The Jumpsuit Collective
Hailing from the small market town of Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, The Jumpsuit Collective are currently a quartet who write and sing all their own material about love, mexicans, relationships, gigolos, punctuation, being a geek and unwanted erections on the bus. Heavily focused by their founder, The Jumpsuit King, they continue to perform around England, with most of their gigs being for charity.

FNQ
One of the earliest public performances The Jumpsuit King (hereafter known ask JSK) had was with the band FNQ. FNQ was a band formed by JSK with an old school friend of his along with his brother. The songs were rough around the edges and featured heavily from the dark mind of his old friend. Performing at the first Robstock held in the Old Fire Station in Leighton Buzzard (headlined by the legendary Syphilis), they opened up their set with JSK muttering "Hi, we're FNQ. Q can't be here today as he's at Alton Towers." It was this lack of commitment to the vision that led to the inevitable break up of the band.

Indians
Not content with being in FNQ, JSK was also in Indians, who were also on the bill of the first Robstock. Formed whilst he was employed at hmv with three co-workers, Indians (definitely not "The Indians") was a short lived experience. Playing a handful of gigs, including a competition in Manchester where they won a cabbage, it was their creative differences that led to their eventual demise.

The Jumpsuit King
The greatest thing about being in Indians was that it showed JSK what talent he had and gave him the confidence to go it alone. So, for Robstock 2, he was on the line up simply as "The Jumpsuit King". Sporting a green jumpsuit, he took to the stage, assisted by his first side-kick, Prince Wingman. Born out of many a drunken conversation, the two musicians quickly found a harmonious balance and went on to perform at various gigs and acoustic evenings, until they outgrew being a duo and required more people to join for a greater sound.

The Jumpsuit Collective
No longer a lone troubadour (was he really ever?), JSK was accompanied by fellow musicians who shared the same love for music, films, football and drinking. The group grew very organically into the line-up we see today. Not particularly looking for people to join, the duo first initiated the Prince's brother, Baron Von Eye-Candy into the fold, with Sebastian Tempest soon to sign up.
