The Jim Jones Revue
After selling out The 100 Club last Thursday The Jim Jones Revue return to play an intimate show as part of the inaugural Rock’n’Roll Circus at Inn On The Green in Ladbroke Grove, London on Friday 19 June. This will be The JJR’s last live London show until they tour the UK in October.
The ‘Revue totally rammed The 100 Club on Thursday 4 June with a queue stretching all the way down Oxford Street to Tottenham Court Road tube station. Scores of unlucky punters were turned away as the venue was stretched beyond capacity. The JJR played an electrifying set in tropical conditions to a capacity crowd that included Bobby Gillespie, Beth Orton, Andrew Weatherall (who was also DJing) , Jim Scalvunos from The Bad Seeds, Peter Coyne from The Godfathers and Steve Lamacq. In fact Steve was so moved, he gave a glowing report of The JJR performance the next day on his Six Music radio show and demanded that Jack White offer The JJR a support slot immediately!
The 100 Club show was also the release party for the new Jim Jones Revue single, “Princess & The Frog b/w Freak on Nature” which was released by Punk Rock Blues Records on June 8. Princess & The Frog has attracted wide spread radio support from Radio One, Radio Two, Six music and XFM with spins by Steve Lamacq, Mark Lamarr, Bob Harris, Tom Robinson, Gary Crowley and John Kennedy among many other DJs.
This was a busy few days for The ‘Revue which saw them play dates in Canterbury (attended by the legendary Clash tour manager Johnny Green!), Brighton and then on Monday they played their biggest show so far at the La Musicale festival with Placebo at the historic 2500 capacity L’Olympia in Paris on Monday 8 June. La Musical was organized by France’s leading cable TV station Canal Plus and will be broadcast across France in early July featuring an interview and live performances by The Jim Jones Revue.
The Rock’n’Roll Circus has been put together by Martin Muscatt from Taurus Trakker. Taurus Trakker will also play live and the show will launch their new single, “Monks, Punks & Drunks” which is produced by The Clash’s Mick Jones. Mick also regularly plays live on stage with TT……
This will be The Jim Jones Revue’s last show in London before they tour in October and likely to one of the last opportunities you’ll get to see them in an intimate venue like The Inn On The Green. Witness the sonic brutality of The Jim Jones Revue at The Rock’n’Roll Circus at The Inn On The Green on Friday 19 June.
“Princess & The Frog” b/w “Freak of Nature” by The Jim Jones Revue is released digitally and on CD by Punk Rock Blues Records on 8 June
