Sputnik Slovenia

Jim—-Biography Jim (aka Sputnik Slovenia aka Jimi Jet) has been a fixture on the local Denver and national music scene for more than 12 years. From his humble west coast beginnings in an outfit called Pagan Ritual (with Miguel Barron of Horace Pinker and Armchair Martian), to his local frontman duties with the likes of Evil Hick, Negative Man(with Commander Adama of Agression), and Jet Black Joy(Best Ambassadors of Wet-Panty Rock- Best of Westword Magazine 2004)http://bestof.westword.com/bestof/award.php?award=37972&year=, Jim has kept busy combining humor, politics and ubiquitous music stylings to hone an act that has seen Jim rise to local cult hero status. But Jim has not limited himself to just the local scene. Having toured nationally and internationally with the likes of Agent Orange, Horace Pinker, and Doc Hopper, Jim has left an indelible mark on a medium that is supersaturated in mediocrity. 2007 has again seen the road rise with Jim as he was given the title “Best Happy Hour Troubadour” by Westword magazine for his acoustic stylings each Friday at The Larimer Lounge in Denver. http://www.westword.com/bestof/award.php?award=377910 Currently, Jim is fresh off a Brazilian tour(Van’s Zona Punk Tour), and in the studio finishing three different projects. With his new punk outfit called Pitch Invasion, Jim will be releasing an album of originals slated for a February ’08 debut. He has also just completed recording tracks for a punk rock tribute band called One Time Only. This band features members of national skate-punks Frontside Five. This year will also see Jim releasing his first solo album. This will be a mix of acoustic, rock, and techno tracks guaranteed to please. To find out more about Jim, visit www.rumdummy.com.
