The Hot Club Of Jupiter

The Hot Club of Jupiter was formed to provide the music for the 2013 Renault Clio online ad campaign, which was promptly judged too lewd for public consumption and withdrawn. The band, however, lives on playing their unique brand of gypsy swing, hot jazz and songs of middle-class angst and caddish behaviour.

Intrepid adventurer violinist Kit Massey has performed all over the globe, playing violin with the Santiago Philamonia, Chile and studying Karnatic violin traditions in Mysore, India.

Christian Miller is a much sought-after exponent of French and American guitar styles often headhunted by visiting international bandleaders.

The rhythm section of Rory Dempsey (double bass) and Matt French (drums) are veterans of many west end shows but are occasionally allowed to emerge from the sub-terrain darkness of the orchestral pit to lend their infectious swing and uncanny musical telepathy to the Hot Club of Jupiter’s sound.
