JESUS JONES - Info Freako

[Biigfish559]

Ace track, just wish PWEI had done it...

[carolineburns]

Still got their Big In Alaska vhs...pure comedy with the influential hair cut interview and the cute drummer droning on about the boomar (sp)...all about the hyper keyboard player, used to pause it on him during the real real real video... Ace!!! X

[carolineburns]

Underated band... Influenced the chems for sure :)

[steffclarke1]

They were sponsored by Stussy so all the gear was free

[1968modern]

Saw them support the Shamen @ the Escape Brighton, blew them away! Great memories- time flies!

[timsea]

Fuck. When did I get so old!

[middlestand]

Partly very rough.It is one of the good points of the song.

[Photonzos]

wikileaks :D

[fozzboy52]

Yes great stuff, i have Als Fender Bass as seen here, and he has signed it.....Jesus Jones Official Bass haha , he said it was used in 1989/1990 and he used it on Liquidizer

[PossumTucker]

@JacquesZupp FUCK YES!!! I remember.

[daffodil97]

for chris richards

[coltsuperocean10]

....a brilliant breathe of fresh air for the time!!

[secretsooty2]

Purple ohms and micro dots : )

[solarbreeze11]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, THIS SONG!

Mike looks soo young and sexy.............

[Berger090640]

Liquidizer tour '89 - great gigs - Cut & Dried was their best song

[Berger090640]

Liquidizer tour '89 - great gigs - Cut & Dried was their best song

[wendybrownkatz]

I have such fond memories of this band. I saw them several times, the first being in support of The Wonder Stuff in 1989.... Mike Edwards sold me a T-Shirt at that gig (but it was a Stuffies shirt i bought - oops)

[Slazfreska]

huhu i forgot about these guys lol....just thinking how similar they sound to PWEI Pop Will Eat Itself it never crossed my mind back then....damn i must be getting old...wonder what these guys are doing now hmmm?

[boybandmassacre2]

fantastic single..the rest of their stuff was shite..mike hadnt a note in his head but onthis one it didn't matter as its so badass

[TheGraveyardScene]

@boybandmassacre2 Yeah mate, I totally agree.

[martmako]

@JacquesZupp too right m8 purple oms and zippy pinheads, wicked times, Jah Bless

[lueeseCreamcheese]

God I had quite good taste in music for a twelve yr old! Weird...been asked in my rehab by inmate/peer whether I'm a punk or a goth! It's sooo much more complicated than that innit?

[genuinemuse]

1989?!!!? Ii remember they were interviewed on radio 1 when this was out and they were a new band, they ran a competition for people to send samples in for a chance to win a place for it in one of their songs. Happy days

[dazmalski]

Still loving this shizzle. Always wondered about the French radio piece at the beginning. Qu'est il dit?

[WeMustBeStopped]

I cannot find Caricature or Damn Good At This anywhere...anyone know where to look? Isn't SBK records defunct?

[hobohorrorshow]

Do you reckon they're wearing enough Stussy?!

[real80smusic]

haha sean stussy is from l.a.

all these english bands were trying to be L.A.

[silverglobe]

best track by JJ i think :)

[nedders73]

anyone wanna post info sicko?? better version imho.... still this is 6 stars and then some... takes me back to being a spotty 16 r old.

[ARKOIA]

awesome track, set your volume to 11 and enjoy! the doubt album is still one of the best albums of all time IMHO

[TheBundyboy66]

Classic track...

[VALZONE03]

Jesus Jones is my favorite band and I still enjoy their music ...........you can listen to Iain Baker the keyboardest on NME radio

[JagerMarty]

absolute beast of a tune! such a classic! saw thme play Melb AUS early 90's!

[dangermouse333]

Superb.

[hattygirl]

When/where are they touring next does anyone know?

[Aphroditeart1]

I always preferred them here compared to the later, more commercial material.

[brando6358]

Man what a song! A dude called Chris Nichols introduced me to J.J. when we were at Crewe & Alsage college back in 89 - 91, Info Freako was an anthem back then.

Wonder what ever became of Chris???

[lesterlives]

Still an amazing song - shame nothing else they produced matched it.

[TheGend]

These guys, for me, kicked off the 1990s. I hope they get remembered. They should. Theirs' was a classic album.

[hattygirl]

This takes me back to skateboarding days - I agree this was a classic.

[victorgeorge71]

cool -that's all i'm gonna say

[skawashers]

Good God Now i feel OLD this was out 20 years ago when i was 20 years of age. Oh Bloody eck, Still got it on 7" 12" and remixes. and god knows how much other Jesus Jones stuff , All the box set singles , poster 12"s I even hada food records T shirt from the ULU concert

[MrDoppolina]

I know what you mean, i bought this when it came out. My mate has everythings they have ever done, even ltd editions.

[elAntxoa1]

Hahahaha

I agree man... Like Daniel Ash said:

"Haunted when the minutes drag"

[WhenLifeGivesULimes]

You shouldn't feel old. You should feel proud for having good taste in music back then.

I feel YOUNG.  I'm only 17. The fanbase surrounding many of my favorite bands is all about 10-20 years older than me.

I'm the weird one in my high school lol.

[TheGend]

There is no end to what I want to know. Man, this brings back memories, when we were on the cusp of knowing everything. What the fuck happened, eh?

