Jebediah
Band Perth Australia Formed 1994 Australian alternative rock band
Jebediah formed in 1994 in Perth, Australia. Jebediah has 14 chart appearances on 8 radio countdowns from 1 station on RockLists, spanning 1997–2013. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Leaving Home”, which appears on 3 lists with a best position of #10. The station that charted Jebediah most often is Triple J (Australia (national)), with 14 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 1998.
Jebediah formed in Perth in 1994 with Kevin Mitchell singing and playing rhythm guitar, Chris Daymond on lead guitar and Vanessa Thornton on bass, and a year later Kevin's older brother Brett Mitchell took over the drums. They won the National Campus Band Competition, and when triple j got behind "Jerks of Attention" the whole country started paying attention.
Slightly Odway arrived in September 1997 and it is a scrappy, sugar-rushed guitar record, all yelped choruses and adolescent urgency, loaded with "Harpoon", "Leaving Home", "Military Strongmen", "Teflon" and "Benedict". Of Someday Shambles followed with "Animal", "Please Leave" and "Feet Touch The Ground", and it was their highest-charting album, peaking at number two. The self-titled third album in 2002 brought "Fall Down", and three of their first four albums made the ARIA top ten.
After a tenth-anniversary tour they went on hiatus in 2005, and Kevin Mitchell kept busy as Bob Evans and in the Basement Birds with Kavyen Temperley, Josh Pyke and Steve Parkin. Jebediah regrouped in 2010, and Kosciuszko followed in 2011, another ARIA top-ten album, with "She's Like a Comet".
