Jim Jones Revue

Supercharged back-to-basics fifties rock’n’roll coming across like a collision between Little Richard and the MC5. The Revue played their first show only in January this year but had a sell out crowd. It’s a dirty yet righteous noise that’ll get any crowd to its feet. The nearest comparison would be Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels – a pure rock’n’roll overload with a soulful vibe and a groove that just won’t quit. And they promptly tore the roof off the venue. But even so, they didn’t want to play to a Dirty Water audience until they thought they were good enough. But after another show Jon Spencer saw them and personally requested that they come and support his band Heavy Trash on their recent sold-out UK tour. Of course, they kicked out the jams where ever they went. Since then they’ve support many of the best names in contemporary rock’n’roll, most recently Japanese garage-punks Guitar Wolf. And very soon now they'll be ready to headline at Dirty Water.
