- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
What are The Jezabels? We are a thing that came out of a few chance meetings
at Sydney University. You see, Heather and Hayley had been playing music
together for a while. Inevitably came the journey south from Byron - being
their place of youth - to Sydney for a foray into higher education. Nik and
Sam were studying at Sydney University also. And you know, for some reason
you just meet people... We don't have a manifesto as such, but we do have
definite intentions in what we do. We wish to play pop, but with a
recognizable element of social awareness. We wish to be emotional, but with a
sense of certainty that our audiences won't walk away thinking that we take
ourselves too seriously. What is paramount is an attempt to push this thing
called the culture industry in some direction which makes it more human. (I
guess this is all too ambitious but oh well... We do try) Heather studies
piano at the conservatorium and reads a bit too much Russian literature.
Hayley looks toward her personal canon of pop ballads for guidance in all
situations and believes we must return to the way life was prior to the poker
machine epidemic. Nik is a science student whom imbues his drumming with
formulas and mathematical complexities. Sam is a country music-playing,
Marx-spouting communist with a love of all things meaningfully subversive.
I guess our music derives from these things. Please come see us live however
- if you are interested that is - for it is the only way to explain!
Cheers.
