Hello JAMIROQUAI Club Members,

Economic Crisis has hit home for me, been laid off, don't worry, I'm
managing! Anyway, here is the latest:

1# Julian Perretta, an artist that Jamiroquai musicians Rob Harris
and Matt Johnson are working with has just been ranked at number #3 in
the "MTV UK Spanking New Artists for 2009" list.

He gives an interview at the MTV website where he talks about how he
got together with Rob and Matt....

Who has worked on your debut album with you?

I've written the record with two guys who were in Jamiroquai -
Matt Johnson and Rob Harris. Someone will come in with a riff and
we'll build it from there.

How did you start working with them?

I left school at 16 and went to a drama school and got really
obsessed with Jamiroquai. I looked for them on MySpace and they got
back me.

I went over to one of their houses and wrote a song. Since then
we've done the whole album together- I signed a record deal two years
after I met them.

2# According to the Krakow Events website, Sola Akingbola will be
performing at an International Percussion Festival at the Manggha
Museum in Poland on 19 February.

"One of Krakow's sleekest venues plays host to the second
installment of the International Percussion Festival. Today you can
step into the wondrous world of the gamelan, Indonesia's ancient
percussive tradition. Also in store is long-time Jamiroquai
collaborator Sola Akingbola, whose recent solo album Routes to roots
lets rip with Nigerian drumbeats."
