- Post subject: Bands from where you come from?
|
Just out of interest what famous bands/artists come from where you come from, like the same city/county etc?
One half of Tears For Fears (Curt Smith) went to my secondary school. The Propellerheads also come from Bath.
Bath is a 10 minute trainride to Bristol where I spent a lot of time as a kid and still do now. The home of trip hop and the likes of Massive Attack, Portishead and Tricky.
Also I know that Van Morrison and Midge Ure both live in Bath, but they didn't come from here, clutching at straws now...
Somerset and the South West are not exactly hotbeds of music but what about where you come from?

There might be some big bands or artists from the middle of England. Maybe?

Ah well... I come from the land of Nana Mouskouri and Demis Rousos 
On a more positive note, Vangelis comes from the same place.
And so does Hadjidakis (look him up)
And a lot of interesting stuff you probably haven't heard before

The Chameleons
Dutch Uncles
The Ting Tings
Van Der Graaf Generator
New Order
World of Twist

Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders (my dad went to school with Wayne )
The Fall
Freddie and the Dreamers
The Chemical Brothers
The Charlatans
Herman's Hermits
James
Doves
Badly Drawn Boy
The Bee Gees (just for Harkan )
And loads more... It is not quite so easy for my elected home of New Zealand, but will give that some thought too.
