"Think Mother Love Bone, Pavement and Matthew Sweet... " "On the verge." ~ Relix magazine “Last December, Danny Tamberelli and Mike Maronna, stars of the beloved Nickelodeon show “The Adventures of Pete & Pete,” reunited at the New Haven, Connecticut club Toad’s Place. The occasion: a benefit show for former Miracle Legion frontman and tribute album beneficiary, Mark Mulcahy, whose wife died. (Mulcahy’s band Polaris was responsible for the “Pete and Pete” theme song.) Maronna played with Jounce, Tamberelli’s band, and the bill also featured Elvis Perkins, Chris Harford, and Fountains of Wayne’s Chris Collingwood.” ~ Pitchfork

“The
prime time moment was when Jounce did “Snacks and Candy.”
The song had been promoted in the press as Jounce features Danny
Tamberelli— “Little Pete” on The Adventures of
Pete & Pete, the classic Nickelodeon TV show for which [Mark]
Mulcahy provided the soundtrack—and had invited along the
show’s “Big Pete,” Mike Maronna, to join in on
guitar. The Petes turned out to be the big celebrities in the
room, and their three-song set (which also included Mulcahy’s
“The Heart is Attached” and a Jounce original, “Who
Hates the Office”) showcased Tamberelli’s impressive
singing voice and the fun he has rockin’ his bass.”

Jounce's most recent album, "Meet Me in the Middle" was released April 4, 2011. "These Things," was released to critical acclaim in March 2009 and features guest appearances by Marco Benevento (The Duo) and Tom Hamilton (American Babies/Brother's Past). The band recorded a version of Miracle Legion’s “The Heart is Attached” as part of a compilation released in September 2009 titled, “Ciao My Shining Star:The Songs of Mark Mulcahy” and dedicated to Miracle Legion front man Mark Mulcahy. The compilation also featured Radioheads’s Thom Yorke, The National, Frank Black of the Pixies, Elvis Perkins, and others, and was covered by media from Stereogum to Pitchfork.
The band is a mainstay at bars, clubs, music halls, colleges and festivals up and down the eastern United States, consistently building an audience, buzz and refining their presence in both the live and studio settings. Jounce has been doing well developing their NYC following at places like the Mercury Lounge, in New England surrounding their former home of Amherst/Northampton, in the upper south in places like Virginia and the Carolinas ,where some of the band went to college (James Madison University) and through festival plays in those regions. |
Jounce
is now finalizing their new EP, "Meet Me In The Middle,"
which will be released at New York's CMJ Festival in October 2010.
