Band introduction:
Pulp, a strange success of British Britpop, was founded in 1978 by Jarvis Cook, the soul of the band. They have been silent for 14 years. Strictly speaking, they should be musicians of Smith's generation, but it was not until 1994 that the album "His and hers" attracted people's attention, and 1995' s "Alien" really achieved them.
Speaking of pulp, we have to mention Jarvis Cooker, the soul of this band, a middle-aged man with bad teeth but Zhang Hongyan lips and black wide-brimmed glasses. 1985, he jumped 30 meters from the roof with a girl for a love, miraculously stood up, and reorganized the band after 1 year's paralysis. He even jumped onto the stage to imitate Michael Jackson's performance at the brit awards in February 1996, and tried to interrupt Michael Jackson's singing with exaggerated body movements. Afterwards, he just said frankly that he liked Michael Jackson's early works very much, but "I am not a Christian, and I don't like to see someone casually shaping himself into a god." Jarvis Cooker's experience has created his own gloomy but playful character, and also created the musical soul of pulp. Other members of the band include Russell Sr (guitarist), candido Earle (keyboard player), Steve McKee (bass player), mark webber (guitar and keyboard) and Nick Banks (drummer).
Pulp actually comes from Sheffield, an important industrial town in Britain, so the music of the band is more or less influenced by the electronic music of this city. At the same time, since the band was originally formed in the late 1970s, we can also find the influence of Roxy Music and David Bowie on them in electronic music and dance music from their music. 1995' s album "Alien" is particularly bizarre and charming because it skillfully blends disco music. At first, Pulp felt like a neo-romantic band, mainly because the sound effect of the band was similar to that of the electronic synthesizer in the 1980s. The album was accompanied by a lot of wake-up dance rhythm and Jarvis Cook's morbid singing, which made the band look like a rock bar. ...
People like to call Suede gorgeous rock, because this band has created beautiful and intoxicating music. However, the punk style of the band itself seems to have broken people's previous understanding of gorgeous rock. After all, it is foolish to classify abstruse rock music.
1989 Early suede was composed of Brett Anderson, Matt Osman (bass) and Bernard Butler (lead guitar). Later, Simon Gilbert joined as a drummer through advertising, and the band members were more complete. The growth of the band was not smooth sailing. Earlier, Suede was not successful in his record company, and the company didn't like their music style at all. At that time, the style of the band was always out of tune with the popular style. But the band insisted on performing live once a week to improve the band's live level. With the band's unremitting efforts, the band's first single.
The album "Be My God/Art" was released, and its distinctive style did not attract most people's attention, but the band took a big step after all.
1992, the recession of British economy promoted the popularity of bands. In May, the band's debut album "The Drowners" was released by Naked Company, which caused a sensation. Melody Maker magazine named them 1992 best rookie. Then the band won the grand prize in the British record industry. Kissing homosexuals on the record jacket also seems to indicate that a game is about to begin. The whole album is full of horror and suffocating despair. Brett Anderson's sad and beautiful voice is vividly displayed in Bernard Butler's broken guitar.
1993, the band produced a song called "Love &; The video CD of poison live concert, the concert has almost become a classic performance. The gay concert attracted almost all the cynical young people in Britain. The destructive performance of lead singer Brett Anderson is by no means inferior to that of the "sex pistol". In the same year, the band began a global tour, which is the only way for a successful band. The band gave concerts in Asia, Europe, America and Japan.
As Brett Anderson said: I think this is definitely the best record we have ever made, and it is superior to anything we have ever done. Since then, almost every album released by the band has been a success. But Bernard Butler, the guitarist of the band, left when the band was booming, and Richard Oakes became a guitarist. (The guitar style of the latter tends to be mainstream) 1994 released the album Dog Male Star, which further consolidated the band's position in the hearts of fans. Since then, the band released Stay Together (EP).
The band's third album "Coming Up" once again caused a sensation in the rock circle all over Europe. Of course, this album inevitably injects too many pop factors, which a real rock fan doesn't want to see. However, this is an increasingly popular band that cannot be completely resisted (obviously, the band's creation is influenced by the record company).
