The Jurby Mountain Daredevils

Swamp music from the plains of the deep north of the Isle of Man. All the way from Jurby. The home of the cabbage! The only band from the Mountains of Jurby. Occaisionally performing as a nine/ten piece band (inc.Brass), the band members are all from the north of the Island. The name 'Jurby Mountain Daredevils' was chosen to reflect this. It also gives an opportunity for smart alecs to point out that there are in fact no mountains in Jurby.

Judi Chicago

JUDI CHICAGO exists in a parallel universe where beef burgers can rap and alcho-pop whippets puke neon hues over the pavements of the weekend. Since 2006 the wicked duo of multi-instrumentalists Travis Thatcher and British-born ATL transplant Benjamin Coleman have concocted their surreal blend of acid house, futurist disco, the whooping and clattering of art-punk and psychedelic rock and the rhythm and grind of ragga, jungle and UK garage.
