	Jellyfish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jellyfish are marine invertebrates belonging to the Scyphozoan class, and in turn the phylum Cnidaria.
		Jellyfish also have ocelli that cannot form images, but are sensitive to light; the jellyfish can use these to determine up from down, basing its judgement on sunlight shining on the surface of the water.
		Chilled jellyfish arm (often known as sesame jellyfish or jellyfish salad) is a common type of appetizer in the Shanghai-style Chinese cuisine, which is often served with sesame seeds, sesame oil and, occasionally, spring onion.

	Jellyfish (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		San Francisco's short-lived power pop band Jellyfish was a project of drummer/singer/songwriter Andy Sturmer, keyboard player/multi-instrumentalist Roger Joseph Manning Jr., "Band Witchdoctor and Mime" Chris Manning (who is Roger Joseph Manning Jr's brother who joined the band as bass-player upon the completion of Bellybutton) and guitarist Jason Falkner.
		Roger Joseph Manning Jr also mentioned that, while searching for a guitar player for Jellyfish, they only contacted people through ads in which XTC was mentioned as an influence.
		After leaving Jellyfish, Jason Falkner joined with other disillusioned pop musicians Jon Brion, Buddy Judge and Dan McCarroll (the latter three best known for their work with Aimee Mann) in a band called The Grays.

	Jellyfish This US band from San Francisco broke into the
		This US band from San Francisco broke into the '90s by brilliantly re-packaging the most gaudy elements of the '60s and '70s pop with irresistible kitsch appeal.
		The band's dress sense was particularly colourful, one critic observing that it could have been drawn from the wardrobes of colour blind charity shop consumers.
		Jellyfish were more than happy to be able to play with at least two of their heroes, Ringo Starr and Brian Wilson, following introductions from Don Was from Was (Not Was).

	[No title]
		Jellyfish has been touring Europe and America to promote its exquisite second album, ''Spilt Milk,'' so the show was a homecoming party for the San Francisco quartet -- the Andy Sturmer/Roger Manning songwriting duo, augmented by bass player Tim Smith an d lead guitarist Eric Dover.
		The band's music is a compendium of fluffy, endearing pop-rock that stretches from the Beatles and Beach Boys, through other equally tuneful ensembles such as the Hollies and the Move, to Queen, Supertramp and beyond.
		Considering the sheer musical prowess and the overwhelming cuteness that the band conveys, it is the sort of perfectly unthreatening, willfully retro rock outfit that may very well encourage shrieking mania among the teenyboppers of the Far East and conjure memories of Japanese Beatlemania.

		Jellyfish flogs a different set of influences, and for that alone it’s refreshing.
		The band was being mentioned in the same sentence as the Beatles, and Sturmer and Manning were being compared to Lennon and McCartney.
		The “Jellyfish Army,” as they called themselves, continue to flourish a decade after the band split in discussion groups and among the group’s side projects.

		As fantastic a band as Jellyfish are, I realize that not everyone is going to be all that familiar with the group.
		Jellyfish claim these songs as their own, and they also do a masterwork job when it comes to the live medley.

		Jellyfish fans may find the childish vocals a bit annoying, but otherwise it’s a fun blend of melodic punk and pop.
		They were one of the top 5 bands ever, with Beatles, Queen, Ten CC and ELO, and they seem to have gone even farther in the richness of sound, voice arrangments, and the quality of music.

		Not that the band wasn't instrumentally capable of it, but it was apparently against the Jellyfish credo to sweat - or at least to VISIBLY sweat.
		And the final thing that really irks me about Jellyfish is that the Sturmer vocal sound and the ultraslick production have proven to be really influential on a certain segment of the pop community.

		Jellyfish - in spite of their name - are not really fish, but relatives of sea anemones and corals.
		Jellyfish have three main parts: round umbrella-like bells which propel the animals with a pulsating motion; tentacles that sting and immobilize prey; and oral arms that are used to eat their prey.
		Christian Craan, who plays bass, added that the band's diversity is echoed by the diversity of their fans.

