Now that February is over, and the Valentine’s Day flowers my roommates got are long dead (in the trash or pressed in some stupid book idk what they do with their lives), it’s time to move on and get your spring fever rising with the new Humpday Hunxxx! This time around, we’re gonna get ya shamrock shakin for the seductive singer of Krill, Jonah Furman.
**Disclaimer** Krill is one of my favorite Boston bands so this might be biased but like, dgaf.
I first saw Krill play at Great Scott last fall and I was like “They are the KRILLIN IT!” (jk I never said that.) But they really do put on a great show. There’s something about Jonah’s piercing (yet sexy) vocal strain that complements Aaron’s heavy guitar riffs and Luke’s intense drumming so well. Be sure to check out their new album coming out this month and catch them at TT’s on the 28th. In the meantime, listen to their first album, Alam No Hris (especially “Piranha Girl” because that’s my favorite).
And please follow them on Twitter because they’re really quite profound.
ALSO fun fact Krill live in a mansion because of some random Craigslist listing they found from a former Red Sox player who’s renting out his place until he comes back from Japan. …oh must be nice.
Top Reasons Why You Should Luv Jonah:
Smart=Sexy
Jonah is basically a genius. After graduating from Johns Hopkins with a degree in Philosophy, he came up to Boston to live with his bandmates and work on music. When he’s not doing music, he helps authors write books, like a biography of David Foster Wallace–he spent two years in archives researching and reading DFW. (I know something else he can study that’s a bit more hands on if ya kno whadda mean)
Modesty is an Admirable Quality.
Jonah claims he doesn’t do well with the ladies and that he likes “nice girls who will put up with my shyness.” D’aww. (I would tho.) Tbh, I find that hard to believe. After all, his first date ever was in 5th grade when he went to McDonalds and saw Spy Kids with a girl and her parents. ~~ heyooo talk about a BIG MAC.
Pass Me Over A Piece O’ Dat Hunk
Hailing from Evanston, Illinois, Jonah grew up in an Orthodox Jewish family so you KNOW he’ll make a great husband.
Deep, Dark, and Mysterious
On a typical day, Jonah goes to work in the Harvard library to conduct research. I like to picture him down in those archives researching contemporary ethics (or whatever) and dreaming of me pondering the meaning of life. Jk he’s probably just tweeting about diarrhea.

Now let’s see how he did on the Hunxxx Quiz:
Grade: Some answers got a little too real but all in all Jonah gets an A+ because he’s sexy yet attainable.
Jonah asked if he could give a few shout outs:
- Ababadad for being bros
- Cowboy Band because they’re the best
- Speedy Ortiz/Pile/Fat History Month because they’re “The Holy Trinity”
So what do you think? Do you want to find out if this Krill singer actually has a big shrimp?!? Or do you think he’s just another oxymoron??
