Jesus Jones

Jesus Jones formed back in 1988 in London, born out of the struggles of everyday bands and their battles to find their own voice. Edwards was frustrated with a lack of progress, and stung by a music business that seemed to have passed them by. That was until he came across an as-yet unproven new technology: sampling. A cheap guitar pedal could be tweaked to grab sounds and replay them, twisting them into new forms. That lightbulb moment led to their debut single “Info Freako,” a rapid-fire burst of anarchic sonic attack, with breakbeats and funky b-lines josting for attention over walls of brutal guitar and yelped vocals. It quickly set a blueprint and, armed with a proper-brand-new sampler, their debut album LIQUIDIZER soon followed.

They’ve played all around the globe and massively increased their visibility at UK Festivals and venues. All of this culminated in a 35th anniversary world tour in 2023-24. The band played more gigs than at
any point since 1993: they visited the UK, Japan, Australia and the USA (playing a proper tour, as well as other festival appearances). 

Among these shows, the band also found time to play a run of wildly successful gigs with their 90s contemporaries EMF. The shows in 2024 were so well received the tour happened for a second time, in October 2025.
