Jacob Yates and the Pearly Gate Lock Pickers is a band from Glasgow, Scotland, fronted by Jake Lovatt, former front man with Uncle John & Whitelock. Taking many of the signature "Horror R&B" elements of the previous band with them, The Pearly Gate Lock Pickers' music has been described as Doom Wop.[1]
Jacob Yates and the Pearly Gate Lock Pickers were formed in 2007 by Jake Lovatt, former front man with Uncle John & Whitelock. The band was initially a three-piece, consisting of Lovatt on vocals and guitar, Ric Holmes on bass guitar and Michael Bleazard on drums. This lineup was later augmented by the addition of former Uncle John & Whitelock member, Jamie Bolland, on keyboards and guitar. In 2011, former Paper Planes guitarist Christopher Haddow was added to the lineup.[1]
Their debut album, Luck, was released on 20 June 2011.[2] The album was well-received, with the music described as "dark with a mischievous grin"[3] and as having a "Mississippi-meets-Maryhill sound",[2] drawing comparisons with Tom Waits, Nick Cave and The Cramps.[4][5]
