Event information

Jesus Jones formed at the end of 1988, and quickly established themselves as one of the most exciting and innovative acts of their time. They were one of the first bands to successfully blend rock and dance music, using samples and beats over catchy, commercial pop songs. Catching the mood of the time perfectly, it wasn't long before they started to enjoy worldwide success, signing to EMI, via the newly founded Food Records - later to be home to Blur.

Their first album, 1989's "Liquidizer" with its singles "Never Enough" and "Info Freako" saw them tour the UK and Europe, wowing critics and fans with a high-energy live show that was to become the band's trademark. Within a year, things really started to happen. When it was first released, at the start of 1991,their second album "Doubt" quickly became a phenomenon. It entered the UK charts at number one, and gave the band their first gold disc. It would also see massive sales around the world, including Canada (where it went platinum), as well as Japan and Australia. However, perhaps the album's greatest success was in the US, where it went platinum, selling well in excess of a million copies. This was driven by the single "Right Here, Right Now", which was a huge MTV hit (it was, at the time, the longest-running video on their playlist, ever), and was on constant rotation at virtually every radio station across the country. The single reached number one, and still remains an anthem to this day.

The album also spawned a number of other huge worldwide hits, including "International Bright Young Thing", and "Who? Where? Why?" and the band were awarded an MTV award for "Best New Artist", as well as being nominated for a Grammy.
