JUGBANDITS—Colleen Talson, Victor Talson, John Hewson and Graeme Card—are a band. All are musicians. Particularly John. The newest of their number, 4, John comes with guitar, mandolin, trombone, cahon, harmonica and voice. He is only allowed to play one instrument at a time. He was a band teacher, and now teaches Jug.

Colleen (voice, ukes, washboard, tap shoes and plank) is a female singer with a big heart. She brings to the band a flair for language, speaking primarily English, Spanish, and cockatoo. Victor (bass, dobro, et al.) is tallest in intellect, with snow on his peak and a background in everything. Graeme (B.A. Magna Floribunda) projects an image as a guitarist when you first talk to him, but he’s really a kazoo player at heart and seeks to widen the acceptance of this complex instrument among the instrumentally deprived. His voice, when he’s using it, is likened to that of a bicycle going down hill.

Founded and living somewhere in Victoria, JUGBANDITS project a wildness found rarely outside petting zoos and are unlike any band you have seen this morning.
