Jez Strode

Jeremy "Jez" Strode (born 1958) is best known as the drummer for the British pop band, Kajagoogoo.

Strode began his musical career in a band called Art Nouveau, with future Kajagoogoo bandmates Nick Beggs, Steve Askew and Stuart Croxford Neale.

He left Kajagoogoo after their album "Islands" was released.

The members of Kajagoogoo, including Strode were later brought back together in 2003, by VH1's "Bands Reunited". However, this reunion of all five original members was very shortlived, and the band has continued as a three piece without Strode or original lead singer, Limahl.

Jez Strode is now back with original bandmates Beggs, Limahl, Askew and Croxford-Neale thanks to their new manager Bradley Snelling. Kajagoogoo are playing dates in the UK during the course of 2008 including Retrofest in Scotland and at The Stables in Milton Keynes in early December.
