Jangula have quickly become one of my most listened to new acts. Their songs are true, honest, displays of sharply executed rock. Their live mindset is dedicated to feel good jams that will have everyone dancing. That’s just what they did last night at Pianos.
The Brooklyn 4 piece absolutely bring it live. They have the sound and confidence of a band that’s been at it for years. Jangula’s energy hit you square in the face and you better start dancing, or you’re gonna feel real stupid. Big fat bass lines, sharp guitars, fast controlled drumming and the eclectic sounds of the QChord combine to make Jangula’s insane live arsenal.
For a band that’s at a relatively early stage of the career, they have a rock solid following. A lot of the crowd were singing the songs right back and dancing to them proudly. They’ve been in on the Jangula secret for a while, and they’re proud to let you know it.
All the songs from Jangula’s impressive debut 4 song EP shined live. They played some new songs, as well as a rockin’ cover of The Ronettes classic “Be My Baby” (video of that posted below). The band really should consider covering their version of it. It was a fresh take on the song that was most importantly, a lot of fun, just like the bands show. It’s a welcoming experience that will make your night that much better. Whether the songs are new or familiar to you, you’ll have a good time.
Jangula should be a band that you’re watching intently over the next few months. Something about them has really caught my attention, and they shouldn’t go unnoticed. They will be back in NYC on May 25th to play a free show at Brooklyn Bowl. Mark your calenders.
Jangula’s manager Eugine starting the show off for the guys. You gotta see it yourself:

[...] Four great young band are coming together to create one awesome night of rock that is just as much of a showcase of great young talent as it is an excuse to let loose and make some (good) mistakes. Headlining the bill is Brooklyn’s Not Blood Paint who are known for a very theatrical live show that has (literally) blown a few minds along the way. Right next to them is Jangula, one of my favorite new acts. I’ve seen them before and they rule live. [...]
