After work on Tuesday night, I walked over to the Grammercy Theater to see Jared's band play! Here's Jared fresh off the road with Gurj before the show.
Jared used to be the lead singer of Group Sounds (a NYC band known best for getting naked on stage) and now he runs a jingle house in NYC that's BLOWING UP called Jingle Punks. Here's Jared playing one of his new tunes for the crowd.
Jared and I reminisced about Sexy Joe's previous post-show antics (like when he draped his ding-dong on Meredith's arm!) and we tried to talk him into getting completely naked and posing on motorcycle that was parked on the street, but he totally wasn't having any of it.
But then as soon as the music was turned back on and the bouncer guy walked to the back of the room, a bunch of people went up anyway to help the band play the last few songs.
...and Jared was inviting the entire audience to join the band on stage. The bouncer dude had the sound guy kill the audio and ran up to Jared and was like "No. No way. Got it?" Hahaha.
The show started out like any normal rock show, but after only a couple of songs, Sexy Joe stripped down into his undies...and then a few songs after that...
I put "last show" in quotes because Group Sounds broke up like 2 years ago and they play a "last show" every six months. Hahaha. Every time I ask them about it they're like "Well, we might play another show in a like a year, but who knows! And if we don't, then this definitely will be our last show." (And they say that same thing EVERY time.).
On Wednesday I went out and ended up running into the guys from Group Sounds and we ended up out on a bender. About four seconds after I took this photo, that blond girl slapped Jared right in the face. Hahahah.
I ran into my buddy Jared on the dancefloor! (Jared was the lead singer of the now defunct New York band, Group Sounds. They recently released what is HANDS DOWN, the funniest music video I've ever seen in my life. I know I say that about a lot of things, but trust me on this. Take three minutes out of your day right now and watch it: Temporarily in Love by Group Sounds.
