The Jim Jones Revue will release the album “Here To Save Your Soul”

that is due for release on 2nd November featuring Rock’n’Roll Psychosis,
Big Hunk O Love, Cement Mixer, Good Golly Miss Molly, Princess & The Frog,

Onstage The Jim Jones Revue is an astonishing phenomenon and have been
described as “James Brown fronting the MC5 with Little Richard guesting on
piano”.
The Jim Jones Revue released their debut self titled album just under a
year ago to critical acclaim and so far 2009 has proved to be an
incredible year for this London based powerhouse quintet. Among many
highlights was a sold out show at the historic 100 Club in London in June
which saw scores of unlucky punters turned away as the venue was filled to
bursting point with a queue stretching down Oxford Street to Tottenham
Court Road tube station. The JJR have also played live sessions on radio
shows for Mark Lamarr, Marc Riley, Tom Robinson and have long been
championed by Steve Lamacq who after coming to The 100 Club show was so
moved he made an extraordinary five minute public broadcast on his 6 Music
show the next day to demand that Jack White offer the JJR a support slot
on whatever project he next had touring, this plea has now come to
fruition with Jim Jones Revue invited to support Dead Weather at the Forum
on 30th October.
The Jim Jones Revue are fast building a solid international word of mouth
fan base that stretches across Europe from Oslo to Porto, a result of
relentless touring that in the last twelve months has seen them play
festivals, shows and tours in the UK, France (where thanks to some
prime-time tv spots and major festival appearences they are fast becoming
nationalcelebrities), Spain, Holland, Germany, Sweden,Portugal , Slovenia,
Ireland, Belgium and Norway. Among the JJR fanbase more well known
converts include Mick Jones, Tony James, Bobby Gillespie, Noel Gallagher,
Jim Scalvunos, Jon Spencer, Bob Harris and Gem Archer.
The Jim Jones Revue are dedicated to the tradition and continuation of
fine booty-shaking, mind-shimmering rhythm and blues. It's as if Little
Richard, the Queen of rock 'n roll Herself, shat out these fine boys from
some blessed place and sent them into our world to do good. Get yrself
some healing! Jon Spencer (JSBX / Heavy Trash)
"The Jim Jones Revue are the real deal: a rip-snorting progeny of Raw
Power & Little Richard, they deliver unabashed classic rock n' roll at a
stampeding tempo with whiplash rhythms, blistering riffage and over the
top vein popping vocals that would make King Kong's head explode. Pure
sweaty pleasure." Jim Sclavunos (Bad Seeds/Grinderman)
Witness the sonic brutality of The Jim Jones Revue as special guests of
Dead Weather on 30th October at The Forum, London.
Their mini album Here To Save Your Soul is out on November 2nd…… play at
maximum volume and listen as your home is reduced to rubble in
minutes!!!!
