Kahvas Jute

Kahvas Jute were an Australian rock band formed in July 1970. The mainstay of the line-up was Dennis Wilson on guitar and vocals. Other founder members include Bob Daisley on bass guitar and Tim Gaze on lead guitar and vocals. Their sole album Wide Open was released in January 1971. The group supported Bo Diddley on his second tour of Australia in October 1973. Australian rock music historian Ian McFarlane described their style as "expansive and free flowing, strong on rhythm and melody and bristling with exceptional guitar work". Kahvas Jute did a reunion gig in 1991. Wide Open was re-released in 1993 on CD. In 2005, they played a reunion show at the Basement in Sydney which was recorded and filmed. A DVD and album pack entitled Then Again: Live at the Basement was issued in 2006.
