   About Jay Krause
I am always working on new material and striving towards improvement, currently focussing on playing bass with Jake Mattison.

I will also do the music for short films (but will not object to a larger project), and all I would ask is to see me name in the credits and a cup of tea. Here's some I prepared earlier:

Predominantly instrumental music with simalarities to bands such as American Football and Make Believe.

Angular, intense but ultimately anthemic mathy rock.

From London bringing us jerky post hardcore pop complete with rousing manic vocals. Fugazi, Charlottefield etc...

Beautiful epic post rock.

goFASTER>>

Like fellow Liverpudlians Hot Club De Paris...with bouncy, choppy riffs and a very much danceable rhythm, synths swirl like a demented fairground ride while the boys perform fantastic, sing along harmonies. MAKE NOISE AND DANCE

Elks

Jerky post hardcore pop complete with rousing manic vocals. a bit like Fugazi and Charlottefield FOOTBALL

Rotary Ten

Latest signings to Xtra Mile (home of Dartz!)
"'If The Smiths had gone to college in the US this might have been their sound. Complex, melodic guitar entwines with an 'anthemic' chorus. Possible classic.' The Observer

Beat The Radar

"catchy vocal melodies with precise backing vocals on top of angst guitar and clever drums create a package for success" SANDMAN MAGAZINE

Hey! How's the weather over there? I just want to let you know that i'm coming to the UK in late May/early June to play bass with Kevin Montgomery and Tommy Allsup. Tommy played guitar with Buddy Holly, and is THE guy that flipped the coin with Ritchie Valens. I figured that with you being a musician that you could apprecaite a show like this. The closest i think we play to you is in a place called Mitton (sort of near Manchester?). I hope you can come down? The second night is sold out, but the Saturday night has some tickets left. We won't be doing my material, but it is a really special show, and Tommy is a true rock'n'roll legend. Anyway, take care and hope to see you there. DW

Napoleon IIIrd will now be playing this Friday April 4th at Cafe Saki instead of Itch.

Therefore the full line up is now

Napoleon IIIrd

"Napoleon IIIrd is possibly the most visionary solo artist on the planet at this moment in time....the most striking aspect of Napoleon IIIrd’s set is the huge propensity of sound one single man can make. Shut your eyes for a second and you’d expect the stage to be filled by some 12-piece orchestra." Drowned in Sound

with Arms At Last, The Search Map and My Amiga.

FRIDAY 4th April at Cafe Saki

Itch

"Itch are quite breathtakingly, pant-twitchingly awesome. Songs stop, start, fall over themselves, kick themselves up the arse, explode into cataclysmic bursts of energybefore suddenly veering off into seemingly irreconcilable tangents that seamlessyly reconcile themselves within the space of a few minutes"

Arms At Last

"Arms At Last sound like what would happen if Dartz! and Hot Club De Paris had an affair." FuckingDance. blogspot. com

The Search Map

’Glitch ridden intelli pop of the highest order - like TV On The Radio playing Modest Mouse at their tenderest’ - Subba-Cultcha

My Amiga

Plenty of harmonies, hand claps and guitar taps make for another band to add to the list of super fun bands being produced in Liverpool at the moment.

Hi Jay

thanks for your comments - its good to be able to put new stuff on, i've enjoyed listening to your songs - has been a while since I have. They all sound really rootsy - I like the directness of them all - guitar, vocals, some harmonica - interesting lyrics. Kind of reminds me of early Dylan - especially Freewheelin' and another side of - which are prob two of my favourites. How are things? Where are you working now - or living?
