The Jives have been honing their craft for seven years and as a result they play their explosive, audience conquering live set as seasoned, professional artists that are totally at home on stage.. .. The Jives play very bouncy, upbeat indie/pop in their climax reaching set because that's what they find wins the audiences over, but they have the luxury of over a hundred songs backlogged, ranging in style from psychedelia, funk, electronica, strong rockers and tuneful ballads - ALL with the emphasis on melody and arrangement that make the lads a real prospect as recording artists given the right opportunity. .. .. To this day, The Jives have played hundreds of UK gigs from Brixton to Dundee to Camden to Mayfair and have supported legendary Indie band stars such as Mani (Stone Roses, Primal Scream), Bez (Happy Mondays), Andy Rourke (The Smiths), Tom Hingley (Inspiral Carpets), Ocean Colour Scene, Dirty Pretty Things, Alabama 3, The Foxes, The Rumble Strips, The Paddingtons, The Crookes and MANY MORE!!!! .. .. The lads signed a five album deal with Total Impact Records two years ago but were forced to leave to label after the label failed to deliver anything that they said they could and were harming the lads career rather than furthering it. They are now searching for new management and a new label. If you think you can help refer to the contact details on this page and please get in touch!!.. .. The lads now have a respectable following of fans thanks to promotional assistance through My Space and involvement in several high profile UK armed robberies. They were also approached by MTV producers to use one of their tracks, to be aired on the reality TV program "Totally Jodie Marsh". The guys, desperate for a bit of exposure, agreed. - Jodie, low on cash, paid them no fees... .. Listen to The Jives and you can hear that their influences are driven by the 60's style of melody, harmony and upbeat rhythms, fused with a real modern day twist and chocolate that tastes like chocolate never tasted before. .. .. .. ..!--REVIEWS SECTION --!.. .. .. .. "Fuckin' cool band! Good, honest songs man.".. ..NOEL GALLAGHER.... .. "Watch out for The Jives!! It's only a matter of time before these guys hit it big!!".. ..STEVE LAMACQ (RADIO 1).. .. .. "Great pop songs!! They'll have a hit or two under their belts this time next year!".. ..TOM ROBINSON (BBC 6 INTRODUCING) .... .. "One of the best bands we've had on!!".. ..CLUB NME (DONCASTER).... .. "The most exciting and promising band in Yorkshire!".. ..IAIN HODGSON (BBC RADIO SHEFFIELD).... .. "The best band that played this weekend!".. ..IN THE CITY (MANCHESTER IN THE CITY FRINGE EVENT/ 3 DAY FESTIVAL).... .. "The Jives walk on stage looking like something out of the 60's and proceed to play the best set of the night. With their super tight beach boy sounding harmonies and considerable musical talent, they manage to get the tough crowd bouncing to their up-beat set.".. ..RED STRIPE MUSIC AWARDS.... .. "The Jives open their set with "I'll be fine", a good Coral influenced opener, to a crowded house with a sprinkling of celebs. They get a very warm welcome and Matt, complete with hat, charms the crowd with broad Yorkshire delivered banter. We are then treated to lots of enjoyable 60's influenced indie/pop with strong sounds of The Beatles and even The Swinging Blue Jeans. Feel good music with much audience dancing to the tight three part harmonies and uplifting beats. "I Don't Mind" is a particular favourite with the audience and I wouldn't disagree. They finish, surprisingly, with a "Johnny B Goode" sounding rocker complete with a manic drum solo and a blistering guitar solo and get well deserved cheers from the now heaving crowd.".. ..SANDMAN MAGAZINE.... .. .. .. ..!--INFLUENCES SECTION --!.. .. .. ..
