I’ve had the pleasure of seeing regionally renowned indie band Jimkata a time or two. So, when I saw that they had a show scheduled at the Oneonta Theatre, a place I’ve grown to truly love, it was a no-brainer. What I was certainly not prepared for is how an Oneonta Jimkata show stacks up against one in any other location. You think you like them? You have no idea, world!

Go see this band in their hometown and the full impact of their accomplishment and their musicianship is impressed upon you by the teeming mass of fans! They’re local legends there, you see, and the young social set in the area knows all about them. They came out in droves, pushed to the very front of the stage, and sang every single word at the top of their lungs. That’s a pretty touching thing. I’m so glad I got to see it in action.

With the weight of fan love upon us, #TeamFuze sat down with drummer, Packy Lunn, to discuss that and all other things Jimkata. Please enjoy the thoughtful retrospective as well as what the future holds in store for this level headed, talented band.
