September 2004 - Present.Julian Donkey-Boy are a 3 piece lo-fi indie-pop guitar group from North Manchester.
After releasing a string of lo-fi EPs (all excellent) on CDR, their debut single “It All Means Nothing To Me†(Kum Ba Yah Records) is JD-B's first venture into a 'proper' studio with an inherent capitalist agenda. However, so true are the songs of JDB that any trace of the free market is rendered inaudible amidst the swirling infinity of 100% solid gold hits. (KBY's words)Often compared to a mix of things such as Hefner, Pavement, Daniel Johnston and Elliot Smith, other people have probably put it best:"At some point during your life you'll have known a donkey boy - the Napoleon Dynamite kid sat at the front of physics in school. But our Jools is different. All that scribbling of what we thought were simply equations, were actually calculations to create the most endearing bedroom guitar music any boy in Woody Allen specs could ever dream of."THE FLY "Brilliant, lo-fi singer-songwriter Julian Donkey-Boy takes his favourite parts of Daniel Johnston, Pavement, Lou Reed and Weezer, to make some of the most heartbreakingly honest music around."DROWNED in SOUND "There's a wonderful sense of self-deprecation to Julian Donkey-Boy, from the name to the shoe-shuffle rhythms. With the heart of a wandering cowboy and the soul of a badly drawn boy, the gentle confidence that breathes through the songs and the delightfully painted lyrics chase into dreams and reinforce the bittersweet nature of life."BBC MANCHESTER"Sincere, precocious and moving, this is essential.
