Redjetson
Whilst twenty years ago guitar informed spine-chilling atmospherics and unearthly grandiosity may have once been the sole property of the North West of England, 2003 sees such musical notions of scope and gravitas stretched southwards to deepest Essex in the form of REDJETSON.
Idly compared by some to Slint, Mogwai, Do Make Say Think & Explosions in the Sky, the (admittedly very cool) associations would ignore the warm, beating heart which lies within the six piece band.
The band prove that vast, artistically inclined soundscapes are not intrinsically linked with interminable lengths of guitar meandering or fits of laptop-stroking social inadequacy.
Eschewing the notion of schlepping through the London toilet circuit and playing the Highbury Bull and Rat to disinterested crowds until even they themselves stopped believing, the band set up the 'Do or Die' nights in an attempt to pull together like-(right?)-minded musicians and music fans in salubriousness at The Arts Café in East London.
The band have just completed their latest three track single on their own Steinbeck Records. The CD was produced by John Hannon (Hundred Reasons, Kids Near Water etc) at Mushroom Studios.
REDJETSON are:
Dan Carney - Guitars.
Daniel Hills - Guitars.
Joel Hussey - Drums.
Ian Jarrold - Guitars.
Clive Kentish - Vocals.
Grant Taylor - Bass.
