The JK got together xmas 06 and wrote a load of songs then debuted in March 07 at The Fighting Cocks in Kingston, supporting The Moths. We wrote a second batch of songs that were harder and more aggressive then spent the rest of the year gigging. Our first demo was done in Jan 07 and had 3 tracks - Me Against, Exit and 97/98. We did some recording in our rehearsal studio and came up with another demo which we sent out to get some reviews, this had N/a, Knives, Me Against, and a (hidden track) live version of Breaksthehorse. Various combinations of these two recordings were made available at gigs. We demoed some newer songs (Rabbitfoot and Gas Oven) before re-working them slightly and recording them with an engineer called Oscar who runs Otter Records. Out of this we took Rabbitfoot and added it to a new version of Knives, a live version of Flight Risk and a short blast called Nostalgia which became our (sort of) Debut EP - known to us as The Stovepipe EP.
We played with some great bands, our favourites being; Cinemechanica (from Georgia in the US), Bear Claw (from Chicago in the US), One Unique Signal (UK), Shield Your Eyes (UK), 50foot Panda (UK) and the belly dancers in Reading.
We were a three piece with bass/guitar vocals/drums but then changed to guitar/guitar vocal/drums, losing the bass and hitting the top end.
The various songs here are a mish-mash of live/studio and noise we were working on at the time of our split. The JK was the most fun we had but we finally went our seperate ways cos Ben's (Lord Bulberon) moving to Australia, (mr) Anthonys doing films and Nick is now doing Fulang Chang and i.
