Jet Jaguar
Space Anthem
Formed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 2001, Jet Jaguar is Charles Van de Kree (guitars, synths, keyboards, vocals), Ron Grissom (bass, synths, vocals), Roland Thoms (drums, brass, sax, flute) and Joey Mach (drums, percussion, sampler). Named after a robot in a Godzilla movie, the group combines the high energy of punk and the heavy riffing of metal with the robotic, technology-laden sound of industrial and the drifting dreamscapes of ambient. Obsessed with visions of science-fiction apocalypse, the group's songs are terminally preoccupied with aeronautics, interstellar exploration, robotics, cloning, androidology, virtual reality, biomolecular mutation and nuclear genocide. For fans of: Hawkwind, Chrome, Pink Floyd, Faust, Can, Amon Duul II, Ash Ra Tempel...
