JAZICA - SOUTHSEA FEST 2009
mINtSOUTH: Tell me a bit about yourselves.
Chris: “We’re Jazica, we’ve been together about three years. We started off sounding all seasidey but now we’ve started going a bit darker and poppier.”
Frankie: “And dancier, and more fun onstage. Our aim is to finish a show with sweat from head to toe.”
Nick: “And we don’t even care whose sweat it is.”
mINtSOUTH: The Road To V competition – has that helped in any way?
Frankie: “For that we had to cram a set into 15 minutes, so we had to jump around, we had to get to that sweaty point in 15 minutes.”
Nick: “It’s opened a lot of doors actually, hasn’t it? Having the name out there now.”
Chris: “Our drummer was recognised in a cinema the other day. That’s quite exciting. Exciting this fame thing isn’t it?”
Nick: “I want to be recognised in Waitrose in Sheffield. Then I’ll know I’ve made it. That’s the goal.”
mINtSOUTH: Southsea Fest – discuss.
Frankie: “Really looking forward to [playing at Southsea Social Club]. It’s right next to the VIP lounge, so free booze all round. It’s a really cute little venue as well, it’s got a lost of space but it’s quite cosy still. The rest of the festival has been pretty good so far, seen a couple of random bands – the showcase winner (Ribbon) who was interesting, very theatrical. I can’t believe the weather, it’s amazing isn’t it?”
Chris: “To quote the guy we saw onstage earlier on, he said ‘The weather has come out.’ That was quote of the day so far.”
mINtSOUTH: Any bands you’re looking forward to seeing?
Jazica: “Blakfish and Tubelord. Joy Formidable. Thomas Tantrum, James Yuill, Band of Skulls, and Official Secrets Act, who are amazing.”
Frankie: “Fresh Legs I’d like to see, but I have seen them twice in the last week!”
mINtSOUTH: Which band member would you eat first on a desert island?
Chris: “We could eat Kev and still do gigs, because we’ve got an electric drum machine.”
Frankie: “That’s a really a disturbing question!”
Nick: “I’m seriously thinking about which bit I’d eat first, which is really worrying me.”
mINtSOUTH: Gorilla versus bear – who would win in a fight?
Nick: “I thought it said Godzilla versus bear! I thought that was a bit one-sided.”
Chris: “I recently saw a film called ‘Mega Shark versus Giant Octopus’. Not that you’ve asked me that question, but I’m going to tell you anyway. Really bad special effects, brilliant acting. A shark bites a plane from mid-flight. It’s definitely worth a watch… A gorilla would win I reckon.”
Nick: “It depends what sort of bear it is. Polar bears are quite tough.”
Chris: “I don’t know where we’re going with this.”
Frankie: “I think you should just say that sharks will win.”
Chris: “The shark was better. The octopus they hardly showed because you have to do more special effects with an octopus.”
Frankie: “Anyway…”
mINtSOUTH: How did you choose the name of your band?
Frankie: “I went to India and played a gig in a beach bar, and the guys there called me Jessica. They put it on the poster but they spelt it wrong and I kept the stage name.”
Chris: “We need to make up a new story don’t we?”
Frankie: “There was this massive shark, and it tried to bite this plane, and they called it Jaws but that had already been done before so they called it Jaz, and the plane was called Atlantica…”
Chris: “…It had Jaz tattooed on the side of its head, so when it bit the plane, put together it said Jazica.”
Nick: “Music with a bite.”
Shoutbox –
Jazica: “We’re supporting Delphic at the Joiners at the end of October – they’re amazing, a sea of sounds and hypnotic beats that just get you moving. Keep checking our MySpace, we’ve got a lot of new songs that we’re recording at the moment and there are some good ‘uns.”

EP Review - Jazica 'Illusions'
The first few lines were written by Tom Cope, my long-term male companion (six months is a long time, right?) and partner-in-crime in what we jokingly refer to as 'The South Coast's Premier Review Team' (I do words, he does pictures). He was meant to be writing the whole review but put so much effort into the opener he wore himself out and I had to finish the rest.

