Jazzateers were a Scottish pop/post-punk group formed in 1980 who recorded for Rough Trade Records. The group was formed by songwriters Ian Burgoyne and Keith Band. ==History== The band's early lineup comprised Burgoyne, Band, singer Alison Gourlay, and drummer Colin Auld.〔Cooper, Neil (2013) "(Jazzateers ''Jazzateers'' )", ''The List'', 11 October 2013. Retrieved 30 July 2014〕 One of the early Jazzateers recordings with Gourlay on vocals, "Blue Moon Over Hawaii", was later included on the ''Messthetics'' series of compilations.〔Strong, Martin C (2008) "(Various - Messthetics #105 )", ''The List'', 27 March 2008, retrieved 2010-10-16〕 The band were the last to be signed by Postcard Records, for whom they recorded an album's worth of original songs and covers in 1982 with Grahame Skinner now on vocals replacing Gourlay, with a view to licensing it to a major label, as well as a single ("Wasted"), although the label folded before its release.〔Strong, Martin C.

They were then signed by Rough Trade, who released the "Show Me the Door" single and a self-titled début album in July 1983.〔〔 Both were hits on the UK Independent Chart, with the album peaking at number 14.〔Lazell, Barry (1998) ''Indie Hits 1980-1989'', Cherry Red Books, ISBN 0-9517206-9-4, p. 123〕 The band split up shortly afterwards with Burgoyne and Band and Quinn joining up again with drummer Kenny McDonald and guitarist Mick Slaven to form Bourgie Bourgie.〔 Burgoyne and Band re-formed the Jazzateers in 1985 along with guitarist Mick Slaven and singer Matthew Wilcox,〔 releasing a 12-inch single that year, "Pressing On". Jazzateers recorded one final album, ''Blood Is Sweeter Than Honey'', which remains unreleased. A collection of Jazzateers tracks was issued in 1997 by Marina Records.〔 Slaven went on to join Del Amitri, while Auld joined Fruits of Passion.〔 Wilcox and Band, meanwhile, formed Wild Angels along with Stephen Lironi (formerly of Altered Images) and Douglas McIntyre (formerly of The Bathers).〔 The Jazzateers reformed in 2013 comprising Burgoyne, Band, Skinner, Auld, and MacIntyre.〔"(Jazzateers back together for Glasgow gig )", ''Evening Times'', 26 June 2013.
