Pumpkin Jacket

About Me


Pumpkin Jacket are a good old fashioned Jazz/Punk/Metal combo hailing from London, England. All the band members were grown in a secret laboratory, some time back in the 70s by Miles Davis. Who during his twisted and deranged experiments (usually on a wednesday afternoon, between late lunch and the Carnegie Hall matinee soundcheck) turned them in to superhuman, X-rated, gonzo musicians. Apart from Tom Jurkiewicz, who is a peripapetic music teacher, piano player, professional spaghetti eater and bronze medalist in hamster wrestling at the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
They battle constantly against their arch enemies, Brian May, Carlos Santana and Pat Metheny who are conspiring to steal their hair and beards, folicle by declining folicle.

Behold our magnificence!
