Artist description Tragic/comic lyrics deployed strategically over a battlefield of beats! Jesse Jace Thomas fuses stuck-in-the-80s synthpop sensibilities with crispy, crunchy guitars and 8-bit bleeps. The songs are about girls, video games and college classes. The music has been compared (maybe not accurately, but it has been compared) to Chris Mars, Ben Lee and Duran Duran. Weird.

Music Style laptop pop

Musical Influences Thomas Dolby, The Police, The Dambuilders, Archers of Loaf, REM, video game music

Artist History Jesse was the drummer for Oshkosh WI band Casper Milktoast for the entirety of the band's five-year existence, during which he occasionally played solo gigs as "SEN" or "SEN78." One of his early songs, "Jenna Jameson," became a local coffee house favorite, and even managed to grab the attention of the adult film actress herself. Casper Milktoast disbanded in 1998, later reforming as Hong! (who occasionally enlisted Jesse as a keyboard player / guitarist / vocalist). In September 2002 Jesse released his first LP, Places At Night, on his own DIY label, American Dodgeball Records. It contains 14 original songs, plus a cover of the Hong! classic "Sterno."
