JEFF The Brotherhood Visits The Alternate Side

Brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall of JEFF The Brotherhood have been creative partners since childhood and continue to work together on various projects. The two of them run their own record label called Infinity Cat and release their own music as well as a whole slew of other bands like Heavy Cream, Natural Child and Daniel Pujol. The brothers Orrall have been in several bands together, from The Sex to the late Be Your Own Pet, and now, JEFF The Brotherhood.

JEFF the Brotherhood's debut album, out now, is Heavy Days. The brothers Orrall recently paid a visit to The Alternate Side's Studio A for an interview and live performance. I talked with them about music and life's tomfoolery. I witnessed some very funny sibling interactions too. One that I particularly enjoyed happened right before they were about to play a song:

Jake: Jamin, I just wrote a guitar riff.

Jamin (unenthused): Great.

Jake (excited): Do you want to hear it?

Jamin (unimpressed): No.

Jake: (trying to convince him): It's good though!

Jamin (unimpressed): Okay.

Jake: You wanna just hear it real fast?

(Jamin rolls his eyes as Jake starts playing as his brother listens)

beat

Jamin (still unimpressed): Great.

After that brief interaction, they proceeded to rock out as loud as humanly possible in an excellent performance of a new song, tentatively called "Diamond Dimension:"

The guys have a bunch of really cool music videos out now too:

And here's what they had to say about their Bone Jam video:

JEFF The Brotherhood will be on my show at 11am EST on Tuesday, December 22, so be sure to listen for more of their interview and performance. Plus, the brothers will be touring this winter, including a road trip with Screaming Females that kicks off on February 6 at New York's Bowery Ballroom.
