'''Jebediah''' are an Australian [[alternative rock]] band formed in 1994 in [[Perth, Western Australia]].<ref name=Aus>{{cite news|url=https://www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/jebediah-five-years-later/news-story/51726351a2144195d184e414833e4548|title=Jebediah five years later|newspaper=[[The Australian]]|date=15 April 2011|first=Ian|last=Shedden|access-date=18 September 2023 }}{{subscription required}}</ref> They were formed by Chris Daymond on lead guitar, [[Bob Evans (musician)|Kevin Mitchell]] (aka Bob Evans) on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, and Vanessa Thornton on bass guitar. They were joined a year later by Kevin's older brother, Brett Mitchell, on drums. After winning the National Campus Band Competition, the group were brought to national attention when their 1996 single "[[Jerks of Attention]]" received heavy airplay on Australian alternative radio station [[Triple J]] – which was followed by their breakthrough debut album, ''[[Slightly Odway]]'' (8 September 1997).

The band released four studio albums by 2004: three entered the top&nbsp;ten on the [[ARIA Charts|ARIA Albums Chart]]; their second album, ''[[Of Someday Shambles]]'' (3 October 2000), is the highest charting at number&nbsp;two. After touring to celebrate their tenth anniversary, the band went on hiatus in 2005. Kevin Mitchell continued solo work under his pseudonym, Bob Evans. Kevin also appeared on a self-titled album in July 2010 by the [[Basement Birds]], a [[Supergroup (music)|supergroup]] which he formed with fellow musicians, [[Kavyen Temperley]], [[Josh Pyke]] and Steve Parkin. Jebediah reconvened in 2010 and released their fifth studio album, ''[[Kosciuszko (album)|Kosciuszko]]'', in the following year, which charted in the ARIA top&nbsp;ten.
