And that my friends is the exact expression I made throughout my two hour round trip. Now back in the safety of my dining room I can reflect on the experience, and particularly some advice a tramp gave to me whilst I was parking my car. He said "you know son, I'm going to give you some advice.....the police here, they don't like you drinkin' alcohol on the street.....so what I do is go to McDonalds, get a drinks cup and pour my Special Brew into it...that way they never know!". He then proudly raised his concealed prize, farted, and wandered off. Well I must say thank you trampy man for showing me all that Croydon has to offer.
In lighter news its only a few days left till our Brighton gig supporting Lucy Rose. We're super psyched to be playing with her as she's SO BLOODY GOOD. Here's a little video of hers to give you a taster, but if you're in the Brighton area on Saturday night come and check her out at The Hope, and then oh yea you can watch us play before too!
ALSO we've announced a London headline show at the Camden Barfly on August 16th. More info will follow on this, but basically we're just really happy because we get a HUGE DRESSING ROOM and also FREE BEER. Why else does anyone ever join a band???
Bye!

p.s. have you bought our single 'Drunk Drive'? If no then GO GET IT NOW. If yes then we are forever in your debt (well in fact to the total of 79p but I thought that sounded better)

The Hope, Brighton / 30th July
Afternoon all,
It's a Sunday and for once we aren't rehearsing THUS, i thought i'd take a moment to mention our upcoming Brighton show.
It's at The Hope (Brighton) and with any luck should be something of a spectacle.
Look a flyer...

You can buy tickets here if you like .... ooooh very tempting i know.
Last time we went to Brighton we discovered this on route
So i think it's fair to say if nothing else, it's worth coming just for the journey.
Bye everyone
(and don't forget to buy the new JF Single!)

OUR FIRST SINGLE IS OUT!!....but erm....we're not here
Sooo,
Usually in a blog someone starts off by categorising all the shizz that has happened since the last blog, but although this tasty bit of news is coming i feel that I need to back track just a little to explain why its
a) 4.30 in the afternoon and i only just woke up,
b) why i don't recommend ordering turkish ravioli.
well basically, you remember back in April when Laurie became a man?
Well, all was good and well until the next day when laurie actually realised what being a man implied, as his future life flashed before his eyes
and in a hazed morning with bbq wings, cheeseburgers, and cans of beer strewn across the house, him and jed did what all good Brits do when reality kicks in...
went on easyjet.com and ordered a dollop of sunshine, alcohol and importantly ignored all sentences that didn't consist of 'its soooo fucking hot' and/or 'i love how alcohol is SOOO cheap here' etc...
I soon followed suit when after 56 hours of being in the library finishing off my dissertation, I immediately slumped to the pub and while sipping my nice coold beer said 'jesus christ... next time i will really start working earlier and not leave it to the last minute.......' *cough*
so thats the story of how on the day of our debut single release... JF were nowhere to be seen. Laurie and Jed have ended up in Morocco fondling some Camels (pics to follow) , I subsequently bought a ticket to istanbul and am now in Bulgaria, Hungary and hungover (see what I did there??), and why Grant being the smart guy chose to fuck trying to ask 'where do you get the 409 bus that goes to your little hostel at 5a.m.?' in bulgarian, and just went to see Prince at Hop Farm.......WELL jealous. Though actually we haven't heard from him since, currently a bit worried that he's been stranded in that severe downpour of purple rain, though fingers crossed he had his raspberry beret with him (should I stop now.....?....I think so )
This may well be Grant… we're unsure!?
Aaanyway, onwards and upwards.
With the release of the single this week we've had some great interviews.
www.clashmusic.com
We've been up to BBC Humberside and BBC Nottingham to record a couple of acoustic sessions the first of which was aired with an interview on 'The Beat' last saturday on BBC Nottingham which you can catch on bbc iplayer, but there is only 2 days left.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00hptzs
we are around 35 minutes in… ish. Dean Jackson was great, and we will hopefully be back in nottingham both in radio format and live soon!
we've also had some great reviews,
www.music-news.com
www.pennyblackmusic.co.uk
BUUUUUUTTTTTTTT!!! the most important thing of all, we are now LIVEEE on Amazon and Itunes, BUY NOW!!! this is our first single and its great fun to have something out there for the big wide world!
until next time, probably full of holiday snaps (hopefully not too boring), have a good summer.

Also just realised I forgot to answer why you shouldnt have turkish ravioli... well, its empty and some guy chucked yogurt on top, nuf said.

Where are my straighteners?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh so the Drunk Drive vinyls are out in the big bad world. We've got 500 of these to shift so please please buy one (you'll get a free Mp3 with it) as otherwise we'll be forced to use them as expensive place mats. The link is on the right hand side of the page here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In preparation for the release of the digital version on July 4th we had some rather lovely reviews, most notably this one from Beehive City, who were at our Shoreditch House gig last week. Thanks guys!
http://www.beehivecity.com/music/new-band-jenners-field-prepare-for-life-in-the-fast-lane-43531/
On the flipside the reception for our hair hasn't been quite so good. The lovely people at unpeeled blog seem to have taken offence with our barnets, taking for the headline of their piece "STUPID HAIR PRODUCES ACE SINGLE". Basically all of us at Jenners Field HQ love this, so thanks Unpeeled for lightening up our lives. Never before has our hair been treated with such wonderful personification! See it in all its glory HERE
In other news this week Jed bit off more than he could chew in the drinks department.....
And I found out that my dog actually had alien powers......COOL
Remember to come see us headline the Barfly on 20th June, it will probably be rad. Although after recent reviews our collective hair is considering strike action....we'll see where that goes!
Much love
Laurie -JF-
