Jones The Cat

Biography

This band will be best enjoyed underemployed in your early twenties, and then underemployed in your late twenties and wondering where the time went.

This band will be best enjoyed with a clock ticking constantly in the back your head, feeling every second as it slips past and knowing that you’ll never get any of them back.
Know that Tristan isn’t angry at you, that’s just what his face looks like when he drums. Know that Cameron and Jack are on a long expedition to see how hard it is possible to hit a guitar. And that Jarrod, like all bass players, is the glue that holds it all together.

This is what it sounds like to take such pride in the craft, but know that no one cares about how the machine works. It’s a testament to what happens when, win or lose, you stay the course. With the anger and the resentment and the bitterness and remorse. To doing everything you can, and never caring if it falls flat.

Welcome to the show. We’re Jones the Cat.

 

Jones The Cat is a 4 piece alt punk group formed in 2013 after the four members met at Newcastle Conservatorium.

Recent winners of the national Unisounds band competition (Australia), Jones The Cat has toured with Harts, Papa vs Pretty, Cute is What We Aim For, Polish Club, Thundamentals, Hockey Dad, Introvert, Columbus, and Eat Your Heart Out.
