Misty's Big Adventure

Misty's Big Adventure were an English indie pop band, formed in 1996 in Birmingham by singer-songwriter Gareth Jones (AKA Grandmaster Gareth). Their music incorporated elements of jazz, lounge, psychedelia, 2 tone, pop and punk.

The band was composed of singer and sole songwriter Gareth Jones (AKA Grandmaster Gareth), bassist (and brother) Matt Jones, drummer Sam Minnear, guitarist Jonathan Kedge, trumpet player Hannah Baines, saxophone player Lucy Baines, keyboardist Lucy Bassett and dancer Erotic Volvo.

Commenting on the band's lack of commercial success, Gareth admitted that "some people can't see past the novelty aspect. There's a part of

me that just wants to make people laugh. Being grumpy, but finding the fun in grumpy."

On 19 May 2022, it was announced via social media that frontman Gareth Jones had died on 15 May 2022, the day after the band had headlined the Hare & Hounds venue in their hometown of Birmingham.
