about
Jonesez is Mark Stewart, formed in 2009 and is from Melbourne, Victoria. A note from Mark, Jonesez isn't really a band, even though it certainly sounds like one. It's best described as a solo project with a little help from some friends... Rhythm and melody. I've always loved writing pop songs, mostly not very good ones. When I was 10 my dad gave me his Rolling Stones vinyl collection because he'd just upgraded to CDs. Lucky me. Most of what I initially write is pop music, but by the time the songs are recorded there's way too much guitar noise on them, which debunks my genre theory. If my songs were a sandwich, they'd be a cheese and ham sandwich. With a side of salad. I started playing music as a teenager. I played trumpet in high school but soon realised it wasn't the best idea, and picked up a guitar. I started studying music at a TAFE in Collingwood, but dropped out in third year when it headed down a Jazz tangent and I couldn't quite relate. I wanted to learn about pop music, I had no interest in complex time signatures and reading other peoples sheet music. A little while later I joined a band with some friends called Horsell Common. We wrote a few EPs and albums and had a heap of fun making the music and playing all around the country. At the moment I stock shelves at a quiet supermarket in Melbourne, mostly in the isle that consists of tea, coffee, biscuits and breakfast cereal. It takes up minimal brain power which leaves me heaps of time to think about songs
