Just one of the many ways to describe the 'hard to define' musical style of Auckland band Jester. Currently on release from Auckland 4 piece Jester is 'Enemy', an immediate, radio-friendly NZ On Air funded single. Produced by Shane Mason at Beaver Music 'Enemy' landmarks a rhythmically stronger, musically fuller direction for original members John Barker (vocals/guitar), Jared Kahi (guitar/vocals) and Mark Grimes (bass) since the addition of Greg Dempster on drums at the end of 2001. Jester have developed a remarkably intuitive melodic sound that has generated NZ On Air Phase 4 support for music and video funding. Exhorting a DIY ethic that showcases the bands' diverse talents and interests, Jester's singles to date have been accompanied by self-produced videos which have played extensively across the networks and Juice TV. Jester have extended their television influence further by providing title music to TV3's successful 'Being Eve' show, (last year with the single 'Fries With That', and this season with the as yet unreleased 'Mike's Guide'). Continuing on the TV theme, singer/songwriter John Barker appears in a feature role in the forthcoming series of 'Mercy Peak', to numerous TVCs. A D.I.Y band at heart, a large portion of Jesters music is recorded in the comfort of their own home studio, including the song 'Fries with That' which was chosen to be the main song for the soundtrack of the T.V show Being Eve. Jester have recently made a second contribution to the shows soundtrack and will be releasing the song and it's video in conjunction with the start of Being Eves second serie From Jester.co.nz but found on www.nzmusic.com 7) Jester, an alternative rock band hailing from Thurles, Co.