[ARKOIA]

@TheGend what a great comment :-) back in the good old days great bands like this emerged by working hard to create something that was fresh, new and imaginative. Sadly the record companies thought that they knew everything and sacrificed diversity and talent for todays plasticised freakshow of pop idol and X factor. The result created a lacklustre and unimaginative fan base of lambrini swigging territorial sheep too lazy to go out and discover music for themselves.

[washoutbeach2]

Amazing music and sounds, brilliant lyrics too.

[tigerboy1966]

Prophetic, to say the least, should be the theme for wikipedia

[jwaa1982]

long live the stourbridge posse late 80's early 90's in the swan .miter an not forgetting jb's for afters you no who you are !

[xjboy550]

and ally kats hehe good nights!!

[DKXrate]

they toured with Neds atmoic dustbin for awhile..

[villasotc82]

their best tune by far.

gret memories :)

[villasotc82]

whoops meant GREAT

[SomeTypicalWhore]

Gret memories are pretty good too though :)

Are you a Villa fan? Recovered from the Stoke result yet? I'm still reeling.

[villasotc82]

hi

aye your right cant beat gret memories,

i have tried to block out the stoke result,

i have just got back from the game today - we need to sign a striker by tomorrow.

regards

[ianmcc2000]

this tune needs a remix or remaster it never cranked enuff for my liking, the chorus really need to hit you HARD.

[timswfc]

Try info Psycho

[paully1969]

seems so tame now... Have to play this again, This was my cutting edge tune for a while. Paully x

[Llisak03]

Has always been a fan of Jesus, but they never got the credit they deserved!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully now ppl will c more of em, GO THE JONES

[steffclarke1]

Saw them in Glasgow in 1998 supporting the Wonder Stuff after Neds Atomic Dustbin, awesome, I can't thank Snub TV enough!

[steffclarke1]

Clearly I meant 1988!

[jackjude]

1989?

[leurbost80]

jesus jones, the wonder stuff AND neds atomic dustbin!?! you have no idea how fucking JAMMY you are!!! the beautifull summer of 1991 all over again!

[theswitch6]

Totally bored with 80s music, then this was released. A great combination of punk energy, dance rhythms, samples and sort of psychedelic melody lines. Thank you Jesus.

[briczar22]

best jesus song.

[simcitizen18]

as a fan of the jones gotta say this the creme de la creme as a song and vidders

[steshea]

I saw them in 1991 at manchester academy and got a top nosh when this was playing followed by a reet good f*ck

[chisp72]

i was watching a mountain bike vid that used this track as its background audio and it brought back amazing memories! jesus jones were one of my first gigs and blew me away. so much energy. cheers!

[MikeeTeevee]

Come on, that's a story to be told. Enlighten us be-stolened one.

[johnecake]

best jesus jones song ever. love it. great post

[combesian]

haven't heard this in years... my cassette died a long while ago - I'm always amazed how powerful music it - I'm 16 again for 2 min and 55secs - Thanks for posting.

[southwicklion]

god ..i 4got about this track....superb

[velvetrevolution07]

fantastic stuff. Saw them in 91 in London.

[dlp2006]

possibly the best live I ever saw, exeter uni 89?

[liquidsounddestructi]

damn wish i saw them live

[VARTHDADER]

this was and still is my JJ fave track - back in the mosh pit kicking, ,sweating, bouncing, diving just going ape with nothing else on my mind but this euphoric sound

[briczar22]

jesus jones was so great live.. saw them in chicago in the eraly 90's.. great show

[revjimjoelbeam]

I can't find the B-side "Damn Good At This" anywhere (in my opinion, their best and just a tic in my mind above this gem) Anybody know where I could find it?

[clearpigeon]

i have it in the loft, hiding behind knackered cricket bats and baby clothes .

[WeMustBeStopped]

And that helps me...?

[duranasty]

ebay prob and on vinyl most likely,maybe uve thought of that or eil records but be prepared to pay alot.

[mayson5]

C'est La Vie in Blackburn circa '89 anyone?!!! Top stuff.

[denniscrystal]

one of my favorite bands

[ClownPoet]

This is NOT today's indie scene. This track is about 17 years old! If you're unable to relate, then check out the Diesel Park West version (Food Records Christmas Ep) You will love and understand this great song better perhaps, when it is presented in a form which doesnt alienate your sensibilities. Whichever way you get it though, this is still a great song, capturing the essence of the absurd level of competativeness which the post-80's has engendered and the info-mania which it presaged.

[Seabass5000]

InFOoooooooooooo Freakooooooooooooooooooo. love it. still smackes with energy. i wanna bounce off my bedroom walls all over again.

[rancidrancidrancid33]

why is there no energy like this in todays indie scene?. Watching this makes you realise how dull its become.

[trickyflyingdave]

dull ??? postmodern fog took over with its utter lack of revolt... the tame wishy washy generation without the guts for revolution. I remember when this came out and now we've got a video cam for every 14 people in the UK... and you cant even wipe your arse on electronic money. Never too old to dance or riot !

[Andrew077]

Bloody brilliant.

[tippertruck]

This has just taken me back to a-level college. Happy days.

[simegrist]

This track still rocks. Good work, jesus!!

[moreno116]

although their best tracks are still no-shows on youtube

[moreno116]

damn, i liked this band so much back in the day!

[jonesybluebird]

Remember this well - sounds even better now.
