New Mullet on Monday - The Jam
In the video for the 1980 single Going Underground, The Jam's Paul Weller flirted with mulletdom, while bassist/backing vocalist Bruce Foxton fully embraced it.
Band Update: The last couple of years found Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler reforming and performing The Jam's back catalog as "From The Jam - Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler". Foxton and Buckler are joined by vocalist Russell Hastings, and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist David Moore -- both said to be devotees of The Jam. According to Wikipedia, From The Jam toured the UK in autumn 2007, finishing with a concert at Brighton Centre on 21 December 2007 to mark the 25th anniversary of The Jam's final show. In February 2008, they toured the United States and Canada, selling out in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver, Toronto, Chicago and New York. In March 2008, they toured Australia and New Zealand - a first for Foxton and Buckler. A From The Jam album and DVD is planned for release in 2008. The band is continuing to tour, as well.
Since the break-up of Paul Weller's post-Jam band, The Style Council, Weller has enjoyed a highly successful solo career. The most recent of Weller's nine solo albums, 22 Dreams, was just released on June 2, and went straight to #1 on the UK album charts. Weller is currently on tour and plays in Italy and Serbia this week.
