Bio
JESUS VOLT Hallelujah Motherfuckers DIXIEFROG After 10 years on the road, over 700 gigs and 3 studio releases, Jesus Volt is finally unleashing its live outfit and takes you on a musical journey through different styles, where modern music meets Rock and Roll, tinted with a strong blues sound. A recording in the likes of the great live albums of the 70's. That in those days meant eternal gratitude or never-ending despise. These 10 original cuts are fresh and vivid and proove that music must be in perpetual movement. Ddiggin' out 2 covers "Mannish Boy" and "John The Revelator" on beat box, samples and other Voodoo yells, the Volts are getting back on their feet gain in peak condition. Absolutely their most kick-ass and best work to date. Raw, immediate, intense and wild. A hell of a record!!! .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... ...... .......... ROCK'N'ROLL. Enfer et Damnation. Riff crasseux, grésillements dans les tétes d’amplis, la voix est profonde et brule langoureusement le blues. Derrière Jesus Volt, il y a forcément de la bouteille. Quelques années de route, des concerts empilés dans les flycaces et ce vieux breuvage, planqué au fond du tour bus, fiole qui poussa le rock’n’roll à pactiser avec Lucifer et qui emporta Gallagher et Vaughan. Le feu de l’enfer ainsi dompté, Jesus Volt sort son troisième album sous l’étendard de Dixiefrog. Marqué au fer rouge, “In Stereo” ne déroge pas aux règles que s’est fixé le quatuor. L’energie y est canalisée et la substance en constante ébullition. Tendu, sale et aride, le rock étalé ici s’envenime parfois de quelques ondes électroniques, comme pour mieux conjurer les sortileges. Jesus Volt joue avec son temps tout en continuant à puiser ses racines dans les années 60 et 70. Un baril de poudre catapulté dans nos montagnes pour trois concerts chauds bouillants.

Members
.... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. "The numbers on Jesus Volt: Jesus Volt has existed for ten years, performing over 700 concerts (France, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Austria and a one-month tour in Australia), has sold over twenty thousand CD’s, but more than any number can represent, they are four strong personalities: Lord Tracy (singer and harmonica), Mr. Tao (guitar), Julienass (bass), and Magic Doudous (drums). A few words on Jesus Volt: Jesus Volt is a united, homogenius and mature group of musicians who figured out just how to focus their wild energy into a solid group without losing their way individually down the creative, mysterious path of music. Together, they’ve managed to use their performances as a way to nourish their music. A few notes on Jesus Volt: Their music is a contemporary crossbreed of electronic sound, with a foundation richly based on Blues of the 40’s and 50’s, Funk of the 70’s, passing through the era of Rock and Roll, while keeping their ears open wide to the new sounds of the 21st century. Their third album, “In Stereo” was recorded in July 2005 in Chalet (Bordeaux, France), under the brilliant artistic direction of Tony Cohen, Australian producer of Nick Cave, Sacred Cowboys, as well as Michael Hutchence. He fell for Jesus Volt in 2004, during their tour in his native Australia. A few guest performers came along for the ride on this album, lending their talent to the four members of Jesus Volt: Arnaud Mellier, alias “DJ Cook”, from the group Ripley,on scratch & amp beats; Boney Fields (James Cotton, Buddy Guy, Maceo Parker etc… ) on trumpet and backup vocals; Nicolas Liesnard ..board and Frédéric Girard on percussion. Duly energized, the Volts headed into 2006 with fire in the gut and never stopped touring since. That fire was harnessed in March 2008 via a live album (live outfit) “Hallelujah Motherfuckers!” A recording in the likes of the great live albums of the 70’s, that in those days meant eternal gratitude or never ending despise. These 10 original cuts are fresh and vivid and prove that music must be in perpetual movement. Diggin’ out 2 covers, “Mannish Boy” and “John the revelator” on beat box, samples and other voodoo yells, the volts are getting back on their feet again in peak condition. Absolutely their most kick-Ass and best work to date. Raw, immediate, intense and wild. With intelligence, sensitivity, open-mindedness and talent, Jesus Volt confirms that Rock and Roll is not only here to stay, but is ready to cross into the frontier of tomorrow."

