Jesus Jones play The Craufurd Arms in Milton Keynes, with Happy Mondays, Feeder and Badly Drawn Boy.
Jesus Jones play The Craufurd Arms on Friday 13 November, with Happy Mondays, Feeder and Badly Drawn Boy on the bill. It's a big night for the venue, bringing together four names from different corners of the indie and dance-rock world on one stage.
If you're coming in fresh, Jesus Jones started in London in 1988, when frontman Paul Weller was getting frustrated with the music business and sampling technology was opening up. Their debut single 'Info Freako' and debut album LIQUIDIZER broke through, followed by 1991's DOUBT, which became a US phenomenon and gave them the crossover hit 'Right Here, Right Now'. In 1993, they put out PERVERSE, an album fashioned almost entirely on a computer — a risky move the press of the time rejected, though it's since grown into a touchstone for the band.
After a difficult period, they freed themselves from their record contract in 1998, and keyboardist Iain Baker took control. They staged a 35th-anniversary world tour in 2018-19 and released the album PASSAGES in 2018, so there's a good stretch of material to pull from, from the early sampling days through to the more recent stuff. With Happy Mondays, Feeder and Badly Drawn Boy joining them, the evening covers a fair bit of ground across the decades.
