MySpacea place for friends

(...) Essentially, John et Jehn is all about dialogue: a conversation, per say. Not one in particular, more an ongoing means of communication between two people; a necessary catharsis involving words, verse and, more importantly, music...(...)

..As John recalls, "When we first got together as a 'couple' we were both in bands, and we each thought that the other's bands were totally shit (laughs). The thing is, I wasn't even a proper guitar player! I only began playing it when we started up together, and the same with Jehn when she first picked up the bass." (...)

..An ongoing process of writing, recording, scrutinising, re-writing, re-recording and then a little more scrutiny - just for good measure, resulted in the birth of their first musical offering, the 'L'amour Ne Nous Dechirera Pas (Love Will Not Tear Us Apart)' 5-track EP, in the summer of 2005.

..As much an ode to themselves, past experiences and hopes and fears as it was to do with the Ian Curtis-inspired wordplay, the debut would go on to help develop each individual as a creator of forms, together and as one. Art reflected life - reflecting art, and so on.

..Twelve months later, the confines of leafy suburban North London were considered by both to be their new home, and have since been as such. Studio functional, creative flow in check and new friends to aid with advice, support and, dare it be said, love, when needed. Life is good. Well, sometimes.

.."I don't necessarily see what we do as John & Jehn as a rock 'n' roll thing at all," he says. "It's more about us choosing the way in which we want to deal with life, every day life and expressing ourselves in some sort of form. The big reason is for us to live, to do something and to grow. We simply like to make our lives a little bit more interesting."

.."Yeah, it's for us to get better in what we do," she agrees. "It's very much a channel, a direction...a faith in something that we believe in." (...)

..But what it all boils down to, essentially, is that ongoing conversation of theirs and so long as they keep talking, who knows where the hell it'll lead.

..Meanwhile, Jehn concludes, directing her thoughts back at John: "It's funny as I just remembered tonight that I learned all about song-writing from you, all that time ago."Really?" He looks puzzled. "Actually, I thought it was you who taught me..."

John & Jehn are now recording new songs in France and will be back in London in September.
