Since 1990, Have existed in Brighton, playing gigs around the south of England and parts of Belgium in their own right at the 1995 "Electric Jelly Jam" and "Tribal Space tour", and others with VIBRASONIC, MANDRAGORA, DOCTOR BROWN, the MORTICIANS, GOAT, PRAISE SPACE ELECTRIC, RON, the GIANT EYES, RED EYE EXPRESS, PAN. WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE's first vinyl appearance was with their song "Thoughts of the Sky", (recorded and engineered by Dave Goodman), on the 1992 psychedelic compilation "FUN WITH MUSHROOMS" from DELERIUM records, and in 1995 a limited edition L/P version of "Overflowing Bowl of Green Jelly" was released by MAGIC GNOME(delerium records). Since 1991, WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE have produced and sold their own home-made cassette albums, "Fresh Today"(1991), "Kingdom of the full review Leon Surreal

WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE are Robert (guitar and vocals) Caroline (vocals, harps andkeyboard) and Ivor (drums). They've been gig'ing since 1990 mostly in England plus Belgium, with bands like MANDRAGORA, DR BROWN and THE GIANT EYES. They're looking for a new bassist at the moment, and a third cassette release via themselves "SPIRALIZE SURPRIZE" will be out in March. WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE wrote that they are ".. into making and recording their own music( we're allergic to all studios and engineers!), getting Stoned and wearing Groovy clothes. We're not too bothered about rushing about gig'ing and trying to make a namefor ourselves that way, ( especially in England which is nearly always a complete waste of time and effort). We just appreciate the fans and correspondance that is something which full review SMOKIN'DRAGON

WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE is a psychedelic band from Brighton which get's it's inspiration both from the present and the past. In spite of being a relatively young band(four years), they succeeded in getting quite a firm reputation in the club circuit and the international underground press. The two big highlights of this band are the strong and sensuous voice of singer Caroline Davey(the grace of GRACE SLICK, combined with the power of JANIS JOPLIN) and the fabulous guitarplay of Robert Chambers, which shows obvious influences of legends like JIMI HENDRIX and SYD BARRETT. (taken from NIJDROP magazine, November 1993, Belgium).

"KINGDOM OF THE BIG WHITE RABBIT"/ WOBBLE JaGGLE JIGGLE: The name of a new BBC childrens program? Not really, We're dealing with a psychedelic band from Brighton, formed in 1989 by Robert Chambers. Other members are Caroline Davey(vocals), Ivor Vazquez(drums) and a new bassplayer. All details about the group's members and history can be read very soon in CROHINGA WELL(#3) when We print the interview We had with the band. "Kingdom of the Big White Rabbit" is the second tape from WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE and it features a psychedelic concept album about the adventures of the band in a surrealistic, imaginary country, filled with weird beings, reminiscent of LEWIS CARROLL's tales. It's great fun to listen to this one hour long continuous psychedelic fairytale full of Sixties influenced rock and full review Marc Muijen

Giant Eyes are now Crawlspace, reinvented & remixed by Nimbus(also drummer in Daddy Fantastic: the new Wobble Jaggle Jiggle). Dark ambience, heavy rhythms, pulsating bass, soundtracks of the soul. Gasoline 2001 remix of Giant Eyes' classic, no. 12 in Crohinga Well chart. Currently working on a website of weirdness, watch this space!  Nimbus

"Strange Tales from the Electric Beyond"- WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE sure have surpassed themselves, both in quality and in quantity. They have upgraded their recording facilities from 4 to 8 track and the idea behind this voluminous release was to clean out the shelves of old recordings, presenting alternate versions of WJJ classics, unreleased songs and newer material. The four cassette sides offer a total of thirty-four short and longer tracks recorded between October 1992 and June 1996, demonstrating their growing abilities to write and record first class psychedelic material. Side one contains most of the recent stuff, like the psych rock of "Green grass", the CHEECH and CHONG humour of "No-blow cheer", a west coast guitar instrumental like "Surfing Conarado II", the totally warped vocals full review Marc Muijen

New album by this Brighton, UK underground band with Vibrasonic / Cherokee Mist / Morticians / Mandragora relations. A brainblowing, stoned magic carpet ride into the electric beyond, a psychedelic rock mayhem with hints of Motor City/West Coast rock. Robert Chambers' pedal-pushing guitar wizardry reminds of Saloman/Watts at their best. Caroline Davey's vocals evoke the expressiveness of Grace Slick and the power of Janis Joplin.

WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE/"OVERFLOWING BOWL OF GREEN JELLY"- WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE is a trio coming from Brighton: they recently appeared in the Delerium compilation "FUN WITH MUSHROOMS" with the beautiful "Thoughts of the Sky". Their latest tape, though being slightly different in the atmosphere of that song, will surely be appreciated by all the people who like raw psychedelic music: echoes of SPACEMEN 3, HENDRIX and JEFFERSON in twelve songs, the most inventive ones being "Cosmic ride", "Force of feedback" and "Dark stroll". The sound is dirty, smokey and powerful, excellent as always, Caroline Davey's vocals. Despite they have shown that they can play better stuff, they can still be considered a great promise. ( from MELODIE & DISSONANZE magazine, 1993, Italy). Melodie & Dissonanze

WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE/"ROCKADELIC REEFER"-the excitement over "Overflowng Bowl of Green Jelly" has only just died down and already We're confronted with a new WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE release. Brighton psychedelics sure are blooming this spring. "Rockadelic Reefer" is a new batc of songs recorded with the same burning passion as the previous tapes. WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE still play a mix of late Sixties/early Seventies acid rock, blues rock and psychedelic pop, with a rough edge to it,partly due to the sound quality of their home recordings. Side A of the cassette ("Rockadelic" side) starts with the instrumental title track, in which Robert Chambers sets the tone with some wailing guitar outbursts. "Brown Armchair" is pure acid rock in the best AFFINITY/STONE THE CROWS vein. "Mushroom Daze" is full review Marc Muijen

These two tapes are the most enjoyable lengths of ferrous oxide that I have consumed in a long while. Stuffed full of Robert Chambers blistering psychedelic guitar work, witty and hilarious songs, Caroline Davey's powerfull voice and numerous surprise effects, they are truly a labour of love ( just eyeball the packaging, man!). The band's appearance on the " Fun with Mushrooms" compilation caused quite a fuss and these tapes can only add to that. Favoroute tracks on "..Overflowing" must be "Force of Feedback"(WOOOAHH!) and "Dark Stroll" while on "..Rockadelic" "Velvety Things" is a trip and-a-half. Brilliant!

WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE/"SPIRALIZE SURPRIZE"-"Spiralize Surprize is Wobble Jaggle Jiggle's seventh tape release already (since 1991) and this one is undoubtedly the most superior-sounding album ever made bythis hard-working Brighton band.Their powerful wall-of-psychedelics at CROHINGA WELL's "EARTH RITUAL FESTIVAL", in November last year, was already a forerunner of this band's fastly growing capabilities. We weren't completely prepared for the vibes this release would evoke here in CROHINGA WELL ranks, however.The tape starts with "Spiralize", over seven minutes of thundering space rock of the best HAWKWIND/SUN DIAL quality; "I've got Gnomes" is a weird psychy trip, featuring very heavy, stoned guitar and "pixie vocals". "We certainly don't know" is sixties west coast in the best psychy full review Marc Muijen

WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE-"FRESH TODAY". This, I think, was their first tape and it's better than most band's second tape. Yeah, all them vital WOBBLIES ingrediants are here, Caroline's GRACE SLICK vocals, HENDRIX'y psychedelic lead guitar, blues rock and why weren't they at "WOODSTOCK"? Let's twist again with the ANIMALS and RY COODER's back for more. The second side of this is real whacky stuff... like a jam session, everyone is being very silly coz they know they are being taped! A nice psyche jam gets going, glide guitars and weirdy bits, HILLAGE's GONG and BARRETT's FLOYD, Lardo Man lubricates the world with jelly to the sound of a Hillbilly Cajun shuffle! Yeah, there's some imagery and mythos here that lifts the WOBBLIES up from the hordes, a band that enjoy what they do and want to full review Mick Magick

WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE/"OVERFLOWING BOWL OF GREEN JELLY"- Ever since the South East coast Mods swapped their Uppers and Downers for Acid in the late Sixties, Brighton has been a very psychedelic city. WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE are one of the latest bands to emerge from here. They are a Hippy band in the old school tradition of cosmic blues rock and they do it really well. They gain a couple of thousand credibility points for one of their singers-Caroline, who is the authentic hippy chic vocalist, part JANIS JOPLIN, part GRACE SLICK. She sings the more blues rock things like "Dark Stroll" and "Flame of Life", which builds from a rumble to a HAWKWIND'ish cacophany. The other singer is Robert Chambers. He sings the more BONZO DOO DAH DOG BAND style "Toke and Joke club"(Kazoo solo-not half mate) and full review Ugly Fanzine

WOBBLE JAGGLE JIGGLE specialise in mindblowing psycho-rock with the impressive JOPLIN-esque wail of Caroline Davey upfront. Squalls of guitar noise givethem a distinctive and unmistakable power and the basic electric energy has a fresh appeal. "Sockitome", a compilation of their material to date is as good a place to start as any. (taken from ROCK'N REEL music paper, 1994, England).

WOBBLE JAGLE JIGGLE/"SOCKITOME"- The latest release from the anarchic psychedelic blues rockers from Brighton who refuse to play the game. If your looking for nice sounds to chill out too- forget it. These are horrific power sounds, distorted to hell and it's great! Never falls apart completely, which shows how good they are. They do teeter close to the edge of complete noise. They have a lot in common with DOO THE MOOG- it's the same "fuck it", let's have some fun" attitude. (taken from GUILFORD NEWSLETTER/GUIL F.I.N., May 1994, England). Robert Chambers
