Jean-Paul Sartre Experience

Among the leading rings of the next influx of New Zealand indie pop that emerged within the wake from the rise from the Traveling Nun label, the Jean-Paul Sartre Knowledge began being a naive but tuneful choice pop action and matured into an indie rock-band with big guitars however the same feeling of melodic experience they had in the beginning. Produced in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1984, the Jean-Paul Sartre Knowledge were released by bassist and business lead vocalist Dave Yetton and drummer Gary Sullivan, who acquired begun focusing on music jointly; the name was motivated by way of a roommate directed at drug-addled discussions from the French existentialist’s writings which could last all night at a time. The group extended to some trio by adding guitarist David Mulcahy, rather than long once they started playing out in 1985, another guitarist, Jim Laing, done the JPSE’s definitive lineup. The JPSE documented a demonstration tape which they released in a cassette-only release loaded in re-purposed puppy meals cans; the tape gained them some university radio airplay in addition to curiosity from New Zealand’s famous indie pop label Soaring Nun Files, who authorized the strap in 1986 and soon released a five-song EP (basically entitled The Jean-Paul Sartre Encounter), along with the album Like Songs (offering many tracks through the tin can demo along with other early recordings, like the sole “I LOVE Weather”), which made an appearance before the calendar year was out. The Jean-Paul Sartre Knowledge sounded considerably tighter and much more polished on the second full-length record, 1989’s How big is Food, which gained enthusiastic testimonials, and the next calendar year the group would put in a key pad participant, Russell Baillie. But there will be delays before the group’s third record; the property of Jean-Paul Sartre threatened legal actions for usage of his name, and for some time the band billed itself because the JPS Encounter, and even though the group cut many singles and EPs between 1991 and 1993, its next album was placed on keep as Traveling Nun sank right into a financial meltdown and attemptedto strike a cope with a significant label for the required infusion of money. In 1993, the JPS Knowledge, who were back again to a quartet using the departure of key pad guy Baillie, finally debuted their third record, Bleeding Star, that was released in america with the reputed indie Matador Information. Bleeding Superstar, which boasted a far more professional creation than anything the group acquired released up to now, owed even more to indie rock and roll as well as the shoegaze motion than their prior work but nonetheless maintained the JPSE’s languid but participating melodic audio, and appeared poised to break the music group to a more substantial audience worldwide. Nevertheless, tensions inside the group begun to flare through the periods for Bleeding Superstar, with guitarist Mulcahy resigning prior to the record was complete. A significant worldwide tour was planned to get the record, with Matt Heine completing for Mulcahy, however the very long road trip just swollen the unease inside the group, and in 1994 the Jean-Paul Sartre Encounter chose to contact it quits. Yetton would continue to utilize the Stereo system Bus as well as the Mutton Parrots, in addition to cutting a single recording. Wayne Laing would play with Yetton using one recording using the Stereo system Bus, and in addition recorded using the rings Dimmer and Lanky. Sullivan would sign up for the music group Solid Yellow metal Hell (which also presented Matt Heine), and Mulcahy would type the group Superette and later on cut solo materials in addition to dealing with Spider and Eskimo.
