Jesters' Dead Photos

Jesters'Dead formed in 1994. Funk rock was the aim with subtle UFO influences to the lyrical content. Members included Chris Canini on drums, Ben Simale on base, Paul Lambros ( in make up ) on guitar and myself on vocals and guitar. Eventually Paul left the band due to lack of commitment and Jesters' Dead ultimately became a three piece. Gigging around Adelaide our most frequent venue was the Tivoli where we made 2nd in the battle of the bands. Being dubbed too theatrical we persisted till a fall out in 1997. Most popular song amongst fans was titled "Spiel" due to its up beats and funk influence.

The cover design mimics my experience as a kid. In a dream there was a mass sighting at the local oval which was around the corner from where I lived. While everyone was mesmorised by this 3km wide UFO, I ran back home to get my torch?? My room was dark but I knew it was in my bottom sock drawer....grabbed it then switched it on.......I was 8yrs old. This EP never got finished. Track 1 has no bass line, bass is out of tune in track two, Bass slips in track 4 ... needless to say the bass player left this project. With all inperfections in mind ,.... even my off bung notes, I hope you enjoy !
