Why this name?
Guess. Jessie's the name of our singer.
Do you play live?
Yes, we play live. Currently diggin' The Loop Lounge in Passaic NJ. We'll be playing our CD Release party there soon! Other shows TBA...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Hopefully, it'll put it in ruins. Corporate music is pure product; the antithesis of musical artistry and expression. "An emotional bond cannot be bought, or sold, or played in rotation. The art of one person will connect only to whom it was meant for."
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Begrudgingly...only so we wouldn't have to work anymore.
Band History:
"The Jessie Project" is what you get when you combine the tastes of a crazy, ex-rap/house DJ from the 1980's-turned heavy metal fan with the club/dance stylings of an experienced female singer: big, slammin' beats, heavy, riff-driven tunes, and a cool chick belting out the vocals. We aim to deliver it all in a way that hasn't quite been done before...we hope you can handle it! - RudeMoody and Jessie Lynn
Your influences?
"pre-CD" era techno/acid/electronic music (Todd Terry Project, Art Of Noise, Royal House, Depeche Mode, New Order, etc...), old-school rap (A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, Eric B. and Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, De La Soul, Boogie Down Productions, LL Cool J) Rock/Punk (Misfits, Danzig, Black Sabbath, Life Of Agony, Ramones, The Doors, Clutch, White Zombie, Elvis, Type O Negative, Soundgarden, Motorhead, Black Label Society) other classic rock and OLD R&B (most modern R&B sucks)
Equipment used:
Whatever piece of crap we can find. For our first album, we used 4 different keyboards (Casio and Yamaha mostly), 2 different distortion/effects pedals, a bass, electric and acoustic guitars, an Audio Technica AT3035 Studio Mic for vocals, about 10 different mixing and audio editing programs, and dipped into a pool of about 12 gigabytes worth of samples...
