   About The Jives


The Jives began twice upon a time...., in the dead of night, when Matt, a bassist of no fixed hair-cut, had a dream that a babbling monkey came to his bed and said,"LET THERE BE JIVES!!!!" Matt awoke from his dream and vowed to put together to most musically musical music playing band of musicians ever to play music! "First, I need a drummer." Matt thought. So he went to his local corner shop and bought a Kinder Egg. Inside were the pieces of what was to become Ian, along with some little instructions. Matt ate the egg and set about his task, building Ian. It was an arduos task that took all of eleventy one seconds, but he stuck at it and eventually his creation was complete, righteous and holy in all ways. Now a guitarist was to be found. Matt and Ian stumbled upon Dr Piddles, (as he was then known) wandering through the upper regions of Babylon, searching for what he called The Abominable Sock Monkey. Matt suggested that such a creature was merely a myth and that Dr Piddles was a crap name, so they renamed him Martyn and he hopped on board to play guitar. Now they were three. "Keyboards are what we need and what we need are keyboards!" They proclaimed, so they set off in search of a mythical creature they had heard of called a Phil. They had all heard of The Phil in scary stories their mothers used to tell them. Stories of a man with fingers so long if he scratched his arse he could bite his nails at the same time! As chance would have it Phil was summering just off Montego Bay aboard his yacht The Saucy Sue, with the England cricket team and the African godess of plenty. A phone call was all it took and he agreed to join up. "It would be nice to have two guitarists" said Martyn and the others agreed. So thet set sail to Liverpool, home of The Beatles and The Backstreet Boys in search of a scouse they could proudly display to their mothers. They found one in the shape of Mike, a bushy haired chap with a life threatening ham addiction. They got him through rehab and in two dog years he was ready to play. "This is our band and we shall be called The Jives", and they were and they are.....


LIVE REVIEWS:

'The Jives’ with their entertaining, raucous, raw, musical brilliance. Sounding and looking like something from the 60s, these young lads invigorated the Beatles and inspired the crowd to spring into life with this energetic sound.
(REDSTRIPE AWARDS 09)

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 front man Matt, Complete with the hat, Charms the crowd with broad Yorkshire delivered banter. We are then treated to lots of enjoyable 60's pop, With strong sounds of The Beatles (Which is to be expected) and even The Swinging Blue Jeans. Feel good music with much audience dancing to the tight three part harmonies and melodic beats. 'I Don't Mind' is a particular favourite with the audience and i would'nt argue with their choice. The guys even have the 60's uniforms and haircuts and although The Draytones are curently probably leading the field in this particular genre The Jives are catching up fast and building a good fanbase along the way. They finish suprisingly with a 'Johnny B good' sounding guitar solo and get well deserved cheers from the now heaving crowd.
(SANDMAN MAGAZINE)

The Jives have gloriously uplifting Beach Boys-style harmonies and impressive musical ability

Choonz entered in an Irish Music Battle of the Bands!


Hi,
Choonz have entered an Irish music battle of the Bands competition online...http://www.youtube.com/irishbotb#p/u/4/eE9RchAjBSE

The winners get 5 nights playing at the Monte Carlo Casino in Las Vegas. This would obviously be quite nice. Seriously though, we would really love this opportunity and this would give us the publicity needed to start our career as a touring band.

WE NEED YOUR VOTE!! Please take the time to forward this to some people in your address book. Voting ends in a few days so please don't delay. It only takes a minute to register your vote!


Anyway, enough grovelling from us. TO VOTE for us go to www.slbc.ie/involved/compreg and select Choonz. Cheers!