EP REVIEW - JAZICA 'ILLUSIONS'
The year: 1982. Across a smoky, sweaty bar, an electric guitar and a synthesizer lock eyes...
Fast forward to the present day. The product of that unholy union is Jazica, a confusingly named pop quartet based in Southampton. Jazica display good timing. Not only has their profile been raised with their entry into the Road To V competition, but my copy of the 'Illusions' demo mini-album arrived on my doormat on my birthday. Thanks guys.
There are two sides to the Jazica coin – the soft acoustic thoughts of the singer/songwriter, and the frenetic electro pop charging headlong synth-first into things.
The title track is a surprisingly downbeat electro with Frankie sounding quite angry in places. 'Come, come, come, stay over'. It’s very frothy in the chorus, with wailing synth sirens and unexpectedly raw rock guitar. The band might be labeled as ‘pop’, but that doesn’t mean they’re wet, and this guitar line stamps its feet and demands attention.
I’m a big fan of the delightful rainbow electronics present on 'Arp Attack' with softly sauntering vocals. However I wasn't too big on the Rhys-mix version for a couple of reasons, a) I don't really like remixes. Sorry, and b) there wasn't any major difference to the original. Also 'Keep Up' doesn’t quite hit the same mark. It’s a bit all over the place, with rushed sounds and densely huddled keyboards which sound slightly out of step. 'Flash Flash' has a very Eighties power ballad start and dark overtones countering the colourful hyperactivity.
The gentler sounds include the looped vocals over and over in ‘Boy’, with its soft percussion and childishly naive keyboard hoops. 'Never Never Never' is a sort of personal note, almost like the band aren’t expecting anyone to be listening in to their inner musical thoughts. 'Dreamer' is relaxed summer pop, fluffy clouds held down by the gravitational pull of the deep bass; the sort of tune you listen to while slumped in the garden not doing very much, watching the fluffy clouds overhead.
‘Illusions’ is primarily charming and innocent electro pop, with some raucous anger and a bittersweet slice of melancholy pie. The ‘Illusions’ mini album isn’t an official release, but it can be purchased at gigs. With their entry in The Road To V competition the band is pretty much jumping up and down waving while trying to bring attention to the South Coast music scene, and may they get everyone’s attention doing so.

Review - The Rebs, Jazica, Andy Hunt, Samuel Tingman and Rachel Guyer
I'm quite used to going to gigs by myself, but this was one of those times where everyone seemed to know everyone else, and I felt a teensy bit out of place.

THE REBS, JAZICA, ANDY HUNT, SAMUEL TINGMAN & RACHEL GUYER @ TALKING HEADS, SOUTHAMPTON 09/06/2009
I didn’t break my chair. Honest, I didn’t. At the Talking Heads, the one seat I chose to rest myself on was particularly creaky and if I shifted, it juddered like it was made of Twiglets which had been stapled together.
The chair occasionally distracted me from the music. A Max’s Records night, it was also a bit of a South Coast Road To V meeting, with one previous winner and one current finalist onboard tonight.
The first act onstage were Samuel Tingman and Rachel Guyer. I didn’t catch all of their set owing to a late-running dinner date with Colonel Sanders, which was finger-lickin’ good. When I arrived the guy/guitar and girl/piano team were struggling along painfully. The vocals are earnest but there are too many stop-starts and a slight inability to play in time with each other. Bands are supposed to gel not compete with each onstage, which is what it sounded like.
Next up is Andy Hunt, clothed like he has just breezed in from a US Civil War battlefield stopping off to borrow some hair from the mid-Eighties. Alternative rock is certainly the description. It’s strangely compelling. He’s a true one man troubadour, singing songs about politics, war, armageddon, Creation and the Book of Revelations – yes, there is a very strong religious theme present - in a classic rock/metal style, a bass guitar lying to one side adding some extra clout and notes of doom. Many of the young ‘uns in the crowd aren’t entirely sure how to react to this dramatic force and back away nervously. Lyrically and musically heavy in nature, it may not be to everyone’s taste, but kudos to Andy who is a talented musician and clearly believes strongly and passionately about the messages in his songs.
