Tim Kinsella Biography

Tim Kinsella is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on October 22, 1974 in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Tim Kinsella got his start musically around 1989 , when heand his brother, Mike Kinsella, met Sam Zurick as well as Victor Villarreal to form Cap’n Jazz. They were all students at the time but it was some time to be serious about their music. After several name changes and the addition of guitar player Davey von Bohlen, the group decided to take music with serious intent, eventually gaining the attention of a large fan base and recognition in the underground music scene in Chicago along with the midwest.

Friend/Enemy was founded in 2001, as the next in a string of projects led by Kinsella. The core group of the band is Kinsella, Todd Mattei (also of Joan of Arc), and Jim Becker (Califone). The band can be classified as an edgy, folk- punk band that lies between T.V. Smith and Captain Beefheart. Kinsella’s signature postmodern beat poet performance takes a more shrewd more adult and mature direction and Becker is a major contributor to unexpected sounds, such as pedal steel, banjo, and the percussion. The debut album, 10 Songs, was recorded at the Slabb in Chicago and included a number of Chicago’s musical elite contributing sounds. This included vocals of Caryn Culp (Plastic Crime Wave) as well as keyboards from Andy Lansagan (the 90 Day Men) and the bass of Nick Macri (Euphone, Sunny Day Real Estate), piano played by Azita Shessefi (Bride of No no) and drums performed by Zach Hill (Hella), and bass by Sam Zurick (Joan of Arc, Owls).

Kinsella is known for his eccentric singing voice, and has worked as a bartender at the Rainbo Club in Chicago’s Ukrainian Village neighborhood for most of his adult life. His brother Mike Kinsella refers to his bartending in the song “Breaking Away” on Owen’s (The EP) (2004).

Make Believe is 2003’s touring version of Joan of Arc, consisting of singer Tim Kinsella, guitarist Sam Zurick, bassist Bobby Burg, and drummer Nate Kinsella. After 3 months of touring solidified their playing together, they returned home and decided to follow this impulse and write new songs with a more aggressive approach. But they all knew it had to be something different than Joan of Arc. For it to be represented as a true collaboration and reflect its totally different approach to songwriting and speak for itself it had to shake whatever connotations the band name Joan of Arc had acquired. Their first full-length Shock of Being was released on October 4, 2005. In June 2007 Kinsella left the band to focus on other projects and married life. However, months after his departure from the band, Kinsella rejoined his bandmates and recorded their third album in fall 2007. On February 22, 2008 the band played their first show since Kinsella’s departure at Chicago’s Subterranean. The third full-length Goin’ to the Bone Church was released on April 29, 2008.

After the release of Cap’n Jazz’s debut album, which was their only one, Burritos, Inspiration Point, Fork Balloon Sports, Cards In The Spokes, Automatic Biographies, Kites, Kung Fu Trophies Banana Peels we’ve Slipped on as well as Egg Shells we’ve Toed over (also called Shmap’n Shmazz) and their final show on July 14, 1995. they broke up, and their member Davey von Bohlen left Chicago to concentrate on his other venture The Promise Ring. Three years after the breakup, in 1998, Jade Tree Records put out a double disc compilation, called Analphabetapolothology, which included all the songs from Shmap’n Shmazz, as well as songs from various 7″, singles, demos and outtakes. Victor Villareal went home, and after a year of playing music independently, Tim, Mike, and Sam recruited Erik Bocek and Jeremy Boyle for what would eventually be called Joan of Arc. On January 22, 2010, Cap’n Jazz played their first reunion show since the split in 1995 at the Empty Bottle in their hometown of Chicago. They have since released details of their shows at The Bottom Lounge for July 17 and 18th of 2010.
