The Jambros are an Indiana based rock duo, weaving melodies and catchy riffs from Litter Box studios. Self-produced, they’re favoring the warm sound of the Wurlitzer electric piano, paired with guitars and drum sounds from “Dr. Rhythm Section”. The Jambros spearheaded the “secret band” and “basement movement” scenes in idyllic Ferdinand, Indiana - a lovely German Catholic village sequestered in the hills of Southern Indiana - a town named after Ferdinand I, Emperor of Austria, a feeble-minded but good monarch who liked to wedge himself in wastebaskets, rolling over and over like a ball.
The Jambros began in 1988 as “Jeremy and the Jambros” and included their friends Jeremy and Steve on trombone and drums, respectively. J.A.T.J. recorded four albums and have enough unreleased songs to make a fifth. This work is not yet publicly released in the digital format.
Jeremy titled the band, originally. In a conversation about the band name (circa 1987) he was asked what to call the group. He replied immediately, and with a solemn tone: “We will be called Jeremy and the Jambros“.
