ABOUT FOJC

From Oakland CA, Las Vegas-based Fans of Jimmy Century is the modwave, modsquad genre-bending duo of vocalist|voice actor Alicia Perrone and bassist|producer|video director Victor James. “Best of My Generation (All The Way)” distributed by United Masters was the featured NBA song on MVP 2019-2021 winner Giannis “The Greek Freak” Antetokounmpo’s highlight reel. FOJC’s latest television placement of note in January 2022, is now playing on Netflix’s Top 10 hit show “Emily in Paris.” 2014’s “Va Va Voom to the Moon” is experiencing a rebirth thanks to the show’s soundtrack success and a great featured post of the FOJC’s video on media empire Pop Sugar.

FOJC is a member of the AWAL/Kobalt (now) Sony Music family of artists and teamed up to release their single “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go vs Love TKO,” a 70’s-style babymaking mod soulful remake of the 80’s Wham! classic pop song. Their comedic YouTube series “The Babymakers” was created to tease the single – a full album “Songs From The Babymakers Series,” a collection of 80s songs turned on by the 70s, is scheduled for 2022.

FOJC’s new uplifting funky single “Rocket Star” was written for this year’s Bongo Boy Records compilation Kidz and Katz by Various Artists, with an additional release this Summer 2021, mixed and mastered by supporter and Grammy-winner Luca Pretolesi known for his work with Diplo, Major Lazer, Steve Aoki, and Snoop Lion. “Rocket Star” was written not only with the younger generation in mind, but also for the young bloods, the young at heart…to feel some bliss again after such a dark year. A corresponding lyric video was released on the heels of the single and submitted to the 64th Grammys Awards. And more recently in December 2021, FOJC did an exclusive YouTube release of a villainous mod jazzy version of “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” featuring hand rod puppets.

In November 2020, Fans of Jimmy Century was invited to perform in the biggest livestream musical concert of all time, the iVoted Election Night Festival, as the top trending artist in the swing state of Nevada.

FOJC is inspired by genre-bending, creating characters/alter egos to match their songs’ vibes/videos. They create funny music videos, like the 70s-inspo prank music video spoofing buddy films for the rock/rap electro/punk iTunes-charting single “Best of My Generation.” The song was a big stretch from the the wickedly kitsch, vampy villainous swing of “All My Friends Are Ice Queens” and began their obsession with genre-bending. Their YouTube and branding focuses on music, comedy commentary, and pop culture / slop culture.

Back in 2013 FOJC signed with Bungalo/Universal, but left to self-release in 2015. Film and Television syncs include Netflix’s Top 10 hit Emily in Paris, the Warner Bros. film Get Hard, NBA, Ray Donovan, Law and Order: SVU, Gossip Girl, The L Word, Finding Nemo, Hall Pass, Bad Teacher, Housewives of NYC, Snapped etc.

FOJC has been collaborating with producer Chris Moon (known for discovering Prince) and will re-launch their popular residency live production show “Fatale Originale” on the Las Vegas strip southside in 2022.

FANS OF JIMMY CENTURY's FATALE ORIGINALE

In mid-2016 we were offered a residency on the Las Vegas strip Southside at The Copa Room and decided to start our own production show called “Fatale Originale” featuring us and our talented performer friends here in Las Vegas. We had to take a year off from the show to write new material, but Fatale Originale returns in 2019! Our independent show is drawing from 250-350 consistently right now, so if you’re local to Vegas or vacationing, come see us! Watch the Fatale Originale Trailer now! And check our Facebook page for upcoming dates.

BLOG REVIEWS eSENSUALS ALBUM

“The best of everything rolled into the only album you need. The sound of the underground. Favourite Tracks? I don’t understand the question. There’s nothing to compare here. My mind has no say in this matter. My body is possessed. This duo is pow-wowing themselves to the front of the line. This kinda vogue is not to be told what to do, when and how, making this act a little renegade, somewhat dangerous, and if played smart, a force to be reckoned with. It’ll seduce you and tango you around the room like a wolf in hunt, like pretty lights, like fire it will burn you, and like dark-punk-bass it’ll drop you into the hood and bling you out of the galaxy.”

LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RED CARPET

2018

“In short, the world is about to become fans of Fans of Jimmy Century. Lyrically, they maintain the standard of slaying one-liners. Descriptions can only do so much justice, they combine the sultry sensuality of Goldfrapp and Portishead, the sassy modern pop of St. Vincent and the quirky charm of pop’s great eccentric visionaries like Kate Bush. Alicia Perrone’s charismatic vocals capture your attention immediately.”

THE FAULKNER REVIEW

2018

“…influences from the likes of Prince, Queen, Bowie and beyond. Great bands not only create great music, they create their own worlds. Welcome to the singular, extraordinary, stand out and stand apart world of Fans of Jimmy Century…astonishing and strikingly accomplished collection of musical style, idea and influence, and a testament to the dedication, passion and sacrifice required of the modern artist.”

BRASH BLOG

2018

“A highlight and true heart of the sound comes from the intense, powerful vocals. A sense of humor is infused into the album as well, ensuring that the lyricism takes front and center stage. The stylistic choices result in a great deal of genre bending. Ranging from elements of sleazy electro to nods to noir, everything about the album feels unexpected and alive.”

BEACH SLOTH

“…shockingly different reality. This is the world of FOJC. It’s a world of curly-haired Cubans, South-American brunettes and breakfasts at Tiffany’s…survival is everything. The atmosphere is international with cigarette smoke….All your friends are Ice-Queens and all your enemies are all of your fears! I’d heard their song ‘All My Friends Are Ice Queens’ & just had to get them on the show. It’s a vaudevillian knocked-up satire of a song. It’s idolatrous & wicked & smells of witchcraft. Alicia’s vocal defeats you…Vic’s musical arrangement abandons you somewhere deep in the post-war underground sleaze-world of Berlin…you’ll never want to leave.”

GET TO THE CHORUS BLOG

“So incredible it captivated us and sparked a new found interest in a genre that we rarely hear today! Funky, electronic that makes you feel like you’re on a “musical high.” With a vibrant resonance and idiosyncratic voice, FOJC projects a feeling of individualism and stands out in an overcrowded music troupe today.”

BUZZ MUSIC WE HEARD IT FIRST L.A.

“Things I Like: Bands who don’t understand the term “generic boundaries” whose music defies pigeon-holing like no other. They bend everything from warped electronica, futuristic show tunes, dirge disco, accessible pop, hip-hop and even occasional rock muscle to their will and the result is as glorious as it is unpredictable. If you could bottle and sell their exquisite music thought processes to other musicians looking for inspiration then you would make a fortune. The only thing is what the hell would you write on the label?”

DANCING ABOUT ARCHITECTURE

“…the highly-gifted Fans of Jimmy Century showcase to us just why they are the act to follow in the world of music.”

SOUND OF NOW

“…tracks on eSensuals are memorable revealing the wit and creativity of the creators…finds the perfect balance between skill, aesthetics, humor, and the avant garde without ever coming across as pretentious or ego-driven.”

STEPKID MAGAZINE

“…you are transported to a smokey club in the underground sleaze world of post-war Berlin complete with James Bond-style characters, the kind that’s frequented by the type of people your mother warned you about, but like every inquisitive soul you can’t help but push that door ajar to explore just a little more and once in, you’ll never want to leave.”

STUART SAFFERY, SATURDAY SELECTION CHANNEL ONE UK

“Madonna and Gaga would be impressed. So would the artist formerly known as Prince.”

LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RED CARPET

“…you’re not ready for the endless creativity, imagination, wild sound, and straight-up fun this duo provides!”
