Mark Shaw formed Then Jerico in via an advert in Melody Maker and debuted the band live in London in 1983.
After a lineup change and just 6 more live gigs in London & New York they signed a 7-album deal with London Records in August 1984. The band recorded several tracks with producer Martin Rushent, but London refused to release the first single ‘The Big Sweep’ due to Shaw’s controversial lyrical subject matter.
The ‘First’ album was re-released bringing worldwide attention and the band toured constantly playing support tours with Iggy Pop, INXS, Propaganda, The Explorers, along with sold-out headline shows including 2 at London’s Royal Albert Hall. In March 1989, the second album was released: ‘The Big Area [Outside]’, selling over 100,000 copies within 40 minutes it immediately attained Gold and Platinum status.
On 23rd August 2024, Mark released a 4 x CD Boxed Set of the full Then Jerico 1980’s back catalogue entitled Then Jerico: ‘Before The Future -1984-1989’ on Cherry Red Records; featuring 65 tracks featuring 19 tracks previously unreleased on CD, including 7 x 24-track demos. The Set entered the Official UK Independent Album Chart at #20 and the Official UK Album Chart at #50. Shaw is planning a vinyl format for release in Autumn 2025.
