JetKing are a Bristol-based band who play a blend of guitar-based indie mixed with
electronica.
<br><br>
The band has a big and very diverse melting pot of influences and this goes some
way to explain why they are so different. Grooving bass, quirky guitars, analogue
electronica, BIG drums and strong vocals complete the sound.
<br><br>
Originally a studio project only, the band launched itself into the live circuit in summer
2007 to almost instant acclaim nationally, playing venues across the country including
Liverpool Barfly, Plymouth Voodoo Lounge, Clapham Grand, Exeter Phoenix, Bristol Thekla and the famous Dublin Castle in Camden to name but a few.
<br><br>
With two festival appearances in summer 2008, an endorsement deal with instrument manufacturer ROBERTS GUITARS (www.rjsguitars.co.uk), the release of "In the Land of Monkeys" on iTunes and a compilation from Matchbox Recordings, numerous tracks airplayed on radio stations all over the world and on Sky TV's Soccer AM programme and an album on the way, things are looking good for the band.

JetKing: a new breed of crimefighter.
<br><br>
A new world order reigns supreme. Its agenda? Musical mediocrity. Incensed by
this injustice, eccentric sonic scientist Vaughn Atkinson decided that enough was
enough. Something needed to be done. And fast. Well, soon, anyway.
<br><br>
Joining forces with Nick CHurch, Mark Griffin and Andy Thompson they came together to wrong the rights of an
apathetic society where music had been reduced to little more than vanity.
With their combined superpowers, they swore to never give up the fight for truth,
justice, fat beats, a nice bit of analogue synth, and above all else, a decent cup of tea.
<br><br>
<br><br>
The band have adopted a dark, comic-book / Manga visual feel to their artwork. This is in homage to the Manga character
JetKing (Jetto Kingu) who debuted in Japan in a comicbook in the 1950s.
