J*DaVeY

Back on track.  I just realized the last two artists I posted weren't big fans of the last letter 'e' in their stage names.  Enough of that crazEEnEss.

On the left we have Miss Jack Davey, her momma named her Briana Cartwright, and yes, she is rocking the undercut/mohawk hairdo.  I guess it's the style that all the cool, young ladies are rocking these days.  (haha just messing with ya Skrillex) (UPDATE: I wasn't the only one thinking it!  Look!)  The dude with her is Brook D'Leau, his momma named him Brook D'Leau.  Sometimes they do DJ sets together under the name Black Morris, but as a musical outfit they are J*DaVeY.  He is the producer and she is the vocalist.  That's where all the concrete definitions stop.  His beats are spacey, her voice is swinging, and she's got a sharp rap tongue too.  Their music infuses elements of hip-hop, R&B, electronica, rock, jazz, and basically everything else.

Here's a taste of their influences and the way they put their own spin on things:
Smells Like Teen Spirit (J*DaVeY Cover)

The song is recognizable, but they've definitely taken an iconic track and brought it into the new millennium.  It got support from Kurt Cobain's estate and from Nirvana drummer, Dave Grohl.  This track is off their latest EP entitled Evil Christian Cop: The Great Mistapes, which is available fo' free at their Bandcamp site.  SLTS is the only cover on there; some of the songs do interpolate other tunes, but in true J*DaVeY fashion.

Other artists often employ Miss Jack Davey for her vocal talents such as on this track by Grooveman Spot off his excellent album, Eternal Development.
Grooveman Spot - What We Do (ft. Miss Jack Davey)

This is probably one of the chillest tracks I have ever heard, and one of my personal favorites.  It would warrant its own post, but I can't find out anything about this guy.  I do know he also goes by DJ Kou-G.  All the sites I've found are in Japanese so I'm not getting too much other info out of those.  Oh well, just enjoy!
