Join DJ Poindexter on Wednesday, January 8th @ 4PM when she hosts Brooklyn pop duo, Jeanines, ahead of their Oakland performance at The Starline Social Club later the same night.
Jeanines specialize in ultra-short bursts of energetic but melancholy minor-key pop. With influences that run deep into the most crucial tributaries of DIY pop — Messthethics, the Television Personalities, Marine Girls, early Pastels, Dolly Mixture — they’ve crafted a style that is as individual as it is just plain pleasurable. Alicia Jeanine’s pure, unaffected voice muses wistfully on the illusions of time, while My Teenage Stride/Mick Trouble mastermind Jed Smith’s frantic Motown-esque drumming and inventive bass playing provide a thrilling rhythmic foundation.
Their self titled album is available now on Slumberland Records.
Jeanines will perform twice in the Bay Area: Wednesday, January 8th @ The Starline Social Club in Oakland and Thursday, January 9th @ Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco.
