Avant-garde dance rock / indie disco group Fans of Jimmy Century got off to a fast start when their 2008-2009 single, “Hot Sahara,” climbed the Billboard Dance charts, reaching #23. Both “Hot Sahara” and its accompanying album, Twist of the Banshees, were on the pre-ballot in the Electronic Dance category for the Grammy Awards in 2008.
“Hot Sahara,” & additional FOJC tracks have been selected for key placements in several popular television shows such as The L Word (in a scene so steamy, it’s now referred to by L Word fanatics as “The Hot Sahara Scene”)… , Gossip Girl, Melrose Place, Community, Ugly Betty, The Hills, The Listener, and Samantha Who?
Popular 2011 film releases including Columbia Pictures’ “Bad Teacher” starring Cameron Diaz & Justin Timberlake, and Warner Bros.’ “Hall Pass” starring Owen Wilson will feature “Hot Sahara, “ “Lola Like This,” and “Your Crying Game” in the DVD bonus features of those films this summer.
Popular Brands / Advertisers Forever 21, Roxy Europe, and Zippo Lighters are also using FOJC songs in their 2011 online commercials/ads.
In 2010 FOJC collaborated for LucasArts, assisting composer Mark Griskey with the new Star Wars video game. They also launched a “Hot Sahara for Haiti” campaign, partnering with Windows 7 & ReverbNation to engage their fans, known as Hotheads, to raise over $500 for Haiti earthquake response. In May 2010, they were chosen to perform at the largest fashion show on the West Coast, Charity Fashion Show 2010, at Stanford University, and were later featured performers at The East Bay Express’ annual Best of the East Bay 2010 event in Jack London Square in August, performing in front of a crowd of 3000.

to valiumCrush, yeah they o definitely cross over all genres, but you're right. The similar artists that Last.fm connects them with don't sound like them. I'm a huge L Word fan and used to buy the imixes at Itunes of the episodes. The artists that show up on their page as similar are the artists that were in the same L Word episode with them. That's probably why all of those artists as a group don't sound similar in style. They were just in the same L Word episode. That's a Last.fm glitch in terms of music discovery of similar artists in my opinion.

Ya know what I don't get? I don't get why Last.fm lumps you in with indie alternative artists when you're so sexy electronic dance pop. Does it have to do with being on the L Word and being in that artist group? Because the bands you're most similar to never come up on your Fans of Jimmy Century radio station.
