Doors 7.30
SOLD OUT

With their multi-platinum, EMI-sponsored, early '90s days behind them pioneering digital rockers Jesus Jones are free to do whatever they want, whenever they want.

It’s the same gravity-free attitude that infuses every bit of tracks like “Culture Vulture”, a fuzz bass-led assault on the vacuity of contemporary famous-for-being-famous culture.

It’s been a long journey from Jesus Jones first single, the 1989 cult classic “Info Freako” and since then pretty much everything that could be said of the band, good and bad, has been said. Even so, the bands impact has been great enough that they’re still written about in broadsheets today, 10 years since their last Top 40 hit.

From the sonic boundary breaking of the debut album 'Liquidiser' (1989), the 2 million selling, pop star era 'Doubt' (1991), the artistic high point of 'Perverse' (1993), the doomed but wonderful 'Already' (1997) to the reborn, independent 'London' (2001), it’s a journey that’s seen peaks and troughs but has brought the band to a place where they’re free of the whims of the press and the restraints of fashion but still able to play over 70 shows and festivals on three continents to over 75,000 people in the last couple of years.

Despite the passing of years Jesus Jones is essentially the same band as the bunch of young hopefuls playing London pubs in 1988. Singer, guitarist and songwriter Mike Edwards, XFM DJ Iain Baker, guitarist Jerry de Borg and bass player Alan Doughty were joined by new boy Tony Arthy on drums in 2001.

Join us for what will be sure to be a packed, expectant room and a very memorable evening.