From 65438 to 0997, the band released two albums, Science Fiction Lullaby. Although this album claims to be a patchwork of some B-end songs, the band has reached an unprecedented height from the interpretation and level of the album (I personally think this album is the best album of the band). Since then, the band has released the album Toule.
At the same time, the band released about 14 singles: drowning man, metal Mickey, animal nitrate, so young, together, we are pigs, wild, new generation, garbage, beautiful, beautiful and beautiful. ...
Now the basic composition of the band is:
Brett Anderson (voice)
Richard oaks (guitar)
Matt Osman (Bass)
Simon Gilbert (drum)
Neil Codling (keyboard)
Justine Frish of the rubber band is sometimes the second guitarist.
Super grass
Supergrass, a carefree young band with a strange name, effortlessly entered the British pop music scene in 1995.
Since then, their two best-selling albums, I Should Coco (I should have some brains) and 1997 (both for money), have reached platinum sales in the UK and sold more than 6.5438+million copies worldwide. At the same time, the band's concert tour also conquered groups of fans.
When they were teenagers, Danny Goffe and Gatz Combs formed a four-person band called "Jennifer Band" in their school in Oxford, England. At that time, they signed a contract with nude records (the famous band Suede also signed a contract with them), but they only released a single. Gaz later met MIck Quinn, an alumnus who worked in a local restaurant, and then formed Theodore Supergrass with Danny. However, they removed the first word of the team name. At this point, the full members of the band are determined. They are lead singer and guitarist Garth Coombes, drummer Danny Goffe and bassist Mick Quinn. There is also an informal keyboard player. He is Garth's brother Robert Coombes. Supergrass's original audience was actually a cow next door to Mick's house. It was not until a demo was recorded at Sawmills Studio in Cornwall (which the band has been using) that the band had the opportunity to perform in front of a large group of record company personnel. Their first single "Caught by the Fuzz" was broadcast on Backbeat, a small independent radio station in Oxford, in the summer of 1994, with a limited release of 250 copies, mainly thanks to the strong support of John Peel of Radio 1. The song was inspired by the arrest of 15-year-old Gus. 1994 10 After the band signed a contract with Parlophone Records, this song was released again and became the "best single of the week" of NME and Mwlody Maker magazine within a week, which is really rare. Then many songs of the first album became hot spots, such as "The Rooster of Mansize", "Lenny", "Nothing" and "Going Out". Then they toured and participated in various music festivals, such as "T In The Park" in Scotland, "Hollywood Rock Festival" in Rio de Janeiro, "Big Day Out" in Australia and "glastonbury festival" in Britain. These performances not only honed the band's live performance ability, but also made them famous.
In the United States, their huge fan Steven Allan Spielberg even came up with the idea of making a TV series based on Super Grass. In fact, Supergrass has become one of the most successful bands in Britain in the 1990s, winning back the British Award for Best Newcomer, NME· Blatz Award, Q Magazine Award and Nordoff Robbins Award, winning the Ivor Novellos Award for Best Song, and the first album was nominated for the prestigious Mercury Music Award.
However, while enjoying the joy brought by the first successful attack, Super Grass didn't forget to stay awake enough, so in the spring of 1996, they stopped all activities, quietly retired and returned to England to recharge. Subsequently, the band collaborated with John Cornfield*** to produce the second studio album "In It For The Money", and the long-term adjustment greatly improved the band's playing skills. This album is more emotional than the last one, from the gripping first song "Richard III" to "Sun Hit the Sky" and then to the affectionate "Late Evening". Although the album is gloomy as a whole, it still exudes humor and adventurous spirit, which has obviously become the band's "registered trademark". The band also received a series of interviews to promote it, and became the cover figures of many magazines such as NME, melody manufacturer, iD and Big Question, so the album quickly reached platinum sales.
