Q1. Where are you from?
We are all from Dublin except our South African drummer.. there is always one.
Q2. Musical influences?
Funny, we all have different musical influences amongst us ranging from Paul Simon to Jimi Hendrix to Maroon 5 yet when we write and come together we create sounds unique to Jupe
Q3. What’s your song writing process?
Usually an idea is brought before the rest of the band whether it is a lyrical string or guitar hook and together we work on it and somehow turn it into something crazy.
Q4. Most bizarre gig experience?
We were asked to come and play a show in a venue in Dublin owned by Chinese gentleman and when it came to paying us for our time.. lets just say we were stuffed with spring rolls and prawn crackers. Considering it was a last minute gig and we played to about 60 raving Chinese folk covered in glow sticks and whistles.. Definitely down as one of our most bizarre.
Q5. If you could share the stage with anyone, who would it be and why?
As we all have different tastes:
Tim – Queen.. ‘’ Who wouldn’t want to share a stage with Freddy Mercury’’
Phil – Jim Morison.. ‘’We seem to have a lot in common’’
Jonsey – Jacko Pastorious.. ‘’ To be in the presence of such a legend would be a huge inspiration’’
In their own words
Following countless sell-out shows including a special guest appearance with Mumford & Sons, Jupe are set to release their new single ‘’Blind Eyes’’ unto the global stage.
This Dublin new wave quartet, have already made their imprint on the international media front, with radio appearances on numerous North and South American prime time radio stations and are touted as:
‘’The next band to make it outside of Ireland’’ – KNBR San Francisco
Over the past two years, Jupe’s addictive melodies have developed into the vibrant, feel good, Americana sound you hear today. Based around the groove platform of Brendon Rennie on Drums, Jonesy on Bass, Phil Costello on Lead Guitar and topped off by the commanding tones of Tim Night on lead vocals:
‘’It is a sure fire thing that you will fall in love with Jupe’’ – Canada’s Beetroot Magazine
