Patee, Erin and Amanda met working a summer job at a local Edmonton golf course in 2005. Interest in starting a band peaked when Patee and Amanda shared their musical tastes and talents. Amanda had been the bassist in a local band, and Patee had been playing guitar for a number of years and was looking to start something. The two clicked instantly and began writing their own music. The only thing that was missing was a drummer. After jamming with various drummers, the girls began actively looking for a permanent member to complete the band. The position was brought to their friend, Erin, and with minimal prodding and begging, she agreed join. With the lineup finally complete, the ladies went to work carving out their niche in the male dominated industry and coining their style ‘RPM’ – Rock/Punk/Metal.
Always putting the cart before the horse, the trio recorded their first demo; ‘Cast the First Stone’, in 2006, before they had their first gig.
In April 2007, they burst into the Edmonton music scene, playing a slew of live shows.
Early 2008, they recorded a new, tighter EP entitled ‘Remorse is for Suckers’ at Powersound Studios under the guidance of Edmonton’s own Holden Daniels of “My Sister Ocean”.
Itching to add more substance to an already heavy sound, the girls enlisted second guitar player, Kat, to the fold in the summer of 2008.
The addition added new life to the group and more material for another EP ‘Love and Other Gore’ released November 14th 2009.
In the 3 short years Jezibelle has been together they have:
-had a song used for Strategy First video-game Vodcast.
-been featured in Vue Weekly July 2008.
-been interviewed and played on 88.5FM CJSR and 96.7FM CFWE.
-had ‘Remorse is for Suckers’ chart at 4 on CIUT Toronto.
-been featured on 272 Records’ ‘Punk Kills Vol. 6’ and Oddball Productions ‘Our City Screams Vol. 1’.
-played most of the local festivals, including The Works, Nextfest, Inkfest, Sled Island, Band Ranch and Vans Warped Tour.
Fresh off a successful summer, in which they opened for punk rock legends GOB and headlined the Ernie Ball Stage at Vans Warped Tour in Calgary, Jezibelle are ready to take on the world, one city at a time!
You're very welcome, I don't know that you would remember and it's perfectly okay if you don't but at the Edmonton show I was in one of the other Ernie Ball bands, Prom Night In Black And White.
You Ladies did a great job at Band Ranch... We got some good pictures of your set!!! we will send them to you asap. Looking Forward to Aug 21st....Kick some ass at the Van's Warped Tour Ladies
Oh Jezibelles. We had such an excellent time with you lovely ladies this weekend at Band Ranch. Best of Luck in Calgary at Warped Tour. We will probably see you on the 21st at Brixx, but if (for some odd reason) not, I'm certain our paths will cross again soon. Keep on being awesome.
Thank you so much! You guys were totally kick ass. I've seen you a couple times before, at Hooliganz and at Rock For Santa. Hope we'll do a show together sometime!
