We've found two other bands in the world called "Roaring Jelly". One is in New Mexico, and they have a style much like ours. The other was in Derby, England, which was a musical comedy group, but they disbanded back in the late 1980s. Recently they formed a new group, the Omega 3. They have a page about the old band. They sound like a fun gang, but they're not really much like us.
