Our Story
Born from a love of The Smiths
In October 2016, five musicians from London and the South East came together with a shared obsession: recreating the magic of The Smiths. Not as parody, not as pastiche, but as a genuine tribute to one of Britain's most influential bands.
Every performance is a labour of love—from the jangle of Johnny Marr's guitar, to the driving rhythm section of Rourke and Joyce, to the theatrical presence of Morrissey at his best. We don't just play the songs. We inhabit them.
Our live show draws from The Smiths' raw concert energy, delivering a dramatic set with nods towards punk and rockabilly. With two guitarists, we authentically recreate Johnny Marr's layered guitar parts and capture the sound of The Smiths' final tour featuring Craig Gannon, widely regarded as the band at their peak.
Expect flowers, theatrical antics, and Morrissey's unmistakable stage presence brought faithfully to life. The band are also known for throwing in occasional special treats: covers from classic bands such as The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, Talking Heads, and Depeche Mode.
The name is a quirky play on The Smiths, and our audiences are very much part of the family. Gigs with The Joneses are a sea of singing, dancing and embraces, with fans often joining us on stage, tambourine in hand. From intimate pub venues to large music festivals across the UK and Europe, every show is an emotionally charged celebration of some of the most beloved songs in indie music.
