| ORIGIN CRAZY JAIN was created in the 90's in a musical kibbutz in Kingston, SW London. They mix the spirit, image, harmony and energy of music's greatest moments with 90's technology and production for the millennium. Their music is a fusion of various cultures expressed in a Western pop idiom, the songs reflecting the different environments the Band have evolved through. JAIN comes from the ancient Sanskrit word meaning "to succeed or overcome", "To achieve a state of refinement through successive lifecycles". The core of CRAZY JAIN are: LINEUP: RALPH BAILEY - GUITAR AND VOCALS GERRY BAILEY - BASS AND VOCALS NICKY HAYDN - PERCUSSION AND VOCALS CHARLIE HOCKIN - DRUMS REPERTOIRE:
50'S TO 90'S |
The Bailey brothers (the principal songwriters) have a very Eastern philosophy reflecting the Malaysian background of their mother and the Jewish/South American origins of their father. This was further diversified by an upbringing in Africa and Europe and provides a rich pool from which to draw. Betty's Italian background adds further colour and style.
ABOUT THE GIGS
CRAZY JAIN also have an extensive repertoire of pop/rock covers, from the 50's through to the 90's. They have performed in all manner of venues, playing originals, covers or a mixture of both; in pubs and clubs, or at private parties, charity functions, Royal Air Force bases, festivals in London, the Home Counties and abroad - all with resounding success.
CRAZY JAIN play a very lively "get the crowd on their feet" type of set placing emphasis on movement, dynamics and entertainment, with an appeal to old and young alike, from 8 to 80 years of age. They have a full management team and a range of merchandise is available.
ABOUT THE SONGS
CRAZY JAIN write about their observation of the world we live in; songs about people and their relationships between themselves and their environment (Everything Change, Bed of Nails, Hunter Killer); personal angst (One by One, Mother Sun, Too Late) and the different shades of love (Killing You, Will You Be Waiting, Summer Passions).
FUTURE PLANS
Information is passed regularly to an established fan-base by means of a Newsletter. The Band have recorded a demo-cassette of covers and original material. Labels such as RCA and Polydor have previously expressed interest in the CRAZY JAIN catalogue and other important contacts have since been developed. A publishing/recording contract is the main priority. The band tours on a regular basis in both the UK and further afield.
