This was a funny show. I’ve been the front man for this band for over 20 years. About 15 years ago I started incorporating theatre into our shows. I would develop a character, a narrative. There would always be something you’ve never seen before. I would call these things original acts for mankind or OAMs […]

I’m JC Penny, lead singer and lyricist for Dirty Penny. I’ve been married for 18 years and it follows that my spouse is sick of my shit by now. She’s over it. If she comes to a show she brings her knitting and only if someone she likes is going too. Sometimes she waits in […]
A wonderful thing happened when I emailed the band asking “Can we rename our album ‘Institutional Jello’?” just a few days before launch of our 2019 release “The Endless Light of K Yamaguchi“. Our drummer Justin “Faceman” Cathcart had a koniption and exploded into a genius list of alternative album names. This golden list is […]
Our 4th Album “The Endless Light of K Yamaguchi” is now availble for purchase/streaming on all the big corporate streams but who cares because it’s available on ~~~~ BANDCAMP ~~~~ https://dirtypenny.bandcamp.com/album/the-endless-light-of-k-yamaguchi And here’s the regular list of big powerful music streamers run by the giants of our time that have to pay artists next to […]
I’m so happy (and drunk)! Not sure U I’m able to write inteligibly.. This is turning ito a we-e-eird story. It starts with the laww firm Tobyy, Signey and Gannet seizing our record to months ago and it it looks like our producer Brendan Bane didn’t hire them. The day after this crappy news I […]
“So..uh..wa..its..I..haaag” are just some of the words I said on the phone last night when it became clear that our producer legendary genius asshole, Brendan Bane, sent his lawyers to Lacquer Channel and our studio to confiscate all our music for our upcoming album because he “doesn’t recall producing it”. In short he has launched a […]
In the summer of 2016 we got Brendan Bane to take a break from producing gold records for Eminem and Peaches and do our 4th record “The Moon” (dropping Oct 2018). There’s not a wasted moment on this 40 minute album. Over the two weeks it took to record “The Moon”, we grew to understand […]

Our new drummer, Justin Cathcart
“Justin Cathcart Your Business Consultant” is the new Dirty Penny drummer because once upon a time John Lennon said “yes” to a question and Playboy made it their feature article. Because Tool just spent 8 years in court and that’s why there’s been no new Tool album in 8 years. Captain Beefheart’s “Trout Mask Replica” […]
There was nothing mean about Scott “Candy” Fletcher. In the 8 years he has been Dirty Penny’s drummer, not one of us can say he has ever said a mean thing about anyone in or outside the room he was in. He was a shit-hard drummer. Our fans called him “The Machine”. He was the […]
That was a helluva show. Dirty Penny has been playing for 13 years. We’re really good at our sound now. Hi, I’m JC Penny, the singer. So for every show I like to do a character, a little bit of theatre for the eyes. Other bands have criticized us for this. They say “If you […]
Hi, it’s the lead singer, JC Penny. How’s it going? I made this album cover. It came to me years ago when I started writing the songs for our new record (drops Sep 21, 2013) and trying to put myself in the shoes of a mother of a fallen soldier. I think it’s likely that […]
Dirty Penny has had a terrible ride making this record. 3 producers in 4 years, many depressions, some fights that were not about the record but clearly about the record, over-budget, despondency, murder (of insects), the bassist is pissed off because he’s been in the band for 4 years and he’s still not on an […]
