Biography

Blue Jupiter is a vocal band from New York City. Three of the members attended Berklee College of Music. The group first surfaced when it won Oreo's "Milk's Favorite Jingle Contest" hosted by Randy Jackson from American Idol. It later performed at VH1's Save The Music Event and at Breaking the Cycle (an annual AIDS fundraiser), and toured Hong Kong. It also appeared in the Harmony Sweepstakes in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York City. Blue Jupiter has toured in Asia, from China to Japan.

Musical style

Blue Jupiter covers and produces renditions of popular songs without instruments. The group's first album was Ear Candy.

gollark: The issue is that Warp has quite a neat combinator-based HTTP handling mechanism like you might use in, say, Haskell, and this generates horrible type errors if you do things wrong.
gollark: `.and_then` instead of `.map`.
gollark: On the plus side, the fix is actually quite easy.
