THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FROM 7TH MARCH
JANUS STARK - were formed at the same time that lead-singer and six stringer extraordinaire Gizz Butt was also the guitarist for The Prodigy during their height-of-success ‘Fat of the Land’ period, which was a number one album in 38 countries in 1997. 1998 saw the Janus Stark debut album ‘Great Adventure Cigar’, produced by Terry Thomas, then known for his work with 3 Colours Red. The original Janus Stark – Butt, Shop (bass) and Pinch (drums) then deservedly found themselves catapulting up the USA Billboard Top 40 with their classic single ‘Every Little Thing Counts’ finally reaching number 32, a significant achievement. It had been at Butt’s suggestion, that in December 1997, the Foo Fighters were invited to tour with The Prodigy. Not only did Butt join the band on stage at these gigs but he also allowed the Foo’s to hear the latest mixes of Janus Stark’s debut album, to which their enthused reaction was that this was exactly what the music business needed, in the form of…
