This pic of Johnny taken from Colin Athens‘ Flickr pageIndie rockers Jaguar Love have recruited Zach Richards to play drums in time for their new tour. After former-drummer Jay Clark left the band, the remaining members continued on as an electronica-based duet. Original members Cody Votolato and Johnny Whitney both played in the now defunct Blood Brothers before teaming up with an ex-Pretty Girls Make Graves member to form Jaguar Love. The band posted the following on their MySpace on February 16, 2010:

The Mercury let the cat out of the bag a few weeks ago on end hits, but for those of you that didn't hear....SUPRISE! WE GOT A DRUMMER!  the ridiculously talented Zach Richards of the band "Party Girls" will be joining us on our upcoming tour starting with the 26th in tacoma!  will post video's soon so you all can see how hard he slays! Hologram Jams+Live Drums=super awesome live show.  Can't wait for you all to see!

Sadly, no more Pretty Girls Make Graves members are in the band, but I hear they're all working on other projects.

I'm very excited about the new drummer! The band's aggression doesn't come through as well sans drums. Their new album, Hologram Jams, drops March 2nd by way of indie label Fat Possum. Jaguar Love will be performing at the Opolis in Norman on Sunday, March 14th. The show starts at 8pm. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 day of show. Depth And Current, Gentle Ghost, and Joshua Distance of Dance Robots, Dance! will be performing that night as well. This deal is almost criminal! Be there, support your local venue, and support these bands!! Here are a few tracks to chew on. Just so you know, Johnny Whitney's vocals have been described as "like Robert Plant on steroids, or Perry Farrell after a sex change." I personally like his voice, but it's not for everyone. You've been warned. Enjoy!