Hoping to open this year’s V Festival are Jazica, one of the six finalists in the competition. Their set was hit by a few technical difficulties which rendered the vocals completely silent at some points, but the band shrug this off and play on. Singer Frankie tosses handfuls of glittery confetti into the air adding to the party atmosphere of their fun juicy electro pop. Guitarist Chris is blundering about in front of the stage where there would have been a mosh pit had everyone not been hiding at the back of the room, and Frankie’s looping vocals are mesmerising and innocently attractive. The band are sunny with a mix of gentle floaty songs and full-on blastings of sound. They also nervously showcase some newer material, and it’s a thoroughly enjoyable set.
And back to the wonky chair. I was sitting down to deliberately annoy headliners The Rebs. I’m not always out to wind people up, but my feet hurt from standing up all night and the band kept exhorting people to stay on their feet, so I decided to rest mine. They seemed quite cocky so I figured they’d be secretly pleased with this minor act of rebellion. With a traditionally British rock and roll sound dusted in Sixties organ notes, the band are very confident onstage, personalities clustering together and almost bundling each other off. The bassist has some impressive twitchy dance skills. The Rebs opened V Festival last year after winning plenty of votes from the public. Sadly it doesn’t look like they have any equally big gigs so far this year but give them time; give them time.

Interview - Jazica
Not my finest interview really. Think my mind was elsewhere. I do remember turning up very early and wandering up and down Portswood High Street aimlessly, then eating junk food. The band were very sweet and sent me a CD later on. I particularly like their fizzy electro pop bits, like Illusions and Arp Attack.

JAZICA @ TALKING HEADS, SOUTHAMPTON
mINtSOUTH recently caught up with Jazica – aka Frankie (vocals, synth, guitar), Chris (guitar, synth), Nick (bass) and Kev (drums) –in the beer garden of the Talking Heads.
Can you tell me a fact about the person to your left?
Jazica look fleetingly panicked. “No, not that one!” says Chris. “Not that, it’s quite rude!”
Kev: “Why is this becoming difficult?”
Frankie: “You’re thinking too much!”
Nick: “What was the question?!”
Let’s forget that and start with something less likely to end in spilled secrets and tears. How did Jazica start?
Frankie: “I sat next to Chris in Soul Cellar. We just got talking and I was like ‘oh, I want to start a band, I need a lead guitarist’ and he was like ‘Oh, well I need a vocalist.’ And then I rang him up the next day and we made some music.”
The band have been going since late 2006, Chris explains. “Me and Frankie did a load of acoustic things and then Kev came in - he was on my course at uni - and then we got Rob on the bass. Now Nick’s on the bass. Nick filled in for us last summer when Rob was away.”
Kev: “He’s like our summer bassist.”
Chris: “But now he’s back for good, as Gary Barlow would say.”
Are you still studying at the moment or are you working full time?
Kev: “We’re all finished now and sort of deciding what to do jobswise.”
Chris “I’m currently unemployed and very poor. So this is my fulltime job.” mINtSOUTH expresses sorrow at this. “It’s good, I enjoy it. I’m getting fed tonight!”
Frankie: “I do temping and casual work. I don’t know, we’ll soon see. Ask me next week!”
What influences does Jazica have? “Many and varied,” says Kev.
Frankie: “The most influential thing for me is just my surroundings. I think the thing that influences my music the most is people.”
Chris: “We’ve all got kind of different tastes in music. Frankie likes drum and bass and a bit of acoustic, I like a bit of prog rock, and Kev likes a bit of prog rock, and Nick likes…”
Nick: “I like indie and heavy prog rock actually.”
Chris: “We’re a prog rock band…”
Frankie: “…with an electro twist.”
Jazica has made it to the final of the Road To V competition. Two of the six bands left will be given the opportunity to open the V Festival this year if they pick up enough support. How did Jazica get involved?
