Jet Lag Palm
Wednesday, July 23
MA'CHELL DUMA LAVASSAR
You know that saying, "reeks of potential?" Well, the phrase is apt for Bellingham trio Jet Lag Palm. JLP knocked around for a few years before cementing their present line up, and are currently playing dues-worthy gigs like the one at the Central last week. These boys seem to have come up with a particularly intoxicating aroma that possesses a heavy, heavy top note of Replacements (so much so they claim Minneapolis is their town home and are seriously contemplating moving there. I have one almost-word for you boys...brrrrrr), an under note of Wilco, wispy hints of Whiskeytown on a bender, The Boss and Budweiser. Songwriter Jude Huff seems able to walk the precarious tightrope of ripping off his beer-soaked heroes without sounding like a redundant thief and I'm hoping these boys don't leave us before they spread their bar band Eau de Westerberg around a little. - Seattle Weekly

Bio
Jet Lag Palm came together in Bellingham, Washington in 2007. Jones and the Brothers Huff bonded instantly as friends and musicians, creating music that reflects their small-town roots and weaves together seemingly divergent musical backgrounds.
Listening to Jet Lag Palm reveals subtle influences such as Wilco, Clutch, Whiskey Town, Uncle Tupelu, The Police, and the Replacements (and of course, many more). Yet Jet Lag Palm have created their own style of rock music altogether. See them live and you'll understand.
Before convening as Jet Lag Palm, members of the band did time with other NW outfits (Silence Dogood, Zebra 3, The Revelators) and played venues as small as living rooms and as large as the Experience Music Project, and everything in between. As Jet Lag Palm, this trio have struck out to do the same, and more.
