Headed by Chris Courtney, lead vocals and guitar, and Sal Prizio, guitar and vocals, the guys play a winning mixed set of carefree danceable-to tunes and self-reflective ballads that sound just as good acoustic as they do plugged in. Full of youthful energy and still poignant at times, it's the kind of music you can enjoy with or without the accompaniment of the hazy happiness that only a good ole beer buzz can bring.
Spend an intimate night with Janie Superstar, who oft frequent Lion's Den and CBGB Lounge in the Village in New York City and various locations in CT, while you can before you find yourself paying forty bucks, not including Ticketmaster surcharges, to strain to watch them from the third tier of a sold out 20,000-seat stadium. They're already moving on up with a gig at The Elbow Room coming up this Wednesday, October 16. You can find more information about the band, as well as song clips and show dates, at www.janiesuperstar.com.
A night out with Janie Superstar is best summed up when lead singer Courtney sings:
"Got to the pub around a quarter to nine, sippin' on a beer and feelin' mighty fine. smoky room, music's loud, watchin' all my worries get lost in the crowd.
I feel free all around me, I see me all around me singin' (la la la's)"
And that is what it's all about.
