Artist Background Research

The Jacques 

Our chosen artist to make a music video for is The Jacques, an indie rock band, from the Bristol area, who formed in early 2014. The band is made up of two sets of brothers, who have played at many venues including at the Dot to Dot Festival and Glastonbury Festival as well as being a sport act for The Libertines at Hyde Park. The band was signed at Hyde Park by the drummer from The Libertines, Gary Powell. 

We decided to use this band as they were a friend of one of our group members so we knew we could easily get permission to use one of their songs for our coursework. They also go to university fairly locally and when they aren't at uni they are only as far away as Bristol, so it should be fairly easy to negotiate a time when we could meet and record with them.
