Register as an official sahara "Hothead" for exclusive previews, downloads, and more! http://fansofjimmycentury.com/wordpress/?page_id=696 The band is best known for their 2008 single "Hot Sahara," from full-length CD Twist of the Banshees, which received national attention on the dance charts as well as 2008 & 2009 featured spots on television shows The L Word, Community, Ugly Betty, The Hills, and Samantha Who? "Hot Sahara" and the related album, Twist of the Banshees, were also on the prelist of nominations for two Grammy awards in the electronic dance category last year. Their 2009 EP Head Go Whoosh featuring "Lola Like This" & "Hush Madame X" is now available everywhere. The lead track, “Lola Like This,” was remixed by Energy 92.7's Trevor Simpson from San Francisco, Haki from Mexico City who scored a big hit last year on Mexican radio with his remix of FOJC’s “Hot Sahara,” Rod Carrillo, the influential program director from Phoenix’s Energy 92.7 who was an early fan and supporter, and LA’s Dave Audé, the go-to pop dance remixer of the year. These remixes are available on Lola Like This: The Apache Dance Remixes. Fans of Jimmy Century's infectious live sets have made them a favorite on the West Coast festival circuit, giving them the opportunity to share the stage with artists such as Lady GaGa, Shiny Toy Guns, Berlin, The Bird and the Bee, and The Presets. Popular media like Dancemusic.About.com champions them, awarding them with nods for both "Global Domination," and "Top 10 Dance Record." After faring well with the dance crowd (even the purists,) their out-of-the-box, alternative dance sounds gained them an invitation to speak on the "Clubland's Hitmakers" panel at DJ Times-sponsored DJ Expo 2008 in Atlantic City alongside dance acts Lady GaGa & Jes. "We're alterna-dance 'n' indie disco with a thing for black velvet paintings and beat poetry," says offbeat lead singer Alicia Perrone. "And we tend to write songs about introverted girls who transform into twisting banshees on the dance floor, where their heads go whoosh." Influenced by everything from indie mods to old school 70's soul, their style maintains an edge that is hard to put down.
