We Am Janet

About Me

We Am Janet was originally a solo project of a Brighton based, mopey, bi-polar fool who operated under the moniker of the Fool Miles. He was mildly diverting. Brighton's Source Magazine once described him as, "a one man psychedeloid, sounding like Badly Drawn Boy and John Lennon jamming together whilst on acid."The Fool Miles didn't really know what that meant but thought it sounded ghastly so he stopped, acquired 3 friends, renamed himself Rogar the Pedestrian and, in a specially converted public lavatory, forged a new sound for We Am Janet, which resembles that which is currently assailing your ears.If pressed he will confess that We Am Janet now sound suprisingly good. Imagine a favourite pet licking your face in the morning, whilst outside your window the first spring day of the year is bursting into gleeful life. It doesn't help to describe We Am Janet, but it's fun to imagine.
