Bio

u n c l e j i m is just over two years old though it’s members - Rob Robinson and David Goard - have worked together on art installations for more than a decade. As u n c l e j i m it is Rob that has the more avant-garde sensibility whilst David manifests as a miserable version of an Everly Brother (who?). The situation is compounded by a fairly extreme difference in musical tastes. Rob insists that he doesn’t write songs whilst that is exactly what David is trying to do! Influences? They are as long as your arm and as diverse as dogs but in spite of this - or maybe BECAUSE of this - Rob & David come together to create "digitised music with a fat dab of humanity".
