JACKIE-O MOTHERFUCKER 2008
formed
in 1994, jomf have influenced countless contemporarysound-makers and
musicians with both their freeform, moderninterpretations of
traditional folk, and their cut and paste,collective style of band
membership. spiritually aligned with thefree-music
experiments of
the late 60's and early 70's, as well as the lonesomefolk and blues
produced in the roadhouses and juke-joints of early
1900's america.
jomf have fused together the traditional song form andthe improvising
ensemble, into a powerful and engaging live band,
and 2008 finds the group finally honing in on the sound they have been searching for.
the
current line-up features honey owens, who has been cultivating herown
music as VALET, recording for kranky records in chicago, andplaying
live all over america with her own music, and with atlas sound.honey
has been an important part of jomf in the past, palying guitarand
singing in early formations of jomf (flat fixed, fig. 5) and
alsocontributing both as a vocalist and a producer on FLAGS OF THE
SACREDHARP. as a part of the current touring line up, this is a
rareopportunity to experience, as honey will no doubt be concentrating
onher own projects in the coming years.
nick bindeman, jomf
guitarist, has also been continually refining hisown sound and style,
with his band ETERNAL TAPESTRY, they have a brandnew crd out now on the
jomf imprint U-SOUND, titled SUN ARISE and havereceived the thumbs-up

earlier this year, when jomf performeddates in japan, performing with
