JABOOM was formed in 2002, when Tom Toronto’s daughter complained that school dances had become listless affairs since live music was banned as a “bad influence”, so could he put a “safe” band together and play for us, pretty please, Dad?

It turned out that the authorities at the school agreed that a bunch of dads would be a good risk. Live music was back, and wanton shenanigans gone, forever. In fact, there haven’t been any stabbings, rapes, or arson at any of our shows - a claim the Rolling Stones can only dream of.

Check out our playlist of songs from the '50s to the present day. You can also hear a few audio samples of JABOOM performances here...
