Band Members:
AMEETH THOMAS - (lead vocals) has played in quite a few bands in the past and has a talent for song writing. Like most of the other members in Junkyard Groove, Ameeth's quest for the right band did not quite work out until he found Junkyard Groove. Despite his eccentric behavior on stage, he has a talent for making one listen to what he has to say, which would turn out to be rather entertaining, and would shape JYG's style.
He is open to any genre and fulfills the requirement of any song thrown his way. An extremely enthusiastic personality and has music in his family for years now. A complete treat to watch on stage, the party kinda person with a party kinda job.
SID - (lead guitar) has played in numerous bands through school and college and finally takes pride in playing with JYG. Influenced by funk and blues bands, fits him in just right. Cool calm and collected, his sound is unique and different. Takes a lot of care, to ensure that he gets the best sound out of those pedals. 10 points for JYG!!! Leaves sound engineers confused when he tells them what he needs
Sid, the youngest of the lot, leaves guitarists (much older than him) spell bound. Whether it be razor sharp riffs or cleverly crafted solos, he’s the kinda guy that adds to JYG’s unique sound. A versatile musician he is and can throw you into a wall of sound, letting you know JYG is in !
CRAIG MAXWORTH - (bass), born and brought up in Chennai, played bass for quite a few bands in his early days, many of those days in which he saw a lot of challenges. After his previous band split, he gave up playing bass and resorted to the simpler life. But things were about to change when he met Jerry and Ameeth.
Calm as can be, yet capable of snapping into a fit of violence with that guitar of his. Liquid like bass lines and funk underlined tones bring him down to fitting in just right. A hard worker and a team player make him highly appreciated by the rest of the band.
JEREMIAH JOHN - (drums), a Dubai born Indian, left for India to further his studies and to get back to his roots. Like any other Dubai born Indian who uses this excuse, he attempted drumming for a few bands, trying to find that special something. After about 4 years of living in India and about 4 bands later he realized that Junkyard Groove shared the same passion as he did. He drives this message home with his hard pounding yet soulful work on the skins.
One of a kind around the country and loves to break it down to killer funk beats and once in a while, spits out some gut wrenching thrash beats. There's no stopping this guy when he's on a roll. His skills have been proven by his cupboard full of "Best Drummer†awards.
