History

This Sydney band played a fiery fusion of hard funk, aggressive rock, psychedelia and soul (somewhere between Funkadelic, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and the `stoned soul picnic' stylings of Sly and the Family Stone). Juice was one of a number of young bands at that time exploring diverse musical avenues on the traditional Australian pub-rock scene: d.i.g.'s acid jazz, Swoop's soulful funk grooves, Def FX's techno-metal, Skunkhour's funk'n'rap and Caligula's techno-pop. Amarnath and Krishna are the sons of Phil Jones who worked with The Unknown Blues in the 1960s, before travelling to the UK where he joined progressive band Quintessence. Lucius Borich is the son of guitar legend Kevin Borich.

Juice supported the likes of Hoodoo Gurus and INXS and issued its debut, self-titled CD EP `Movin' on' (April 1993), which stayed on the alternative chart for 15 weeks and was nominated for an ARIA Award for Best Independent Release [ [http://www.ariaawards.com.au/history-by-artist.php?letter=J&artist=Juice Aria Awards] Awards by artist] . The band issued its full-length album Wine of Life in May 1994 on Polydor Records. Wine of Life yielded the CD singles "Skyhigh/Own Thing" (April 1994) and "Paper World" (November). David Kyle left before the album's release, to be replaced by Ben Rosen. Likewise, Borich left in early 1995 to form heavy stoner rock band The Hanging Tree.

Meanwhile, Chris Simms had replaced Borich in Juice, and the band supported overseas visitors Radiohead and The Tea Party on their Australian tours. Juice issued the CD single `Never Enough' in June 1995, followed by the CD EP `Fractured' in September. Simon Cox replaced Simms on drums, but by early 1996 Juice had split.

In 1998, Lucius Borich, along with Flynn Gower from The Hanging Tree formed Cog

In 1999, Krishna and Amarnath Jones re-emerged with their new band, Juggernaut.

In 2002, Krishna Jones formed nu-metal band Beacon with Emelyn Walters from The Hanging Tree.

Ben Rosen has since gone on to remix Marilyn Manson, Unwritten Law, Nikka Costa, Grinspoon, 8mm and also start his own audio company in Singapore, The Gunnery
