Image and Genre
Jenny and Johnny are a duo whose music is in the Alternative/Indie/Folk genre. Jenny and Johnny style themselves on the looks from the retro 1950’s era with a rock and roll ‘Elvis’ feel as a side order. They both carry off a casual laid back approach that matches their clothes perfectly to create the whole feel of rock and roll even if there music isn’t that.
A similar band like Jenny and Johnny is another band duo, Wye Oak. Wye Oak play similar music and have a similar look to Jenny and Johnny. They are a male and female duo who seems to like unusual photos of them such as:
They dress in casual clothes but have that bit of rock and roll which they portray in the way they play their instruments, such as:
Jenny and Johnny have only in the last few years been a band together, before they joined up Jenny Lewis (the Jenny half of the duo!!!) was in a band called Rilo Kiley. Rilo Kiley’s style was very different to that of Jenny and Johnny’s. The styling was very much three geeks and a friend who’s a girl (not girlfriend!!), the ‘geeks’ of the group wore very stereotypical dress with matching hairstyles with Jenny Lewis was very much the ‘pin up’ of the group and was made to look that way from every angle, maybe too much effort was made in this area….
Johnathan Rice had before joining Jenny Lewis to form Jenny and Johnny a soloist who had had the same style for the majority of his career. His style is the typical folk/indie look with the long hair, shirts/t-shirts and jeans. The whole appearance of him looks like not much time and effort has been afforded to styling his looks. However the genre that he is in requires that kind of look so he pulls it off perfectly.
After Jenny and Johnny formed Jenny and Johnny, their looks were moulded into that the fans know today, the 1950’s, rock and roll style.
