Babylon Zoo

Babylon Zoo was the name of a space rock project of the British multi-instrumentalist Jas Mann. The band ended in early 1996 with the single Spaceman and the associated self-made sci-fi video clip in B-movie style an international number -one hit. The success was based not least on the use of the song in a commercial for Levi's jeans.

With the subsequent single Animal Army, the band reached again the top 20 in the UK charts. However, with the third single The Boy with the X - Ray Eyes they could not build on the initial success.

Even with the 1998's King Kong Groover Jas could not connect to past successes man. As the only single from this album only all the Money 's Gone to be mentioned.

A brief renaissance witnessed the project Babylon Zoo with a release of the song Love Lies Bleeding on the internet.

Prior to his time as the mastermind behind Babylon Zoo Jas man was a son of American- Indian parents, songwriter, singer and guitarist of the Britpop band The Sand Kings, but never got beyond the status of small independent band. During his Babylon Zoo - phase Jas Man caught by his androgynous kind attention.
