about
The band known as Jedi Jane, and sometimes as Jedi Jane Cocaine Collision, are no more. Leaving behind one cracking studio demo and numerous poorly-rewarded gigs in Belfast, the Jedis ceased trading in 2007. Their sound is immediately thrilling: part Part Chimp, part Kyuss, part Talking Heads, part Chemikal Underground, part Lightning Bolt, part heavy-end White Stripes. However, unlike most multi-genre cult-favourite bands (e.g. The Cooper Temple Clause), the sound is less a smartly chosen mixtape, more a finely prepared korai curry of inventive rock and it all holds together rather well. The live show is, to say the least, animated; body movement can be coolly stationary or heavily convulsive, the same songs sound utterly different depending on who, if anyone, decides to sing them, with little to no rest in between them, and abuse is infrequently shouted at the drummer, a system which seems to keep things tight as robot hugs amidst the riffs and screeches. Jedi Jane pioneered the live count-in of "one", to replace the traditional "one two three four".
