Eye Emma Jedi (sometimes styled EYE EMMA JEDI, in all caps; the name is a pun on "I am a Jedi" ("Jedi" is a word taken from the Star Wars movies, but apart from the name the band has no relation to that franchise)) is an indie rock band based in London, England. The band consists of Norwegians Alexander Pavelich (lead vocals, guitar), Andrew Murray (guitar, backing vocals), Andreas Reiten Westhagen (drums) and Britons Joe Willis (guitar, keyboard) and Dan Croll (bass guitar). The band is signed to the Norwegian label The Toothfairy Label.
Releases
The band met during studies at Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, and released their first single Crucified in November 2010. Crucified was followed up by Lights in early 2011. Both of these singles were A-listed or B-listed on the Norwegian radio channel NRK P3. Their third single, Brother, was released late 2011.
The debut album was confirmed via the bands soundcloud [1] along with the release of a new single, "Places".
Live Performances
The band's first live performance was during the Malakoff Rockfestival in Alexander Pavelich's hometown Nordfjordeid on 22 July 2011. Shortly afterwards it was announced that they would also appear at Øyafestivalen,[2] one of the biggest festivals in Norway. The following fall the band did several live performances in cities across Norway, including Stavanger, Bergen and Oslo. On 1 March 2012 the band performed its first UK gig, a free concert in Liverpool with support from The Kabeedies and local band Ninetails
