Welcome to our new website!!
Jute will be playing shows in September. Please check back in August for the dates.
In addition to rehearsing for summer/fall shows, we have been busy recording a score for the film "Carnival of Desires." The film, directed by Mark Miremont, will be finished sometime this summer. You can check it out at: MarkMiremont.com. The film can be described as: "an abstract, bizarre, stylised vision of beauty something like ManRay's surrealist films from the 1920's. A montage of erotic still photos come to life."
Welcome to our new drummer Joe St. Charles. He is a wonderful guy and a fantastic drummer. He has another musical project called The Typewriter. You can check it out at: typewriterwonderland.com.
We, very regretfully, had to say goodbye to our drummer Dan Smith. Joe and Dan had played together in bands for the past 10 years. Dan left for personal reasons. We wish him the very best!
Jute has licensed their songs from "a violent narcotic" to Skate Maps, a reality show about skateboarding across Europe.
We were chosen by CD Baby as one of eleven bands in the category of "headphones on. lights out. eyes closed." They wrote: "For those who like music to be a total sensory escape from the world. The sounds come from all around. Scary, enticing, otherworldly. Forget where you are." cdbaby.com
Jute's songs have been licensed to MTV and VH1 for use as background/soundtrack music for the shows Road Rules, The Real World, Extreme Challenge and Born to Diva.
"A Violent Narcotic", Jute's debut CD is released. The CD includes 11 songs and a video for Southern Exposure on CD-rom.
