The seething underdog. The blues siren. The vaudevillain. The jilted lover. The trash and the treasure. The many faces of Harlequin Jones set the stage for a post-punk, dark cabaret, blues concoction of music "suitably dramatic...to guide us through hell."
Harlequin Jones infuse elements of blue devils, unmade silent film scores, seedy circus life, and a rock n' roll influenced background to challenge the listener with originality of an art project gone terribly right. Amanda von Loon’s trashy elegance on piano, along with rich, nearly husky vocals compliment Yishai Arcadio’s part jazz-master part scrap-metal machine drumming to result in a synergy of moxie, chemistry, and talent.
Harlequin Jones became a fully functional weapon officially in 2005 in an antiquated bedroom in Simi Valley, CA. Ever since Von Loon and Arcadio found their compatibility to fit like lock and key, they continue to search and destroy in Hollywood, CA. The band is in process of recording a second self-produced EP.
