| J4 will once again play on this summer 2005 "Vans Warped Tour". Last years tour was a hit. This year should be even bigger for J4.
From the past to the present. A little history on J4
J4 is a Modern rock/pop/melody driven band based in Los Angeles CA. J4 have been credited throughout their years of making music for ignoring trends and musical clichés, and creating the music they love to create. And it is because of this dedication they had to creating their own brand of music that J4 have achieved what so many bands and musical artists can only dream of achieving in their careers. Their own distinct sound. Greg Lake - vocals, and Tommy Iapicco - drums, started J4 back in Canada. The 2 met while in high school, and just started playing together with other friends around their home town, which is located about 60 miles south of Toronto, Ontario. A little place called "St. Catharines"
Before Greg Lake, and Tommy Iapicco came out to California, they went to Chicago to record, "Soul Searchin". They relocated to Nashville, TN, where they recorded "Swamped". They also did an MTV music video for the single "Feel the Same" off the "Swamped" album. For a period of time, the bands brown "Ford Econoline" van served as their only means of transportation, and their home. Fun times. While they were based in Nashville, J4 made their presence known on the south East music scene. Some thing was beginning to spark, and J4 was definitely part of it. Grunge was dead, and bands of similar style, (mostly from the South East- Creed, Matchbox 20, Seven Mary 3) were starting to take over. The South East definitely had a sound, and J4 was part of it. A Few major players in the music business had flown out to see the band, and asked them if they would be interested in coming out to Los Angeles. The 2 members then relocated to LA.
Once in Los Angeles J4 began recording and releasing music under LOL Records ("The Artists label"). Things started picking up for J4 once they released their third studio album titled "A Dozen Dead Flowers." The third track "Midnite" can be heard on radio stations across the continent. "A Dozen Dead Flowers" continues to be a success story for the band. Songs like "Gentleman", (1st song) "Don't wake me" (2nd song), and of course "Midnite" (3rd song), continue to be used on tv shows like MTV's "Made", and in movies worldwide. The CD is available everywhere music is sold. (iTunes, Music Rebellion, Amazon, Tower Records, Best Buy...) Click for store locations. J4 are currently recording new material, and are releasing a 4 song sampler EP containing tracks from their new CD (coming soon!) titled "Feeling normal".
As far as a live show goes, The band has played everywhere. And J4 can play. Before a single note is struck, you'll find yourself sucked in by the charisma of the band alone. And when the music starts, rest assured you will enjoy the show. J4 have played everywhere from Toronto, to Nashville, to Los Angeles. They’ve played every club in Los Angeles including world famous clubs like "The Viper Room", "The Whisky", "The Troubadour", "The Mint", "The Garage", "The Gig", "The Joint"…pretty much every major club you can imagine. The single has put the band in the national spotlight. Soon to become international. And all of this lead to a great tour last summer. J4 played their own club tour, and on the "2004 Vans Warped Tour". The Warped Tour exposed J4 to an even bigger fan base, and their new fans certainly enjoyed the music. And once again J4 will be playing this summer on the 2005 "Vans Warped Tour".
J4 is managed by Brian Lowe, (Brian Lowe Management) who has worked with many major recording artists.("Macy Gray", "Perfect Circle"," 311" etc..)
