Jesus Jones

JESUS JONES
 
 
Jesus Jones  are a British alternative rock band from Bradford-on-Avon in Wiltshire, formed in late 1988, recorded and performed in the late 1980s into the 2000s.  Their track “Right Here, Right Now” was an international hit which was subsequently globally licensed for promotional and advertising campaigns.  They also achieved chart success with the songs “Real Real Real”, “International Bright Young Thing”, and “Info Freako”.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Another band that comes to mind that is not mentioned in the Best Theological Band Names list is the Stiv Bators/Dave Tregunna punk rock band Lords of the New Church; they had first performed together as part of past UARB the Wanderers.  The British alternative/dance band Jesus Jones had a 1990 hit called “Right Here, Right Now”.  

 

I have several others in my collection that include the truly strange 700 Club and the classically trained musician who calls himself MC 900 Ft. Jesus (named for the vision by Oral Roberts that led to the construction of a controversial hospital tower on the campus of Oral Roberts University).
