Bio:

Far-out thrash theatre? Punkadelic-soul? The Mayors are all of these and more. With a live show pitched somewhere between an exorcism and a rave you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll dance yourself giddy but you'll never go home again!

Formed in late 2001 by The Reverend Jimmy Jay Jameson after a Damascus-like conversion on the road to Graceland, The Mayors have been playing live since mid-2002 in various forms. At points featuring anywhere from two to twenty members the band are now a stripped down six piece live with The Rev joined by the finest musicians that blackmail can buy.

In that time they've had some good reviews (and some bad ones, too), radio play and have played everywhere from The Croft in Bristol & The Tivoli in Buckey to The Night And Day Cafe in Manchester and Llangollen Balloon Festival via heaving Barn-Parties, Chester Deaf Centre, support slots with Kasabian, Goldie Looking Chain, Chikinki, I Am Austin, The Paddingtons, Bad Science and a host of dj'ing gigs with the likes of Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3), Four Tet, Kid Carpet, Freedom Of Expression and a live session for Calon FM.