Frankie: “Just fill in one of those forms on the Internet. A bit like a job application.”
Chris: “I set up a little profile on the website and then forgot about it for a few months, and then I woke up one morning with a guy saying ‘You’re in the semi finals of the Road To V’ and I was like…”
Nick: “He wasn’t in his house, he was ringing him!”
Chris: “He didn’t wake me up, on the side of the bed tapping! So that was how we found out. And we went down to Brighton and did a gig at Coalition as part of the Great Escape, and that was the semi final.”
How did that go?
Kev: “A surreal day...”
Frankie: “It was fun. Really hectic when you’ve got loads of production crew running round. Needed a lot of energy but I think we just about made it.”
Chris: “We had to kind of sell ourselves as well, which was a bit rubbish. We only got a 15 minute set.”
Frankie: “But it went well. It did go so quickly, like as soon as we got onstage we were off again. A lot of adrenaline. I don’t think I’ve ever had so much adrenaline in my body.”
Nick: “The people running it made you really nervous as well because they kept coming up to you going ‘Are you all right? Are you all right?” [panicky voice] “I’m only playing a 15 minute set, leave me alone!”
Kev :“The shoving a camera in our face literally before we walked onstage wasn’t particularly nice either.”
Frankie disagrees with this. “I quite liked it, it kind of hyped me up.”
Chris: “They did loads of filming and then the programmes they’re putting out are five minutes long. And the last thing we were on it was like – there we are!”
Nick: “With someone else’s music over the top. Not that we’re complaining mind, we’re very fortunate to be involved in the competition!”
Do you know much about the other bands involved in it?
Frankie: “Yeah I’ve been getting quite into it, seeing what the competition’s like. It’s all so different, each band’s got its own little thing. If a lot of people watch it and a lot of people judge the bands, it’ll be a fair judge because everything’s so different it’ll be the path where everything’s going. Hopefully that’s our way, which is kind of electro progressive rock apparently!”
Chris: “There’s a couple of good bands in the competition. One of the best ones, Dimbleby and Capper, didn’t get through for some reason. But there was this one band that weren’t all too great but did get through. I won’t say any names. And then there’s another band who was good and did get through.”
Nick: “And us!”
Kev: “There’s no actual final gig, everything’s all on the Internet."
Chris: “We’re doing a nice photoshoot for NME so that should be good.”
Kev: “You can’t see how many votes you’re getting but you can see how many fans are registered to you, so you can kind of get an idea how you’re doing.”
Have you ever been to V before just to watch?
Frankie has: “I went ages and ages ago, it had an amazing line up – Placebo, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters.”
Chris: “I’ve been most years for the last six or seven years. It’s always good.”
A random man walking past in need of a light asks if anyone in the band smokes. The answer is a resounding no. “What sort of rock and roll band are you?” the man jokes. “That’s Grant from Toupe,” explains Nick. Kev nods: “Very funny man.”
What other plans have Jazica got for this year? “We just started a little stint recording, so probably try and get some songs written and recorded, keep things moving, keep gigging,” says Frankie. “To get a single out would be brilliant.”
Chris: “We’re hoping to get some kind of management deal out of Road To V. Any little things, just to get our foot in the door.”
Nick: “I think we’d all quite like to do a tour but they’re so hard to organise.”
Kev: “It would be nice to have an agent that could go out and do it.”
Frankie: “When we all get jobs and money then things will get easier.”
Back to the band fact question, and this time Jazica are ready.
Frankie: “Kev has always got a beard.”
Kev sounds puzzled. “Apart from the times when I don’t. I didn’t have one at all for Brighton.”
Frankie: “For one day! Chris wears tiny, tiny t shirts.”
Chris: “This is from the H&M kids section.” It reads ‘Siberian tigers can eat as much as 45 kilograms of meat in one night, enough to make 400 hamburgers.’
“Education. And t shirts,” nods Chris. Edutainment, is that the plan? You’re having fun but teaching a serious message as well.
“This is what Jazica is all about, I can’t believe you have worked it out!” laughs Frankie.
