  • Psychedelic rock band influenced by The Velvet Underground. Best known for their Just Like Honey.
  • During a press conference known today as the Jesus and Mary Chain Grand Riot, the Reed brothers, Prof. Lulu Reed and her brother Dr. Bobby Gillespie, represented their first thesis regarding the birth of Jesus. They claimed that Mary could have been a crack whore before and during her pregnancy, got pregnant from oral sex only. On the birth's day, so they claimed, she could have taken extasy and get into a psycotic mode that allowed her to throw up our Lord's body through her mouth or possibly her butt. This approach was inspired by Courtney Love's autobiography/cook-book "Been in the oven".
  • The Jesus and Mary Chain are a Scottish alternative rock band formed in East Kilbride in 1983. The band revolves around the songwriting partnership of brothers Jim and William Reid. They released a string of albums, singles and EPs between their 1983 formation and their 1999 breakup, and gained notoriety in their early days for short sets and violence that became common at their live shows. In 2007, the band reunited.
  • The Jesus and Mary Chain were formed in Scotland in 1983 by the Reid brothers William and Jim. Their drummer, Booby Gillespie, was to leave after the first album and would later form Primal Scream. Soon after forming they moved to London and signed to Alan McGhee's Creation label in 1984. After a handful of critically acclaimed singles their first album 'Psychcandy' was released in October 1984. Although failing to reach the UK top 30 it was a hit with the critics (especially NME) with its mix of pop melodies covered in feedback and white noise. The issues dealt with in the songs were typical of the garage rock bands that influnced their style (see Velvet Underground, Stooges etc.) centring on girls and drugs.

The issues dealt with in the songs were typical of the garage rock bands that influnced their style (see Velvet Underground, Stooges etc.) centring on girls and drugs. Their second album, 1986's 'Darklands' was more popular with the record buying public, propelled into the charts by the single 'April Skies'. The 1989 album 'Automatic' saw the Reid brothers enlist external musicians as and when needed while they remained the creative centre of the band.
