A bubbling swamp curse of unholy rhythm, Jim Jones All Stars is the latest project from garage godfather Jim Jones (Thee Hypnotics, The Jim Jones Revue). Formed during the pandemic, it features The Jim Jones Revue members Gavin Jay and Elliot Mortimer, drummer Chris Ellul from (The Heavy) veteran punk blues guitarist Carlton Mounsher.
The resulting LP ‘Ain’t No Peril’ which dropped on 29th September last year is a thick, greasy slab of ramalama rhythm and blues that highlights some of Jones most inspired songwriting ever and features guest appearances from vocal powerhouse Nikki Hill and Oxbow’s Eugene S. Robinson (The Swamps), and a full horn section (Tenor Saxophonist Stuart Dace and Baritone Saxophonists Tom Hodges and Chuchi Malapersona).
The band announced a 15-date UK tour from 8th October to 10th November, calling in at Birmingham, Leeds, Sunderland, Glasgow, Birkenhead, Manchester, Brighton, London, Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Newport, Norwich, Portsmouth and Ramsgate. The Brighton concert will be taking place at The Prince Albert on Friday 18th October, however, such was the demand that it immediately sold out. Good news is afoot as the band have now added a second date, which is Thursday 17th October. Tickets are now on sale so get your tickets from HERE.
