Surely some mistake ... for the second week in a row Later With Jools Holland comes up trumps, this time with The Jim Jones Revue. To put it politely, the band is made up of older musicians and a little bit of research found that the Jim Jones in question fronted Thee Hypnotics, the almost-there-but-not-quite psychedelic/garage rockers from the 1990s.
Well summed up by a Guardian review from 2008 ("the Jim Jones Revue imagine that rock'n'roll didn't really need to evolve after 1956; it just needed to get much, much louder, and wildly more distorted") their brief performance on Tuesday night's shorter warm-up show, with appropriately long-slung guitars, was enough to ensure I'll be tuning in again on Friday to see what else they have on offer.
