Last night we played to the glorious people of THE HOW! It was bloody well awesome!
Thanks to Bip and Margot for putting us on, they sure know how to throw a party. See some little videos Bip live streamed from the night HERE........ They're a bit crackly but will do for now! There were loooooads of people taking photos and vids so will post them up when I source them out....
Also hope you guys are all enjoying the FREE limited edition CDs we were giving away, we got rid of tons of them on the night, but if anyone missed out we have a few left so email us at jennersfield@gmail.com PRONTO!
Now we're looking forward to our final gig before christmas, with Club Fandango at the Bull and Gate next Monday 20th December! Go to the facebook event HERE....
AND FINALLY....if my gran was at last nights show she definitely would have been dancing like THIS:
Firstly thanks to everyone that came down to CALL THE LANDLORD at Proud on Tuesday. We had a good turnout, its a wicked venue and I think everyone had a pretty good night (bar the £3.80 bottles!....Ouch) ......I even heard someone was contemplating a bit of pole dancing? Jed can be a bit of an exhibitionist when hes had a bit to drink.......
Some photos and vids will no doubt be materialising soon and will be posted up here as soon as I get hold of them. In the meantime I thought I'd put up the flyer from the night which was only actually made two days before the gig, hence why it didn't go in the last post. Its bloody awesome though!

Yes that is David Cameron, and yes he has a dick as a nose. Cool.
Also this week I did an interview with the lovely Sarah at Models1 and they have featured Jenners Field on the Models1 blog for all the world to see! Have a look for yourself.......
I may at some point repost the whole thing on here, but tbh its 3am and I need sleep!
In a last piece of breaking news we have been confirmed to play Bip Ling's infamous night 'THE HOW' at the Macbeth in Hoxton on the 10th December! Apparently they don't usually have bands on the night so we're pretty psyched for this one. You can check out Bip's blog HERE. Will have more details to follow soon.....
But until then, heres a cat having printer issues........
Soooooooooo haven't posted on here for a little while, but never fear there is much to report!
Firstly I will give you a run through account of our jaunt to Portsmouth last week......
To start with I would like to say that Portsmouth is SOOO WINDY. Oh my god literally I thought my car was going to fly away. And let us just say it didn't do much for my hair either. Bloody Wind. This is kinda how I felt....except less happy
Anyway so once we were inside the venue things began to run a little smoother. The set went great, there was a good crowd and people danced and shizz, generally making everyone feel pretty darn cool. Heres a little snippet of us and some photos:
For afters we went to this 'super cool' club (NOT) called Scandals. Despite the name apparently the only thing scandelous about it was that I couldn't stand fully upright on the dancefloor. Is everyone in this town tiny or something? This is how I felt......but again er....not so happy....or ginger.
So we happily danced the night away, Grant got very very VERY drunk as we can see.....
And we trip tripped off to some party where THIS abomination was taken.......
......and were only forced to leave when someone er......pooed in the sink. Yes ladies and gentlemen, they pooed. in. the. sink. Not only this, when we went to expect said article, there was also a fork inserted into one of the er...... poos. We thought this was hilarious but whoevers sink it was didn't. Hence the party was ruined and we left. Well known disgraced R n B singer Chris Brown was pretty sad about that.
It was at this point that I realised Jed wasn't with us anymore. I hadn't seen him since the midget club, and I didn't see him again that night.....so where had he gone? I would now like to play a brief game entitled "WHERE DID JED STAY?".
Did he stay here....?
Did he stay here.....?
Or maaaaybe he stayed HERE???
At some point I might let you know the answer, and all guesses are welcome!
Soooo next day we wake up.....my head hurts a bit.....I can't exactly remember getting home...I have a condom in my ear....the usual kinda stuff. We were kindly allowed to stay at a friend's cousin's house, and they had generously given us free reign over their kitchen. However being useless, lazy and hungover we set off in Metro the Hero to find the closest, easiest, cheapest food possible. And, like a mirage in a very grey damp desert SNACK WAGON appeared upon the horizon! We absolutely love Snack Wagon, particularly Max.....
