Rude Mechanicals
“Artful jazzbo slinkiness and cabaret poetics with fabulous playing from all concerned and brilliantly off kilter but accessible vocalising from the remarkable front woman Miss Jo Roberts…. with elements from the likes of Rip Rig And Panic, Little Annie and Diamanda Gallas there’s loads here to enjoy. And isn’t that Jowe Head once of Swell Maps beneath that top hat..?”
Tony Gleed - Soho Radio and Bugbear
The get compared to The Birthday Party/Nick Cave, Captain Beefheart, The Tigerlilies and Syd Barrett. Their style has been called Post-Punk, Swamp Blues and Psych Cabaret. “Wild, wicked weirdness... a little bit Flying Lizards, a little bit Native Hipsters and a great deal like nothing you've heard before..." (Tom Robinson BBC6 Music).

Jo Wonder
I admire comics, fairy tales and religion for their ability to make digestible awkward truths. My work as an animator has evolved into live storytelling in the form of performance with animation, and most of my pictorial work stems from the worlds contained within my stories.
