Like a phoenix from the ashes, Northwest supergroup JAGUAR LOVE features guitarist Cody Votolato and singer Johnny Whitney from the Blood Brothers, along with J Clark from Pretty Girls Makes Graves (guitarist then, now drummer, multi-instrumentalist and producer).
However, the story is very different. After relocating to Portland from Seattle, these ferociously creative and once-noisy musicians have now added incredibly catchy melody
to their songwriting. Votolato's crazed Japanese electric 12-string guitar parts remain as intricate and Beefheart-esque as ever, but Whitney has turned his scream to Bolan-esque
glam. Result: Pop music. Of a sort.
Having just completed their debut album, JAGUAR LOVE bring you the mother of all tasters. The JAGUAR LOVE EP includes two album tracks "Highways of Gold" and "My Organ Sounds Like…" as well as the non-LP "Videotape Seascape" (on the CD version only).
The debut album Take Me To The Sea* follows on August 19.
JAGUAR LOVE will be playing several European festival and club dates throughout June and July, before returning to the US
for extensive US touring in the late summer and fall.