We also absolutely adore Tracy who works in Snack Wagon, who definitely has a pretty cool Vajazzle hidden down there somewhere. (I would just like to point out at this stage that we do not know that the lady buttering our butties was called Tracy, or indeed that she has a Vajazzle 'hidden down there', but we'd like to believe that she does, so we're gonna. Oh and if she did it would probably look like this......
EDIT: my original photo of Tracy's Vajazzle has been censored by the evil internet men, so heres a slightly less x rated version.....but its soooooo not as cool
I had possibly the best sausage and egg sandwich of my life (no pun intended), and so three cups of tea and two episodes of 'Brit Cops' later we were back on the road home.
Cheers Portsmouth!
Next i guess I should talk about the gig we have on Tuesday. This is a good'un folks, CALL THE LANDLORD at Proud Galleries and its FREEEEEEEEEE! This is put on by the guys who organised those mega squat thingys and should be proper busy and proper fun. We have no stage time at the moment but will let you know as soon as we get the info!
Also this is just a warning for the future. I have started to consider letting Metro the Hero go. I know you guys are gonna be upset. This is what happened when I told an old man earlier today.....
Oh and a dog......he took it pretty hard....
But, my people, the time may be near.
Just to give you a little nostalgic moment, heres me in Metro earlier this year escaping from an attempted hijacking attempt by a well known countryside terrorist group (they're pretty serious)
And so we have come to the end of todays installment! I hope you enjoyed and I leave you with confirmation that George Bush is an evil man......he eats kittys.....
Laurie -JF-
Oh p.s. follow us on twitter, like us on facebook and all that jazz, otherwise i may be forced to kill this puppy.
Its on your heads guys.....
1.We played a packed out headline show at the Lexington. Thanks to everyone that came, I think you will agree it went like a storm. Will post up some pics as and when they materialise in front of me.
2. Nilo celebrated his 21st birthday! See our twitter feed (twitter.com/jennersfield) for a particularly scary photo of Nilo and Jed at 3am looking like a child catcher and a drunk gypsy respectively.
3. Also we have a blocked shower at the moment, meaning the water stays in the shower tray an unusually long amount of time. Apart from giving us an artificial time limit we have also been experiencing strange patterns appearing on the surface. Heres the best one from this week.....
And heres jed the childcatcher with it......
Cool huh?!
JF play tomorrow night (Friday) at Tommy Flynns in Camden. Its £5 on the door, theres 5 bands (I make that er.....erm....a pound a band?! Or maybe £3 for us and £2 for the rest. Yes yes that sounds more like it). We're on at 9.20pm and anyone wanting to party after can join us at Proud after!
Lastly in an update from an earlier post, here is the new official video for Willow Smith's ultra hit. I luuuuuurve it! I'm also reliably informed she now has whiplash........Poor Willow....
Just a few pics from the secret warm-up show at the Brixton Windmill last night.......
Anyone says ANYTHING about the shirt and I'll do something....er.....erm......really really bad to them...... ya hear?! Oooooor even worse...... I'll wear it again.
Remember gig tonight. Jenners Field headline Paris is Burning at the Lexington. On stage 10pm! Apparently theres cakes and shiz....
Ok so basically I thought I would just tell you that this is definitely my new favourite song.
I. Love. It.
When I listen to this I definitely imagine this dude gettin frisky
And maybe this guy......
But tbh he looks a bit weird. And seriously what is with that hat??
SOOOOOO don't forget we're playing this Saturday at the Lexington
I've just been told that if you go on this link..... www.justgiving.com/oxjamparisburning.....you can donate ANYTHING (over £2!) and get put on the free list! Cool no?
Looking forward to our warm up gig tomorrow night. Wanna know where it is???
So apologies for not posting in a little while, I promise we have been super busy getting ourselves back into tip top shape for the shows coming up......very exciting!......no? Maybe its just me........... Actually no its not just me, look at all these people....
Yes guys......thats the new 2010 Coalition Cabinet. They're pretty fucking psyched about it.
