The Jaded Hearts Club

The Jaded Hearts Club are a supergroup and covers band consisting of lead vocalists Miles Kane (of the Last Shadow Puppets) and Nic Cester (of Jet), bassist Matt Bellamy (of Muse), guitarists Graham Coxon (of Blur) and Jamie Davis (of Coxon's former label Transcopic), and drummer Sean Payne (of the Zutons). They released an album, You've Always Been Here, in 2020.
History.
Formation.
In September 2017, musician Jamie Davis formed the Jaded Hearts Club to perform covers of Beatles songs at his 40th birthday party. He initially planned to hire a covers band, but decided it would be cheaper to ask his musician friends to perform with him instead. The band initially performed under the name Dr. Pepper's Jaded Hearts Club Band; their name references the 1967 Beatles album "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
Bassist Matt Bellamy of Muse said the band began "as a karaoke joke", but decided to continue as they enjoyed themselves and felt other bands were not performing traditional rock and roll: "Going back to that really great songwriting, some of the best historic songwriting ever, and just playing it almost like a jazz band, real instruments, no gizmos, no tech, nothing like that."
Performances.
In 2018, the Jaded Hearts Club played gigs at the Austin South by Southwest festival, in bars in Chicago and Los Angeles, and at a Teenage Cancer Trust show in the Royal Albert Hall. In addition to Beatles songs, they performed songs by bands including Cream, the Who and the Kinks. The members shifted depending on availability, with appearances by musicians including Dominic Howard and Christopher Wolstenholme of Muse, Ilan Rubin, and Chris Cester. Former member of the Beatles Paul McCartney joined them to perform at a 2018 event for his daughter Stella McCartney. In 2019, the band performed a charity show at the 100 Club, at which point the lineup settled.
"You've Always Been Here".
The first Jaded Hearts Club album, "You've Always Been Here," was released in October 2020, comprising covers of classic rock-and-roll and Motown songs. It was produced by Bellamy and recorded in his studio shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
