UK home-grown black disco band from the 1970's. Dabbled in disco / funk / reggae in the mid to late 1970's - and became very popular in the UK. Biggest hit was "Disco music (I like it)" (it was also the first 12" single on the Magnet label).
The band was discovered at the time on a British TV band contest called "New Faces", which the band won the show. They where then picked up by Pete Waterman, and signed to Magnet Records UK, now at EMI, and released 4 albums and quite a few singles worldwide. They toured the world, and became very succesful in Europe as well as the UK.
Listen for our Parliament-styled p-funk tracks; along "Life is a fight", their version of Fatback's "Street dance", and "Get up".
J.A.L.N. stands for "Just another lonely night".
