Bio
The band have been around for about six years (and originally called The Jakals) playing many venues around London and the South East of England such as The Rock Garden, The Half Moon Putney, Sound Leicester Square and many more pubs and clubs. After supporting Keane, Status Quo and Tony Hadley we were asked to supply the soundtrack to a worldwide viral advertising campaign for Low Carbon World and the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) combating climate change. We used a song that had already been written and was ideal with a few lyrical changes it was used for the video and also released as a single to raise funds for the cause. The song is called Farewell and you can probably still hear it somewhere on the internet, Following the WWF campaign the band put on a Showcase at the Royal Albert Hall in front of invited guests, members of the WWF and the Music Industry. It was a successful day which created a lot of interest. The band were then invited to the USA to tour and played shows in Detroit, Battle Creek ,Indianapolis, Lexington ,Bowling Green, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Memphis and Cincinnati which culminated in Rocklahoma, a 5 day festival in Pryor, Oklahoma celebrating rock bands of the Eighties including Ace Frehley, Extreme, Living Colour, Bret Michaels, Sebastian Bach and Lita Ford. Oklahoma State is renowned for its tornadoes, the band duly played their set and within fifteen minutes of being off stage a mini tornado swept through the whole site, blowing the 2 side stages over and damaging the main stage. The Jakals were the last band to play the south stage, in other words they headlined a stage at Rocklahoma!!! As a result of the tour we started working with grammy nominated producer Freddy Wall and returned to America to work on our first album with the majority of recording being carried out at the Dark Horse Studios, Franklin Tennessee .