	Backgammon Jellyfish -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Rhizostomae Jellyfish (also called ''jellies'' or ''sea jellies'' as they are not true fish) are animals that belong to Phylum Cnidaria, included in the class Scyphozoa (from Greek ''skyphos'' "cup" and ''zoon'' "animal").
		San Fransico's short-lived power pop band Jellyfish was a project of drummer/singer/songwriter Andy Sturmer, keyboard player/multi-instrumentalist Roger Joseph Manning Jr., "Band Witchdoctor and Mime" Chris Manning (who has been credited as a bass player) and guitarist/bassist Jason Falkner.
		There has been some theory in that these jellyfish actively hunt their prey—for effective hunting they move extremely fast (moving at speeds up to 3-3 1/2 knots (1.5 to 1.8 m/s)), and have an active visual system of 48 eyes located on the center of each side of the cubozoan's bell.

	Jellyfish: Fan Club (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		There are plenty of bands (like The Vapors, etc.) that only produced two albums, a number of single b-sides and live tracks and then vanished.
		While it's not a load of material, Jellyfish's 10cc meets Queen style was both influential and commercially viable during their brief time together.
		Whittled down to a trio (guitar player Jason Falkner left shortly after the band's first tour to produce his own brand of power pop), Sturmer and Manning hold it together although the sound is a bit thinner and the inspiration a bit forced.

		A 14-track collection of Jellyfish's best-known material (as well as a smattering of rare live tracks) (Greatest) was issued in 1999.

		The band brings to the table an interesting serving of musical styles that include Reggae, Hip-Hop, Rock, Funk,and R and B. Although the band is relatively new, the group has managed to cover a lot of ground together.
		Michael Etzel, 20, the band's de facto archivist, was among the group's most fervent fans when he began downloading recordings of their performances from the Internet for fellow fans to watch for free.
		The Last Dispatch, as it was dubbed by the band, kicked off just before dusk and saw the group and a small handful of musician friends through an uninterrupted three and a half hour set, spanning their eight year career.

		While the first Jellyfish album's eye-popping cover art and the band's absurdly whimsical wardrobe pushed the Summer of Love style, there's nothing remotely psychedelic about the music contained within.
		The disparity was unfortunate, because Bellybutton is a fine debut, a pleasant—occasionally wonderful ("The Man I Used to Be," "Now She Knows She's Wrong," the silky "Bedspring Kiss")—pastiche of pop icons from the Beatles to Squeeze via 10cc, the Beach Boys and Badfinger, all smoothly produced by Jack Joseph Puig and Albhy Galuten.
		In a frustrating development, just as Jellyfish hit its lush apex, a simmering rift between Sturmer and Manning led to the group's dissolution late in '93.

	Pop Underground Downloads - Download Pop Underground Music - Download Pop Underground MP3s
		A one-time member of the West Coast neo-psychedelic bands the Three O'Clock and Jellyfish, Jason Falkner went out on his own by 1996, playing jagged power pop with impeccable arrangements, a clue to both his classically trained childhood and additional time spent working on the first LP by another classical popster, Eric Matthews.
		Though the group gained recognition in alternative circles and released a pleasing debut album, Falkner was unhappy with his role in the band, that of guitarist (and not much else), so he left the band after the one album.
		Vowing to never play in another band again, he bent the promise not long after by joining the loose collective known as the Grays, four musicians who hated the confines of most groups and thus decided to do everything in their power to avoid the pitfalls.

		Although Jellyfish's music may sound frivolous, band members take their musical craft seriously.
		"I think the band is trying to be a little more in tune with playing more serious songs and not be quite as cartoonish," Smith said, referring to the band's first hit music video, "Baby's Coming Back," in 1990.
		The band performed in Europe earlier this year and will extend its tour to Japan and Australia this summer.

		I've been listening since Bellybutton was first released, but recently was in a band with Jason Galuten and got alot of insight into the work done with Alby.
		Jellyfish was quite possibly my most influential music growing up {even ahead of Costello, The Stones & Clapton}, and that should say a lot about how much I respect what their legacy has left for all of us to love & enjoy.

		I am an employee at a Blockbuster Music in Dallas, TX., and we listen to the CD all the time in the store, and all the employees think that it is wonderful.
		Jellyfish were great, I can only really remember 'Baby's Coming Back' because I never bought any of their records...the 1990 (?) singles got a fair bit of play over here on the radio, but they weren't really to the public's commercial taste.
		But like Jellyfish, I get the creeping sensation that they will never make it because although Ben Folds Five are full of top-whack tunes there is not a crossover hit on there, except maybe 'Jackson Cannery'.
