About Me



Jaberwok have been playing together in different forms for years. In 2003, we decided to pool our resources towards the creation of a full-on live/electronic band. Rooted firmly in dirty deep funk, the music exhibits a wide range of influences, from the epic progressions of Pink Floyd, to the spun-out electronica of Shpongle/Younger Brother, to the guitar heroics of Hendrix. We're also heavily influenced by electronic dance music - hence our mission: to bring live music back into clubs. We've recently been given a country house for a year in which we've built a private studio to record our awaited first album and take us to the next level!
