Bio
Owen, Del and Thom collectively indulge in “Fruity Beefheart beats, calypso rhythms and west coast noise flex, caressed with a poetic social panorama”. Formed at Sheffield Institute Of Arts, The Heebie Jeebies imbue a colourful charm and style that embraces modern insecurities with an ‘end of the rainbow’ mentality. Their influences vary from Trad African & tribal Kalimba songs to post punk ‘Industrial’, with melodic nods to boozy Britpop soirees and Welsh Psych; a light hearted approach to narratives of cultural indecency.
A DIY aesthetic and a veritable smorgasbord of ideas permeate everything they do, from art directing their photo shoots, to designing artwork and beyond. They’ll be showing off their origami skills for the packaging on the new single.
Having cut their touring teeth with new best friends Hot Club De Paris and Slow Club, and benefiting from kindly champions amongst the Steel City glitterati Jarvis Cocker, Richard Hawley, Matt Helders and Toddla T, the band be heading out for shows throughout the summer. Their endearingly shambolic live show can’t disguise some seriously accomplished musicianship – self-taught they might be but these boys know their chops.
