(September 17, 2009 – Brooklyn, NY) In an effort to bring back some programming power to the fans, MTV and Garnier Fructis have teamed up to encourage viewers to cast their votes for the next breakout artist on MTV. J*DaVeY, amongst four other buzz bands, have been hand-selected to participate in the “I Want My Music On MTV” contest.

The winner of this innovative promotion will perform at the 2009 MTV Woodie Awards in November and have their music added to the music network’s video rotation. Each participating voter stands the chance of winning an all-inclusive, VIP trip for two to New York City where they will attend the awards and rub shoulders along the winners of the competition.

By definition, a “breakthrough sound” must ascend the confines of cliché labels and genres. Blending and molding sounds with unusual flavor, the ultramodern duo known as J*DaVeY has managed to create an entirely new palate for both those brave enough to experience their ad hoc form of music- equal parts rock, pop, electronica, jazz-fusion and hip-hop. The release of their 2008 EP, The Beauty in Distortion/The Land of The Lost (Interdependent Media/ i L L a V 8 r) received beaming reviews in a variety of formats, and was instrumental in the decision to satiate the discriminating and ever-evolving tastes of a mass audience.

(April 6, 2009 – Brooklyn, NY) Fresh off winning MTVU’s Freshman 5 for their brand new video, “Slooow,” J*DaVeY, the genre bending California-based duo are proud to announce an upcoming European tour for the month of April. The tour, which kicks off April 8 in London, will span almost two weeks and feature performances in seven European cities, including stops in Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and more.

More than just a run-of-the-mill performance, the duo’s live show is an unforgettable experience that has received rave reviews. In The New York Times, writer Jon Caramonica sang the group high praises. In regard to vocalist Jack Davey’s seductively electrifying presence, Caramonica wrote, “Sporting what could only be described as a torrential Mohawk, Ms. Davey was an effortless performer – vocally assured, physically lithe, emotionally raw.” Now, as the duo prepares to head overseas in just a few short days, J*DaVeY’s European fans will have the opportunity to be similarly hypnotized.

After releasing The Beauty In Distortion and The Land Of The Lost double EP to high-acclaim, being featured everywhere from Fader to Allure to CSI: New York, and having performed with the likes of The Roots and Prince, J*DaVeY are prepared to build on their deafening buzz. Their forthcoming release, New Designer Drug, points toward a new direction for J*DaVeY, as the group dives into new sounds and refuses to be boxed, classified, or artistically stagnated. New Designer Drug will feature the guest production efforts from ?uestlove of The Roots, Greg Wells, and Khari Farrai and will be available this summer via Warner Bros Records.
