Artist Portrait

Unicorn Jones

Band,
Singer of Rock

A partial It Bites reunion appeared in 1996 in the shape of the band Unicorn Jones. This project featured John Beck (3), Dick Nolan and singer David Banks (3) (who'd once auditioned for It Bites and who'd previously been part of the band Mummy Calls, whose song "Beauty Has Her Way" appeared on the soundtrack to the film "The Lost Boys"). Banks had approached Beck and Nolan to help him record an album of Burt Bacharach covers, but the trio had been sidetracked into recording a bizarre cover of Motörhead's "Ace Of Spades" (in which they described themselves as having "replac(ed) Lemmy's timeless vocal with David's crooner voice and transform(ed) the heavy metal trash into a dark deranged groove"). This cover version spawned the Unicorn Jones band, which recorded one album - 1998's 'A Hundred Thousand Million Stars' - but did not play live.
