In the Beginning.....
Rockology were formed by Rod & Jai back in October of 2004 Purely by accident, one night in E.J's Bar –Torquay, where Jai's uncle DREW MILLIN was performing. Rod ((guitar)) & Jai ((vocals)) were currently performing together in the band "Somethin' Else" but had never performed as a duo. But that night Drew invited the Boys to get up and perform. After a brilliant acoustic version of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the water", Andy Oakley (of E.J’s bar) gave the lads there 1st gig. At the time they chose to call themselves "ACOUSTIC ROCK".
Armed with there new name and new image, the duo have gone on to perform some of the best music from the world of Rock. From AC/DC to ZZ TOP the duo are constantly hard at work learning new songs. For the next few months of many gigs and the release of "live @ E.J's" C.D, there was unfortunate clash of names with another duo which led to the renaming from "Acoustic Rock" to "ROCKOLOGY". The name came to Jai one night after watching the Jack Black movie - "School of Rock" (and supping on a bottle of Jack Daniels!!)
In one year since forming, ROCKOLOGY had become one of the best duo's in Torbay and Devon... Jai says "Working with Rod is a pleasure and one of the best things to happen in recent years and we have alot planned for the future and this hopefully will include our 1st original debut E.P. We have alot of ideas and it's an exciting time for us.
2009 was a busy year for Rod & Jai busy gigging and writing. Jai's hair has got longer and his belly bigger! But its now 2010 and they are stronger than ever with the sister band "Crossfire" in tow. The guys are still writing and plan to get in a studio at some point this year to record there original album !! There are some new venue's but still some of the usual venue's and we'd like to say Thankyou for your support during 2009, was a great year !
So what have the lads been upto ? Well Rod still goes out gigging with Sam Scott (sister) under the name ROX, follow the link for dates/news etc, and is also still teaching guitar at Applestone music in Torquay. Jai now has his one man show " Jai Rocks " - ' Performing the Rock 'n' Pop You Grew Up With ', which you can read about on this site. Also Jai has now left ' The New Machine - Pink Floyd Tribute ' after 4 yrs of performing as Lead singer/Drummer, but wishes the rest of the Band all success for the future. More news is That since leaving The New Machine, Jai has been asked to re join his old Metal Band from the 1990's ... " Mad Hatter " !! So after a couple of sessions jai agreed to re join Mad Hatter, So keep a look out for them and follow the link to their site for gigs etc ...
You will notice the site is a little different than before. Reason for this is Rockology welcome back, their old mate and guru Andy Oakley who they have handed the site over to. As for our good friend Dave of djh computers, he has other commitments now, so we thank Dave for all his hard work over the past 3 yrs and wish him all the best for the future. So i hope you like the new site, Andy has given it a full spring clean ! The usual pages are still with us but in addition we have a venue's page where you can find the address's, a pic of the venue and also details of what services they offer. Please feel free to use our Guest Book, where you can leave your comments and thoughts on Rockology, CrossFire & Jai Rocks or whatever you like really (Bullshit comments will be deleted) or you can always E-mail us at Rockology@hotmail.co.uk So please enjoy the site and basically, see ya out there !!!!