1At the end of 999, the band's latest album of the same name "Supergrass" was published, and this album was still completed with long-term collaborator John Kornfeld in their favorite sawmill recording studio. * * * contains 12 brand-new songs. In order to bring forth the old and bring forth the new, the band joined many strange instruments as early as the autumn of 1998 in order to diversify the hard and straight guitar rock style. Obviously, the band has become more and more mature and its potential has gradually emerged. The pre-release single "Cheer up your stereo" reproduces the noisy Supergrass humor and is full of energy, which is also fully reflected in the video. The opening song of the album "Touched" is full of gorgeous string beauty, and the light and relaxed sound of "Shotover" on the west coast also leaves a deep impression on people. Mick Quinn, the bassist, also undertook a lot of singing work (for example, he was the lead singer in a song "Beautiful People", which vividly described the club culture in the late 1990s). Huge momentum, swaying rhythm and thrilling power all appear in every song. Chaos in Your Love, "What's wrong?" What happened? ), right and wrong in Beautiful People (Beautiful People) and so on. When the thunder at the beginning of the deafening experimental work "Eon" (Eternity) rings, it will definitely hit your sad feelings as still as water, and your heart will rise and fall to taste that sadness; When the eccentric rural flavor "Jesus from Kuta Space" sounded, all the cynicism was instantly resolved; The last paragraph "Mom&; Papa "(Mom and Dad), the band's usual frenzied style suddenly disappeared, replaced by a faint melancholy," I miss my mom, I miss my dad ",and every lyric is like John Lennon's lullaby Good Night, and every word is so touching. This song is the perfect ending of the new album and the crowning touch to another height. In addition, the small tour held by Supergrass was a great success, and the tickets hit record highs. The last night of the "Five Nightstand" music festival held on MTV shocked London, and the band's live skills were fully affirmed.
From the elaborate production of the album and the skillful handling of various music styles, it can be proved that Supergrass easily tore up the label of "Radio Guitar Rock" that once bound the band 10. This explosive music group has enough capital for us to wait in the new century, just like they are full of confidence in the future-the fun is yet to come.
Happy Monday
Swearing, immorality, nihilism and happiness are paramount, so Happy Monday began in the 1990s. They appeared at the right time and place, dressed in the right clothes, and integrated with the times perfectly. Perhaps, Happy Mondays are not typical Manchester-style bands, because they are more closely related to clubs, drugs and fashion. They appeared in a loose voice. Although people often compare them with Shi Meigui, inspirational carpets and charlatans, it seems that there are as many similarities between Happy Monday and Shi Meigui as between them and Pictures in Public Enemy 808.
Happy Monday is a group of outlaws, vagrants and midnight vagrants receiving unemployment benefits, but they are enthusiastic at the party. The gang built their lives on celebrating sedatives, dancing and short-lived fears. Their music is futuristic. It broke the bad feeling and made guitar music popular again. They put all kinds of musical elements into the melting pot and wait and see. But no matter what the result is, they will dance with it.
Happy Monday stands out from this group of young people and instinctively celebrates life. Their first album was Pills and Stimulus. Abdominal pain (pills, intimidation and stomachache) is their best record.
After mixing conflict, new order and canned food, it is the music of Happy Monday: fuzzy ACR guitar, northern style bass loop and typical sour house style drum.
After this album, they still hold their ground. But when they recorded the album Yes, Please (Yes, Please), Bardos was arrested. Shaun Ryder became irritable and threatened to destroy the master tape if he didn't send money. As a result, the most expensive failure of "OK, Please" finally declared the closure of Factory Company. This is the band's most disgraceful ending. However, Happy Monday doesn't care. As Shaun Ryder said, they just froze in different places.
1999 March, Manchester, Happy Monday band reappeared. The dissolution of happy hour six years ago was an unpleasant thing. With the help of SJM, the former concert manager of the band, the members of "Happy Mondays" who were originally divided came together again. Even in today's dance music, Happy Monday can still bring a strong auditory impact. As the pioneers of acid house music, their dialogue between dance music and rock music made them rank among the important bands in the history of rock music and become an indispensable part in the history of rock music. Like other reorganized classical bands, they are just speculators who return to the music scene to make quick profits, and they are simply playing with tickets.
Lead singer Kelly Jones has a magnetic, nervous and sticky voice. I also like their other song "Dakota". Stereo was established quite early, and their style was also influenced by oasis, but it has not been very popular in the rock world. Earlier this year, Dakota suddenly topped the list.
