Rootjoose were a surf-rock band from the south coast of Cornwall, England. They had an almost
cult following around the UK of dedicated fans who've became addicts of their energy-filled fusion of funk,
pop, dance and downright musical dexterity.
Reaching sub top 40 positions with releases during 1997 with Avex records, the band 'went it alone' after
Avex pulled out of the UK during 1998. After that, Rootjoose remained very active, gigging relentlessly up and down the country. Although
remaining without a record deal, the guys released a 'home-grown' EP Money and Time early in 1999, although a new album never materialised.
Completing the story... from Jamie Crowe himself: "We basically threw in the rootjoose towel at the end of 1999. Fez left for a more economically stable career in IT. Myself Harry & Rob wanted to go in search of a sound so we formed rairbirds. We eventually got picked up by OLI in 2002 but after 10yrs together Harry wanted to do his own thing. That became Kubb. Rob & I had a rethink and that became rairbirds1 (the debut album). Harry left us with some vocals and features on 2 tracks on the album, all the rest is me n Rob."