Aaaaaanyway, i thought we'd start a new little blog trend called 'Band Members Through Time' or 'BMTT' for short (yea i did just make that name up on the spot, and yea its a bit lame but I can't really be bothered to work out anything better). So basically the rules are: I post pictures of when members were young and then predict what they're gonna look like when they're older. Hooray! Doesn't this sound awesome? Hmmm......yea i thought so.
And to start us off today we have JED!
Isn't he just too cute?? Uh huh yes this is little Jethro pretending to be Superman. But quite frankly who doesn't want to be Superman? I still want to be Superman......
Next we're moving on a little in JK Sticksman's life. Imagine the year 2006, Frodo Jed is 14 years old, hes out on the town.....eyeing the ladies........
OOHHHH YEAA STUDMUFFIN JED
If he was here now i would ask him WHY? WHY OH WHY OH WHY?
Right anyway, so back to the task in hand. I've got my special super secret NASA 'what-your-gonna-look-like-when-you're-older' machine with me here, and it'll now work its magic (cue some sort of doctor who based theme tune). And hey presto! Heres the verdict........
By age 40 Jethro Kellett of Jenners Field will look like this:
And by 85 he will most probably (tbh guys its pretty accurate) look something like this:
Yup! You got it! By the age of 85 our little Jethro is going to be the most pierced man in the world. Now that. is an achievement.
In other news this week Jenners Field are finally returning to the live circuit! We are headlining Paris is Burning at the Lexington in Angel on Saturday night (9th October). We're really exciting for this, its a great night organised by some old friends of ours and this months event is in aid of Oxfam, which makes it eeeeeeven better.
I'm told there'll be three bands plus Djs and we'll be on at 10pm. Price is £6 on the door or free if you make a donation to Oxfam beforehand....so you get to be charitable AND watch us play! So lucky, no?
Check out the facebook event here and tell us you're attending (cos you obvs are!).
(its not very different really but this way you get to say you're attending TWO events, and therefore make yourself seem more popular!)
Oh and also we'll be doing a very special free track giveaway for anyone who wants to give us a cheeky email address. Yes soooo many things for us all to get jiggy about!
There will be more posts later this week in the run up to the gig, so keep checking back...but in the meantime there is one lesson we can all learn from this; never give me an embarrassing photo of yourself.
So in our first post for the brand new JF blog thought we’d update you on whats been going on lately for us. You may (or may not....) have noticed that we’ve been a little bit quiet of late, but fear not, this will not be the case for much longer! As you will see.......
So what have we been up to?
Firstly we’ve got a brand new management team behind us, which we’re all super excited about. These guys have got bags of experience and are crazy about us so hopefully its gonna lead to great things very soon.
Whilst we were sorting all that business stuff out we’ve also written a whole bunch of brand new songs, meaning we’ve now got our full album’s worth of material ready and rearing to go. On saturday we were in Studio A at Metropolis in Chiswick (which has played host to the Black Eyed Peas, Cheryl Cole and er......Bruce Forsyth!....yea i didnt know he made music either....probs best to keep it that way) laying down the new tracks, including a slow one which is sounding amazing. Hopefully we’ll be able to air these within the next couple of weeks and we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop! Will be posting some pics from the session as soon as I can learn to use technology...
We’re now back on the gigging trail and are booking from September onwards. In the pipeline we’ve already got Proud Galleries and a very special gig on 9th October with our friends PARIS IS BURNING at the Lexington. We’re still looking for more so any offers for slots get in touch! Email vickflo@gmail.com
Check out the video clip for 1980s shot by Ian Noe in our rehearsal studio. This is only a snippet and the full video is still to come! Also River Island used our track “Drunk Drive” to soundtrack the behind the scenes video from the Autumn/Winter shoot fronted by our very own Laurie! Its certainly entertaining so make sure you have a look..........
Theres loads more stuff in store including plans to livestream weekly from our rehearsals straight onto the web! So keep checking back....
We'll keep you posted!
p.s. find our page on Facebook and "like" us.....it makes me feel loved
