some say it was fate, others say a terrible coincidence. But regardless of such unimportant details here is how the story goes thus far. 
Black Jash, formed in gretna in 1908. They just didn’t know it then. When Sir Wintermere Cuthbertson and his man servant known only as "crabs" were ejected from their lodgings for an incident involving a wench and whore dog, they took shelter in a nearby opium den. A fracas soon erupted due to the pair trading the newly discovered coco bean as "Dr Finckledicks Marvelous Opium Tablets" to regulars at a "cut" price and forcing themselves on many of the unwilling buyers. Cursing the world from the gallows, Sir Wintermere swore that his seed would come back in 100 years to reap revenge on all. 
It was now the year of our lord 2008. 100 years had passed and many generations later Bob Cuthbertson, Known as Rod to conceal his identity and Neil "the Other one" Armstrong, alias Noel, formed Black Jash. They did not plan this but were compelled to after both sharing the same wet dream with visions of Sir Wintermere and his man servant. After recruiting a drummer from the local fish market they recorded some cassettes and bribed sales by giving away a free minow with every purchase. After playing numerous shows around the borders of Scotland and England, their drummer, known affectionately as "liam", left to persue his dream of sailing the seas to harpoon blobfish leaving the trio once more as a two-o. This two-o then recorded a split cassette with with Glasgow youngsters The Male Pattern Band, in an attempt to corrupt their fair countries youth.
 
Out of chance Rob and Noel met Alan and Pete (who’s names are also changed to protect their true identities, Alex and Pauley) at a local convention for the film “planes, Trains, and automobiles” in the summer of 2010. Being the only attendees, the four of them bonded over their shared love of John Candy’s face when he steals Steve Martins taxi and such phrases as “those aren’t pillows” and the moving “my wife likes me, my customers like me”. After finding themselves in a Gin intensified stupor, Alan and Pete agreed, drunkenly, to joining Black Jash’s cause by both filling in the drummers position, a choice they instantly regretted on awakening in a pool of their own vomit with hazy recollections of guns, gaffa tape, parental murder threats and overall blackmail. And yes they both play drums in the band AT THE SAME TIME. Fueled with a mixture of fear and  Stockholm syndrome. The pair have not seen their families since last summer but are fed a stable and regimented diet by their captors. 
 
A failed rescue attempt by the other members of Alan and Pete’s own band “Manatees” resulted in the spectacular “The Black Manajash Arkestra”,  a line up of two guitars, Bass and THREE full drum kits which played a few shows before Rod and Noel “extinguished” the extra members, for “knowing too much”,  leaving Alan and Pete with no alternative but to remain with their psychotic mentors. 
 
The 4 piece, double drumming “band” entered Glasgow’s Green Door studio to record five tracks on Halloween 2010, recorded mainly live and in the analog format, this latest attempt brings back to basics the ethics of simple rocking out just like momma used to make, ala Stooges, MC5, Fugazi, except make no mistake, these corrupt hoodlums are no where near as good, but like all deviants this does not matter to them and will not stop their quest for total domination. Rod, Noel and hostages Pete and Alan will be bringing Black Jash to more venues in the coming year, to drink, play, disgust, amuse, abuse, and generally bash out some unadulterated garage rock. 
Sir Wintermere’s curse will live on.