Sounds Like
Guess who? Parole messianique ou non, Jesus Volt n'obtient pas la grâce de Dieu que ces derniers espéraient tant. En 7 années d'existence et plus de 1000 concerts en France, Suisse, Belgique, Italie et Espagne, les médias ne se sont jamais assez intéressés à eux. Troisième album de ces Francais, "In Stereo" mêle blues 50's, rock et funk 70's tout en étant totalement ouvert sur les musiques du 21ème siècle. Produit par Tony Cohen, producteur australien qui a collaboré avec Nick Cave, "In Stereo" est un opus varié, homogène et mature, canalisant son énergie et sa force dans le blues de Hound Dog Taylor ou de Tony Joe White. Le timbre de voix de Lord Tracy colle parfaitement à cette musique du "diable". Apprivoisant son grain de folie pour le mettre au service de sa créativité, Jesus Volt utilise sa grande expérience de la scène pour aller de l'avant et nourrir sa musique. Julien Garric .. .. .. .. .. Jesus Volt (PARIS-Frankreich) Die Band existiert seit zehn Jahren und hat bisher über 700 Konzerte gegeben (Frankreich, Niederlande, Belgien, Italien, Spanien, Österreich und Australien). Sie hat seitdem mehr als 20.000 CDs verkauft. Jesus Volt ist eine Gruppe von Musikern, die herausgefunden hat, wie sie ihre enorme Energie auf ihre Musik konzentrieren kann, ohne die Individualität der einzelnen Musiker auf den mysteriösen Wegen der Musik zu verlieren. Zusammen schaffen sie es, ihre Musik ständig weiter zu entwickeln. Die Musik von Jesus Volt ist eine Mischung von Blues der 40-er und 50-er Jahre, Funk der 70-er und einem guten Schuss Rock‘n Roll, jedoch immer offen für den Sound des 21. Jahrhunderts, teilweise klingt die Band aber auch wie Doors in ihren besten Zeiten! Ihr drittes Album, “In Stereo” wurde im Juli 2005 unter der brillanten künstlerischen Leitung von Tony Cohen, dem australischen Produzenten von Nick Cave aufgenommen. Im März 2008 entluden sie sich in ihrem Live-Album “Hallelujah Motherfuckers!” Nun starten JESUS VOLT erneut durch und gehen mit ihrem neuen (vierten) Album im Gepäck wieder auf Europa-Tournee und machen auch für acht Tage in Deutschland Station. Mit Intelligenz, Feingefühl, Offenheit und Talent bestätigen Jesus Volt, daß Bluesrock nicht totzukriegen ist, sich aber ständig weiterentwickelt! Vier starke Persönlichkeiten bilden die Band: Lord Tracy Gesang und Mundharmonika Mr. Tao Gitarre Julien B. Bass

commented on Jesus Volt's profile

"2012: JESUS VOLT BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY….ROCK AND ROLL JESUS VOLT is finally a teenager - 13 years old - with over 1000 concerts worldwide on the meter. LORD TRACY (vox and harmonica), EL TAO (guitar), JULIENAS (bass) and MISTER H (drums), deliver their own brand of heavy Rock’n’Roll based on the unshakeable foundation of 40’s and 50’s Blues through to 70’s Funk. With hands on the heartbeat of music in this 21st century, JESUS VOLT dares to put various styles in the ring: Hip-Hop, Blues, Electro sampling and Hard Rock riffs… Flashback to 2004; while touring in Australia, the group crosses paths with Tony Cohen, the producer of the likes of Nick Cave, Sacred Cowboys, Michael Hutchance amongst others. Having caught Tony Cohen’s eye, the group’s third album « In Stereo » would be recorded under this Aussie’s direct command. Guests such as « DJ COOK » from the band « Ripley » on scratches and beats; Boney Fields (BB King, Luther Alison) on trumpet and back-up; Nicolas Liesnard on keyboards and Frédéric Girard on percussion all left their shared mark embedded in the album. « In Stereo » would be warmly received by press and public alike. Flash forward to 2008, JESUS VOLT brings out their first live album. This is a crucial moment for any group who takes the dare to seek sweet recognition while risking the bitter taste of contempt…. The message rings clear: this music has to be kept in perpetual motion! There’s no room for yesterday’s Rock’n’Roll and Jesus Volt is the group who has the charisma to keep moving forward. So touring begins, taking the gang of four throughout Poland where they will share billing with Joe Bonamassa and Ten Years After to name only two. Gigs in Lithuania, Germany, Holland, Austria, Italy and Croatia will follow. JULY 2011. The summer send Jesus Volt back to the studio to work on the pre-production of the next album. Their ambition is to entice a major artistic director to take their music and their notoriety the next level up. The group gets in touch directly with Stuart Epps (Led Zeppelin, Paul Rogers, George Harrison, Elton John…) as well as with MARK OPITZ (AC/DC, INXS, KISS, ROSE TATTOO) from Australia. There is a holy denouement when both show their interest in the project. In the end, the group chooses Mark Opitz, thus following their affection for Australia and their musical affinities with this international producer whose work with AC/DC on « Powerage » and « Let There Be Rock » seems the only choice possible for this very Rock’n’Roll band. Mark Optiz hopes to record with the group from May 27th to June 24, in a remote corner of the country after a week of intense preparation in Paris. The album is expected to come out in the autumn of 2012, planting a huge stone in this saintly sanctuary with several « guests » to be announced. To be continued….. "
