Jaguar

NWOBHM

There are at least 9 bands called Jaguar: 1) A NWOBHM band formed in Bristol, England who had moderate success throughout Europe and Asia in the early 80's. Further information follows below. 2) Jaguar (Real name: Charles Njagua Kanyi) is a Kenyan musician well known for his philanthropic character and his most viewed Kenyan clip Kigeugeu. 3) A Japanese Visual Kei band (ジャガー) formed in 2004 by Rara(Vo), Ichigo(Gu), Yuuri(Ba) and Naruka(Dr). 4) The hard Techno alias of Alec Empire, under which he released an album and several EPs from '94 to '96, including collaborations with Ian Pooley. See also Richard Benson for a related project, and the oddly-named Jerky J Master 'Disaffected' Cool for a house diversion around the same time. Aside from The Destroyer on DHR, full-length solo releases during this period were otherwise mostly experimental techno on Mille Plateux (under Alec's own name), on top of numerous breakbeat/breakcore side-projects on Riot Beats as E.C.P., among others. 5) A Portuguese indie-pop band. They have recorded a demo in k7 and the first album self-titled in the indie label Bee Keeper. Then in lemon editions they have released the second album Pop-Yen in 2002 http://www.myspace.com/osjaguar 6) A long-distance experimental trio hailing partially from both Eastern and Western Washington State as well as upstate New York. Released some (now deleted) short releases through Idaho-based independant record label Flexible Records (flexiblerecords.com) ...
