http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_tone

2 Tone (or Two Tone) is a style of music created in England in the late 1970s by fusing elements of punk rock, ska and pop music.
The 2 Tone sound was developed by English musicians (mostly based in the West Midlands area) who heard 1960s Jamaican ska songs and decided to play a similar style of music. They combined that style with influences from contemporary punk and pop music. These bands included The Specials, The Selecter, The Beat and Madness.
The new music genre (and associated subculture) became known as 2 Tone, because most of the bands were signed to the record label 2 Tone Records. Other record labels associated with the 2 Tone sound were Stiff Records and Go Feet Records.
The term 2 Tone was coined by Jerry Dammers of the Specials, and summed up the West Midlands scene at the time. The name had a double meaning: it referred to the black and white outfits worn by ska-loving rude boys and skinheads — and to unity between black people and whites, at a time when racial tensions among the British working class were high.
Jerry Dammers, with the assistance of Horace Panter, created artwork that became central to the 2 Tone world. The Walt Jabsco logo was based on an early album cover picture of Peter Tosh, with a black and white check pattern dropped in for good measure.

A little before my time, but very cool nonetheless. I've definitely seen that logo used in modern flyers, too. :-)


About Jette-Ives:
Jette-Ives is the amalgamation of writer/singer Jette Kelly and composer/producer Holmes Ives. The duo was introduced at a party in 2005 by a mutual friend who predicted an explosive collaboration. He was right. Jette & Ives spent the greater part of the year crafting songs inspired by a dark, torrid affair… The band emerged from Washington, D.C.'s vibrant indie music scene and intensified their live show experience by adding players with diverse musical backgrounds from the jazz and underground DJ worlds.

Bios

Jette Kelly:

Jette Kelly is a classically trained vocalist whose powerful voice and charismatic stage presence have enabled her to tour Europe and share festival playbills with names such as The Chemical Brothers, Scissor Sisters, and Franz Ferdinand.

For the Record: Jette is a comfortably debauched, indefatigable, salsa-dancing, chocolate fiend who harbors an unabashed reverence for dry red wine in the afternoon, Miles Davis at midnight, and 'Autumn Leaves' a la Eva Cassidy
Anytime.


Holmes Ives:

Holmes Ives is a renowned composer-producer who has released over forty singles on labels including Bedrock, Six Degrees, Global Underground, Renaissance, Koch, and Yoshitoshi, on which he had their highest selling single of 2005. Ives has produced and remixed for artists such as Moby, Bebel Gilberto, Deep Dish, BT, John Digweed and many others over the last decade. www.holmesives.com; www.ovaremixed.com; www.ovarecords.com

In the kitchen: Jette insists that women worldwide should know that Ives loves to cook. Ives insists that women worldwide should know that the kitchen must not be solely relegated to food; nor should the table and countertops be restricted to eating.


Matt Lewis:

Matt Lewis is a brilliant classical guitarist & upright bassist who studied with the revered Dr. Nels Leonard (one of Andres Segovia’s first American students). Matt’s muses are Bill Evans, Gonzolo Rubalcaba, Chris Potter, Eric Dolphy, Jack DeJohnette, and Scott LaFaro (to whom Matt refers as ‘god’).

Jette-Ives is a stepping-stone to Matt's one true aspiration:A He secretly—and for questionable reasons—desires to play in a Spanish ACDC cover band. 'El Camino a Inferno'.


Danny Tait:

Danny Tait is a recent 'Bachelor in the Art of Music' graduate from Shepherd University. Danny has studied percussion for 15 years and has played Switzerland's prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival.

Additionally: Danny is a rather (endearingly) sarcastic pessimist who enjoys playing Jenga and contemplating the correlation between rhythm and lovemaking.


Scott Fogelgren:

Scott Fogelgren's childhood was inundated with music lessons--his stepfather was a concert pianist who taught at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Scott plays both the violin and the piano; he has sat in with the Naples Philharmonic twice and has also performed at Carnegie Hall. In addition to his impressive classical resume, Scott has been DJing blockbuster parties in Washington, DC for eight years.

How Scott finds time for Jette-Ives: Because he DJs cool parties, creates fabulous remixes, travels, and valiantly battles imperious deadlines, everyone is always surprised to see Scott at rehearsal. And yet—he's always there. So how does he do it? No one knows...but everyone's impressed.

Rex Riddem:

Rex Riddem is a widely respected DJ & percussionist who tours the United States, Latin America, and Russia with Thunderball
(ESL Music) and FK5 (Fort Knox Recordings). Additionally, he has recorded with Afrika Bambaataa of Zulu Nation. Rex’s tribal style rocks everything from laid-back samba breakbeats to latin-infused funk to trippy jazz-lounge. www.myspace.com/rexriddem

Oh Rex: Rex is most definitely the coolest member of Jette-Ives. He never smiles for photographs, is incessantly stylish, and unintentionally woos many a fan.
