Then Jerico are an English rock band. They scored four top 40 hits in the UK during the 1980s.[3]

Career

The band's early line-up included singer Mark Shaw, bassist Jasper Stainthorpe, drummer Steve Wren, and guitarist Scott Taylor.[4]

The band played at The Limelight Club in New York in 1983 and signed to London Records in 1984. The single "The Big Sweep" was recorded for London but they objected to the lyrical subject matter (an anti-Robert Maxwell/Rupert Murdoch statement). It was initially released by the track's producer Martin Rushent on his own Immaculate label in 1985 and later as a limited edition by London Records along with the new song "Fault".[4]

The band's songs "Muscle Deep" and "The Motive" charted in 1987.[4] They enjoyed success with two albums, First (The Sound of Music) (1987) co-produced by Shaw and Owen Davies, which reached number 35 in the UK Albums Chart,[5] followed by The Big Area in 1989 that went gold and reached number 4 in the UK Albums Chart.[5] Rick Nowels produced several tracks on the album - this led to the appearance of Belinda Carlisle on background vocals on "What Does It Take", released as the second single. [6]

Released in 1988, ahead of the group's second album, "Big Area" achieved their greatest chart success, peaking at number 13 in the UK Singles Chart.[5]

The original Then Jerico line-up split up in early 1990,[7] with Mark Shaw leaving the band to pursue a solo career. He released his only studio album, Almost, for EMI in 1991.[8] It was produced by guitarist Andy Taylor and included two singles, "Love So Bright" and "Under Your Spell".[4] Shaw performed a few small club gigs in 1993 with Taylor under the name "Then Jerico 2".[9]

In 1998, Shaw re-activated Then Jerico, writing the material for Orgasmaphobia, a self-financed album[8][10] released on Eagle Rock. The album was co-produced by Mark Shaw and Andy Taylor with collaborations from Taylor, Simple Minds' keyboard player Mick MacNeil and author Iain Banks.[10] In 2000, a live album, Alive & Exposed, was released by Yeaah! Records credited to 'Then Jerico... Mark Shaw Etc.'. It was a recording made in the summer of 1992 of a concert at the Grand Theatre, Clapham in London.[11] It contained a new song, "Step into the Light".[11]

Shaw embarked on a new Then Jerico tour in 2012 with an original line-up of the band, made up of Mark Shaw, guitarists Rob Downes and Scott Taylor, bass player Jasper Stainthorpe and drummer Steve Wren.[12]

A 'Reprise Tour' was launched for 2013[13] to promote the release of the Reprise compilation album[13] on Warner / Rhino Music with a number of appearances including at Henley's Rewind the 80s Music[14][15] and at the Let's Rock Bristol festivals.[16]

In February 2014, the 'original' Then Jerico discontinued; however, lead singer Mark Shaw continued, as he vowed to do, with a new line-up to fulfill Let's Rock festival dates in May, June and July that year. In 2015, Shaw played club shows prior to a performance at "Let's Rock London", on Clapham Common, London, on 16 July 2016.[citation needed] Mark Shaw has also worked intermittently with singer Tony Hadley and the SAS Band.

On 27 April 2020, guitarist Scott Taylor died at the age of 58 from a brain tumour.[17][18]

Equation of the center

Simulated view of an object in an elliptic orbit, as seen from the focus of the orbit. The view rotates with the mean anomaly, so the object appears to oscillate back and forth across this mean position with the equation of the center. The object also appears to become smaller and larger as it moves farther away and nearer because of the eccentricity of the orbit. A marker (red) shows the position of the periapsis. In two-body, Keplerian orbital mechanics, the equation of the center is the an...
