Julie & The Carjackers, Mr. Williams

Julie & The Carjackers are a Portuguese band created in the summer of 2009 by João Correia and Bruno Pernadas.
After several years of working together on other musical projects from jazz to rock, the project was created "to give shape to a body of songs that both the musicians had been composing but couldn't fit in their previous projects." as we can read on their Facebook.

Influenced by tropical and jazz music, Julie & The Carjackers are a rock-folk band who shares timeless and unexpected music.

In 2010, the band released a self-titled online EP through Optimus Discos. This first work was very low-fi, very home-made, somewhere near the naif and strongly influenced by bossa-nova and the 90's American rock music.

In 2011, they saw their song Boxes being included on the music collection Novos Talentos FNAC.
Later that year, in November, Julie & The Carjackers released their debut album Parasol.
The album is a reflection of their many influences from Chico Buarque to The Beatles and The Beach Boys, with rich arrangements, curious instruments and a sweet environment. Parasol was mixed by Luís Nunes - better known as Walter Benjamin - and released by the Portuguese label Pataca Discos.

Julie & The Carjackers are composed by João Correia (vocals, percussion and guitars), Bruno Pernadas (guitars), Inês Sousa (vocals and percussion), Margarida Campelo (vocals and keyboards), Pedro Pinto (double-bass and electric bass) and António V. Dias (vocals and drums).

According to João Correia, Mr. Williams is about a guy who thinks is sloppy and unlucky but he isn't because he wastes his time complaining instead of appreciating what's around him.
