A San Diego group formerly known as The Jamul City Funk Band. Jamul (pronounced 'Ha-Mool') is a city in eastern San Diego county. Armstrong was formerly with The Misfits, Desnoyers with Joel Scott Hill in The Friendly Grin, and Williams with Puzzle and The Voxmen. The Jamul City Funk Band was a trio until just a few months before recording, when Williams came aboard. This gave the band the distinct advantage of three lead singers trading off on individual tracks.
The band was signed by Steppenwolf producer Gabriel Mekler to his new Lizard Records label, and it was at Mekler's insistence that they shortened their name to Jamul. For those interested in true minutae, "Lizard" was the name of Mekler's pet cat!
The Jamul album has much to recommend it, particularly to fans of loud hard rock (Euclid, labelmates Frantic, Yesterday's Children bear some resemblance). Of the eleven tracks that make up the album, eight are original. There's also a brutal cover of Tobacco Road, a dirge-like Jumpin' Jack Flash and a bluesy Long Tall Sally with Williams wailing away on harmonica. If this album had not sold in excess of 75,000 copies in 1970, it would be fetching serious money today.
Jamul fell out with their management in 1971, and a split followed. A second album, Jamul II was recorded in 1972 but remains unissued. Armstrong does not figure on this later recording, but apparently Fergus, Desnoyers and Williams all do.
Since leaving Jamul, Ron Armstrong has made a number of recordings featuring other San Diego musicians like Jerry McCann (Orfuns, Framework, Formerly Anthrax), Jerry Raney (Roosters, Glory, The Beat Farmers), Joel Scott Hill (Canned Heat), Bob Mosley (Misfits, Moby Grape). These recordings (which extend from the '70s to the present) constitute an album-in-progress, a pet project of Armstrong's that he has steadily continued to work on when time and capital is available....ITALY WILL BE REGISTERED MAIL ONLY....NO EXCEPTIONS........WE ARE A INDEPENDENT RECORD STORE LOCATED IN GRASS VALLEY, CA 80 MINUTES FROM SACRAMENTO, IF YOUR IN THE AREA STOP BY WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF LP'S, CD'S, POSTERS, BOOKS AND MORE.
