Mister Jowe Head is an artist and a musician from the Midlands of England, now living in east London. Moving from his home town of Solihull, he started his Fine Art training in Manchester in 1976. At the same time he was beginning his musical career with various school-friends, a project that came to be known as Swell Maps. This group emerged in the late 1970s, and are now seen as legendary pioneers of what is now referred to as the "Alternative rock" scene; they set up their own record label and mixed punk rock with experimental psychedelic sounds.
Swell Maps released four singles and two albums in a brief but dramatic career that saw them topping the UK independent charts. When they broke up, Jowe joined Television Personalities who he met as label-mates at Rough Trade Records. Ten years with the TVPs saw Jowe touring with them around Europe regularly, and travelling to Japan and the USA.
Jowe continues to make vital, challenging music and has recently played in New York and Germany. He is backed by a new band called The Demi-Monde for an ambitious new album called "Diabolical Liberties", scheduled to be released by Schnitzel Records in 2009. The sound is psychedelic, using electronic and acoustic instruments, with a european folk influence plus indian and moorish elements. The current set includes new original songs written by Jowe, plus tunes by Sun Ra, Joe Meek and the film-maker Ingmar Bergman.

TETINE "Brazilian duo Tetine were a huge inspiration on CSS, who turn up here for a typically boisterous remix. The original is the prime-pick, though, a joyful playground chant of pop Baile Funk." Fact Magazine"Always i"A
"The off-kilter, mutated funk, electro and sound manipulation that comprises this inventive and gravely album is an absolute treat." Joe Shooman, PLAN B, June 2008
THE TEMPERATURES "The Temperatures again prove that they are one of London's most spasmodically captivating outfits with the release of their first LP, Ymir (Heat Retention). The previous 7" aktion has been good (particularly the debut 7" on 4th Harmonic), but this record drags the whole drum/bass/duo concept into a new sludgier realm. They don't so any of the proto-prog calesthetics of Lightning Bolt, but prefer to just roll around in muzz. Which is a fairly admirable alternative, eh?" Thurston Moore
