thanks RFNAPLES, that's the first batch completed. Where a single nationality cannot be determined, we've flagged it as 'mixed nationality' (e.g. some groups where band members are from different countries and also some artists such as Rufus Wainwright).

Composition so far*:
US - 52% of all bands
UK - 24%
Canada - 4%
Australia - 3%
[All other countries make up the remaining 17%]

(*Sample size: 2,500 bands.)

We'll post back later with some more anomalies after the next batch of bands has been processed...

Second batch of bands now processed. We've populated almost 4,000 out of approx 6,000 bands. We're having problems finding out the nationality for a few more bands.

Would anyone care to tell us the nationality of the following?

Frank Worth http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?b=4121
Cat Torso http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?b=5109
Neneh Cherry http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?b=4246
Django Reinhardt http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?b=4838
Melachrino Strings http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?b=4952
Populous With Short Stories http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?b=4668
Giant Skyflower Band http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?b=4180

This feature will be live in the next week or so (it is currently under development and so not visible at the moment)....

Django Reinhardt was from Belgium (although he did most his music in France).

Neneh Cherry is from Sweden.

I believe George Melachrino called his band Melachrino Strings occasionally. If that is the one it would be the UK.

Giant Skyflower Band is from San Francisco, USA.

Populous is the artist name of Italian artist Andrea Mangia. Short Stories is the alter ego of American Mike McGuire.

Did some research and found a Frank Worth who composed music for movies and TV shows at the time (Bride of Frankenstein, Roy Rogers Show, etc.), but can't verify for certain it is the same guy. If it is he was American (born in Hungary and emigrated at a young age).

Cat Torso has me stumped.

Frank Worth was from Hungary but I don't believe he had anything to do with Plan 9 from Outer Space. Edward D Wood Jr produced and Directed the film. The Music Department for that movie was:
Gordon Zahler .... music supervisor
Emil Ascher .... composer: stock music (uncredited).
