Hi it’s JC Penny, the singer. I showed up a couple of hours before the show and the first thing I noticed inside the door of Local 269 is ammonia. I think people barf there a lot. However the sound was terrific. I felt at home as soon as I started screaming. We had a […]

JC Penny here again. It’s always me actually. If you sing it means you got something to say. Guitarist Lovely Louie loved this show. He proclaims it top 3. Grimlock liked but I think we were too loose for his taste. Candy declares it his all time fave. Yoko came up to me after and […]
Hey. Sorry haven’t written in a while. Have been writing songs. Planning a new website for the band. It’s summer and we usually take a break from each other. I don’t even want to be writing right now but I found something crazy in this blog system. I can’t sleep these days and so I […]
I liked it. Louie not as much. Candy liked it. I forget to take Yoko and Grimlock’s temperatures on it. The OAM (Original Act for Mankind) theme for this gig was a corporate training session entitled.. Better Living Thru Rock We all wore acrylic, ugly sweaters. We figured we’re too ugly to try and look […]
Sorry haven’t posted in a longtime. Yes, you. The person that once promised me he’s added our blog to his RSS feed. This one’s for you, darling… It’s been a long time since I’ve written. I should have because I promised the guitarist who is the Paul Mcartney of the band I would. I’m the […]

Two Days with Spookey Ruben
Spookey (yellow top, skipper hat) confers with DOP (Dave?), and JC Penny (me) at back near phone booth and bubble machine Spookey Ruben is a great artist. He can write music and sing almost as good as I can. However, he does one thing that I suck and fail at time and time again: he […]
We played with Run With the Kittens and Jay Spectre last night at the Horseshoe. I threw up this morning but remembered to rip the elf ears off my head before going to bed. My original act for mankind last night was to be an elf with a cold. I already had a cold so […]
So I’ve been talking about Run With the Kittens since I saw them by accident six months ago at the Cameron House. I just did a gig myself at The Horseshoe and my dick was swinging, breaking car windows on Queen St. I went into the Cameron for more dick swinging juice and there they […]

I’m not gonna say much here except a verse from ‘Maximum Sherpa’, the last track on our now CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED record. I thought that maybe wings would But no, fly freak, fly! You are too ugly to live And too expensive to die Because that’s how the band felt about this record when we finished […]

My crocs made it to NOW Magazine
We played Clinton’s tavern on Nov 6. I just found out that there was a music critic from NOW Magazine in the audience and he wrote a review. He hated us. The thing is he was there to see Flowers of Hell whom he thought was okay but didn’t do nearly as much thinking about […]

Clinton’s Tavern, nov 6
Last night we played Clinton’s… again. I was pretty great. The rest of the band was okay. I wore checkered Moschino pants. The same one’s Jim Carrey wore on the cover of Vanity Fair forty thousand years ago. I said this to five thousand people last night and nobody remembers it. If you know me […]

Statement#6 from JC Penny
JC Penny sent me the following message yesterday. I received it at 10:46pm. BEGIN Alex, you’ll want this somehow for your book. It’s something I keep yelling inside my head regarding Dirty Penny and my role as front word man: it is that in the ladder of overall quality of musical entertainment for the experience […]
I get asked a lot why I spend so much time covering the evolution of Dirty Penny. “Don’t you have better things to do?” friends and my mother say to me. The truth is I spend a lot of time. I basically am allowed to be around them anytime I want except their bedrooms. I […]
