James
Any James fans? I listened to them a lot in the early nineties, especially during altered states that were very conducive to that Madchester\Hacienda sound. Wah Wah is one hell of a trippy album thanks to Brian Eno. Totally forgot they existed during the mid and late nineties then really got interested in them again when my wife (then fiance) two years ago brought up the name. Tim Booth (singer) is actually from her Mum's hometown of Bradford.
Got to see them in Oxford when we were in England last Spring and going to see them this Monday in Denver. Could not believe we got the chance to see them since they broke up four years prior and just got back together and made the Hey Ma album. Just wondering if any other old fogies on the board had a place for James in their hearts. They are an incredible live band and currently on a small US tour, http://www.wearejames.com/live/
One of the funnier things about the band is the success of their opening acts. Radiohead, Nirvana, The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and Coldplay all opened for James before they hit it big only to go on to more success than James themselves.
