Description
Subjagger arose from the ashes of a couple of bands knocking around London sometime in late 1991. A three-piece guitar band, they started jamming under the arches of a railway line in East London. Our own energy fuelled us though, as they worked to hone our sound which was somewhere between 60’s power pop and 70’s rock.
This was before Britpop made all these sorts of cultural references fashionable. Their first proper gig in ‘92 was at The Dublin Castle in Camden Town and was rammed. Subjagger supported Pulp and played every Camden pub on the ‘toilet scene’. In ’93 the band signed to Acid Jazz on their new rock imprint Focus and the ‘Flock’ EP was released, produced by Eddie Piller. They played some hip clubs in London like Magick and Smashing. The record was played in the happening Blow Up club in Camden and other mod clubs too and they did a couple of UK tours supporting the likes of Corduroy and Mother Earth.
Perhaps there was life in the band after all? When the end came in ’95 it was unexpected and in the middle of recording that last album. Three became two. Those recordings have now been beautifully mastered and made available through Heavy Soul Records. “At the end of the day, we were Subjagger.
And so were you”.
