Deckchair Poets

British Rock Supergroup

Welcome to the band of several names; Deckchair Poets, Zorbonauts and Jerusalem. Their main differences being that Deckchair Poets material can contain humorous lyrics, which in turn can influence their music, whilst Zorbonauts and Jerusalem lyrics tend to be of a serious nature, hence their music can contain a darker edge. However these days the odd smile can be found in Zorbonauts and Jerusalem's work, just as the weight of the World can sometimes be found plonked in a deckchair. As the same select core of musicians play on all recordings there are many similar sounds echoing throughout the outpourings of these differently named bands.
