July 23, 2009, 15 years ago
UK-based experimental metal band JUROJIN have confirmed three live dates. They are as follows:
July
31 - Monto Water Rats - London, UKAugust
27 - The Troubadour - London, UK (acoustic show)September
10 - Nags Head Loft - High Wycombe, UKAs previously reported, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA violinist Anna Phoebe recently contacted BW&BK; with news on Jurojin (featuring a tabla player) after performing with them as a special guest at a few shows. Guitarist Nic Rizzi followed up our request for more information on the band, adding that they hope to have Phoebe record with them in the future. Phoebe has also expressed interest in collaborating with the band.
Rizzi offered BW&BK; the following overview of the band:
"We came together about a year and a half or so ago, with the idea to bring together musicians from completely different backgrounds both personal and musical and see what happens. It certainly took a bit of work to convince everyone to play metal as the root of our music, since aside from myself, no one particularly grew up on it or ever listened to it. However, we somehow made it work and all of us are 100% behind what we now play. We started gigging a year ago, with a couple of test gigs which eventually saw us supporting SEVENDUST on UK dates last December after only two previous gigs under our belts. This gave us a large amount of exposure, both within the UK scene as well as with a few of the bands we met along the way. We ended 2008 on a high and 2009 has been devoted to completing our album and testing the new material live as much as possible."Jurojin's debut album will be released via their own label, Majestic Elder Recordings, in late October. They have been offered worldwide distribution for the album (digital and physical), but the initial worldwide release will be a digital-only bundle. It was mixed and mastered by producer Drew Mazurek, known for his work with LINKIN PARK, NOTHINGFACE and HIM.
More details will be revealed soon.
