JANUARY 19, 2023 (New York, New York) —JANUARY JANE will be playing Gramercy Theatre in NYC (127 E 23rd St, New York, NY 10010) on Saturday, January 28. Performing tracks from their 2021 EP, Your Drug including “Versions of You” that Hollywood Life says has “the energy of a supernova,” the title track “Your Drug” about the euphoric feeling of falling head over heels while in over your head, and their “spirited” (Variety) cover of the Hall & Oates hit “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)” (which updates the ‘80s hit by adding a modern cinematic swirl), the NYC-based threepiece will be returning to the stage since before the pandemic. “I can’t wait to get on stage in our hometown, in our favorite month nonetheless,” says lead vocalist/lyricist Pat Via. “It’s going to be an epic time playing in the Big Apple at Gramercy Theatre!” Guitarist Mitch Mitchell emphasizes, “Our job is to make sure that the city that never sleeps lives up to its nickname; at least on Saturday, January 28, that is.”
Their Your Drug EP was “created over a span of four or five years and across various time zones,” says keyboardist Peter Scialla, but they’ve always stayed true to the vision of “wanting to take the listener on a ride through our experience in New York City.” Via emphasizes that the tracks on the EP are the “ups and downs of love, the nightlife, the city’s ability to take you places you never thought you could go.” Mitchell adds, “These five songs are chock full of emotion, exuberance, loneliness, consternation and hunger.” The Hunnypot lauds “There is plenty to love about January Jane. If you like pop music with soul, with groove, and with musical twists, do not sleep on this band.” News Whistle describes the EP as “dispensing caffeinated pop that serves up a happy jolt.”
Lead single “Versions of You” had previously spent weeks on Billboard’s Top 40 HOT AC charts and received support from the likes of MTV Spankin’ New, MTV Live, MTVU, Music Choice Hit List, and Chorus.fm.
Initially formed as a duo after Via and Mitchell met by chance at an art gallery, the two hit it off so well that they decided to start writing music together… immediately. Their chemistry was instantly apparent as they had an outline for their first song sketched out in a mere ten minutes of their first session. The trio was rounded out by Scialla, who they met at a private party in NYC’s trendy Meatpacking District. Scialla was playing piano at the gathering and the two were immediately drawn in and decided to play with him on the spot. As Scialla explains, “We’ve put so much into this band. Now we absolutely want to get it out there in a very big way.”
