Overview and Background

J.WAIL is an american electronica funk band formed in 2005. The band provides a modern take on funk by combining electronic sounds with live drums, guitar, vocals and synthesizers. [1] J.WAIL was founded by producer and guitarist Jonah Lipsky. Jonah produces all of the music and writes all of the lyrics for the music. Currently J.WAIL resides in Boulder, CO, but tours all around the Unites States and plans to tour in Europe for the summer of 2013.

Discography

J.WAIL's first album is entitled "New Conglomerations from Space" (2005). [2] The band's next album, Sledgepopper, was released on March 29 2009. In 2012 J.WAIL produced its latest album entitled Lazers n Flowers. [3]
