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.

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.

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!

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!

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

Oh look a beach

JF Single Launch & Other Happenings

Hello one, Hello all... we’ve been a little up to our ears lately and so have been somewhat lacking in the blog updates department.

This I have now come to rectify.

First of all I shall mention the recent JF Single Launch... other things have been happening too but none so fun... thus i’ll ignore them

Soooo, the Single Launch of ‘Drunk Drive’ went really well, thank you to all 300 of you who came down to support us.

We had a minor breakdown before the show when we realised that, having decided to film & record the event, we knew nothing about technology...

Laurie didn’t cope well with the pressure...



... it should also be noted that this breakdown had a dire effect on his sense of fashion and the long hidden leather jacket made a brief reappearance... we shall pray for him.

The show went supremely well and was very dramatic, even more so in black and white


45 minutes later, after showing the Drunk Drive video on a big screen and almost killing ourselves playing an encore we headed to the afterparty and hit the decks... the night then degenerated from there


We began drinking which soon led to the below disaster...

Dear Soho,
I’m sorry

I promise i’ll return soon with a wet sponge to begin the cleaning process.

Yours Sincerely
Jed


aaanyway on to serious business.

Our next London show is at Shoreditch House on 31st May... once again FREE & once again an opportunity to buy our t-shirts and limited edition ‘Drunk Drive’ Vinyls!

Ooooh also here’s a link to a Drunk Drive review:

www.findthetorchburntheplans.blogspot.com

Last but NOT LEAST... if your turn your heads to the right a little (and scroll up) ---->
you'll see you can now purchase limited edition Drunk Drive Vinyls & T-Shirts from us... oh when will the madness end?!!

Speak soon lovely people

Things we have been doing lately (in photos) PART 1

So as the title suggests this post is going to be about er...... Things we have been doing lately. Kinda.




We finished filming the video for DRUNK DRIVE...







Where jed worked so hard he bled. It was pretty minor but he wined about it for ages cos he's a girl innit






We got some shiny new trainers courtesy of the complete babes at The Reebok Lounge...



We tried to act cool about it. Whatevs. Grant succeeded. Jed as usual failed.







We did a new photoshoot with the super talented young and HOT Amber Grace Dixon.












Jed and I went overboard with dessert.









And I was gonna save this last one for next time, cos its kinda ruins the chronological thing I got goin here.....but to be honest I'm too excited to show everyone!

In one simple and glorious moment, in a south London back garden, I became.....MAN








Now for some actual news..... We've just announced the venue for the DRUNK DRIVE single launch party. Its gonna be at the 100 Club on Oxford Street, May 11th!! If you wanna come click 'attending' on the facebook event HERE and we'll add your name to the guestlist (its freeeeeeeee). If you're either too old/cool/blind/insecure to have facebook then send an email with the names to jennersfield@gmail.com

We want to see you ALL there, this is going to be a big night for us.

Look forward to part 2 very shortly!

JF life update

On this beautiful sunny day when we should all be outside, I’ve decided to stay in and keep you all updated about the world of Jenners Field. (yes I’m something of a martyr).

First of all i should mention that the great minds over at Burberry have decided to use Camberwell Grove for another online advert... this we find very exciting and whilst we’re still not deemed pretty enough to actually be in the commercial, hopefully the music speaks for itself



Soooo its been a busy couple of weeks for us, we played at The Chequer Mead down in lovely friendly Surrey. The venue was amazing and we all got agoraphobia from too much stage space.
We then travelled for 7 hours down to cornwall to play in Truro... i’d envisaged an all-american style roadtrip with sun, laughs and adventures.... instead, everyone slept and laurie listened to MagicFM until the signal cut out.

Nevertheless the Truro show (‘B-Side’ at Bunters Bar) went well... though was a little smaller than we’d imagined.

We also got to paddle on the beach... *photos to follow once we’ve cleaned the sand out the camera*

FIIIIINNNAAALLLLYYYY we had our Shoreditch House gig / Jed’s Birthday celebration.
As our new favourite place i feel we should show you some pictures of Shoreditch House with its roof top swimming pool and fantastic view.
However i can’t actually find any therefore im going to show you this clip of a cat on a tortoise.



Thank you to all those that came to the show and to our lighting engineer Sam for making them flash in time with the music

this wasn’t our light show.

One more thing to be excited about is a our upcoming JF Single Launch Party... more details will by announced soon... however ill not mention them now so as to build suspense.

Speak soon

Jed xx
