The Jilted Generation: the world's ONLY Live Full Band) tribute to The Prodigy! Since their inception in early 2005, the energy and madness of the Jilted Generation has torn up venues and festivals across the UK and Europe. The stages of top venues such as The Limelight in Crewe, JB's, Dudley, Liverpool Carling Academy, The Rock Café 2000 in Stourbridge, The Gasworks in Bradford, The Horn, St Albarns, LA Rock Café, Cannock, Glastonbudget 2007 Festival and the huge Bugjam 21 VW Convention, have all been laid to waste by Jilted Generation's explosive 90 minute live assult!

The group was founded by Prodigy superfan Jason Shorthouse, who's presence and vocal stylings play a huge part of the energy of the band in the role of MC 'Maxim Reality'.

Jase is now however not the only vocalist: Royal 'Eddie' Fitzwilliam plays the role of 'Keith Flint' shouting at the crowd, spitting rasping lyrics and feeding off the music like an adrenaline junkie!

The brains of the opperation are provided by local DJ and DnB Producer Mark 'Sparky' Hall, who plays the role of Liam Howlett, Using Laptops armed with Ableton Live and a host of real hardware synths to blast out sick, twisted sounds and dropping loops and samples into the live show.

Live drumming duties are carried out by Robin Powers on a wicked, chromed-out drum/pimp kit, with expert timing and amazing skills and stamina! Ladies take note!!!

Seano Porno completes the line up. A guitarist of many years, He brings a raw punk edge with noisy quirks to the table. The most seasoned member, having had touring and recording experience playing with well known punk and hardcore bands such as Set Against, Freebase, Sensa Yuma, Police Bastard and the delightfully named "DOGSHIT SANDWICH!!!"

The main goal of this tribute is to provide the full on Prodigy experience. To look and sound as authentic as we possibly can, meticulous attention to detail is paid, from costumes to equipment and of course, recreating the music to a note-perfect standard. Like all good tributes, we've never been under any illusions that we are the real band, and have a deep respect and appreciation for the original group. We do pride ourselves on going as far as we can towards coming as close as you could ever get, and that's what every tribute should be! Thousands of happy punters will agree with that! Even former Prodigy live guitarist Gizz Butt said his guest appearances with us were "Like having a flashback!"

We are also currently writing our own stuff, of which two tracks have been professionally recorded. You may hear them cheekily slipped into the live show from time to time!

In a scene full of bands who don't put enough energy and passion in their live shows, we have the buzz to look like a visual nuthouse, perform the madness of the tracks, make people lose their minds and not give a fuck...

We just wanna rock it!!!
