THE KOOKS-SEASIDE


Do you want to go to the seaside?
I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go
I fell in love at the seaside
I handled my charm with time and slight of hand

Do you want to go to the seaside?
I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go
I fell in love at the seaside
She handled her charm with time and slight of hand, and oh

But I'm just trying to love you
In any kind of way
But I find it hard to love you girl
When you're far away
Away

Do you want to go to the seaside?
I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go
But I fell in love on the seaside
On the seaside
In the seaside

Muse

Muse are a popular Brit Award-winning English rock band formed while at Teignmouth Community College in Teignmouth, Devon in 1992. Their idiosyncratic style is a blend of alternative rock, electronica, classical music, heavy metal and progressive rock. The band is famed for its energetic live performances (winning numerous Best Live Act awards) and frontman Matthew Bellamy's eccentric interests in global conspiracy, extraterrestrial life, theology and the apocalypse. Muse consists of Matthew Bellamy, Dominic Howard, and Chris Wolstenholme. Muse have sold over 7 million albums worldwide. As of the release of their fourth album, Morgan Nicholls assists the band during live performances, providing additional keyboards, samples and backing vocals. He previously played bass in a few live performances due to Wolstenholme getting injured.[1]

History


(1992-1997) Formation and early years

The members of Muse were in separate bands at Teignmouth Community College in the early 1990s. The formation of Muse began after 14 year old Matthew Bellamy successfully auditioned for the part of guitarist in Dominic Howard's band. They were left with a dilemma when their second guitarist Phys Vandit decided to leave, so they asked close friend Chris Wolstenholme to learn to play the bass guitar. The band changed names a number of times after this, cycling through names such as Gothic Plague, Carnage Mayhem, Fixed Penalty, and Rocket Baby Dolls, before adopting the name Muse (the chronology of these names is unclear, as Muse has given contradictory accounts in various interviews).

In 1994, under the name Altostrata and with a Gothic/glam image, the group won a local battle of the bands contest, trashing their gear in the process (they were "the only real rock band" there).[2][3] Shortly after this win the band decided to forgo university and take on a living as professional musicians. They changed their name to Muse and started playing concerts in local clubs like the Cavern in Exeter.

(1998-2000) First EPs and Showbiz

After a few years building a fan base in London, they played their first gigs in London and Manchester. The band had a significant meeting with Dennis Smith, the owner of Sawmills, a recording studio in a converted water mill in Cornwall, S.W. England.

This meeting led to their first proper recordings and the release of a self-titled E.P. on Sawmill's in-house Dangerous label. Their second E.P., the Muscle Museum EP, attracted the attention of influential British music journalist Steve Lamacq and the weekly British music publication NME. Dennis Smith subsequently co-founded the music production company Taste Media especially for Muse (the band stayed with Taste Media for their first 3 albums). This was fortunate for the band, as it allowed them to preserve the individuality of their sound in the early stages of their career.

Despite the success and acclaim of their second E.P., British record companies were reluctant to back Muse, and many sections of the music industry were concerned that their sound was too similar to that of Radiohead (circa The Bends). However, the American Maverick Records arranged a number of gigs in the United States before signing them at the end of 1998. Upon their return from America, Taste Media arranged deals for Muse with various record labels in Europe and Australia. John Leckie, who had produced the aforementioned The Bends, the Stone Roses, "Weird Al" Yankovic and The Verve, was brought in to produce the band's first record, Showbiz. The album showcased the band's aggressive style, and featured a number of lyrical references to the difficulties they had trying to establish themselves in Teignmouth.[4]

The release of this album was followed by tour support slots for the Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers in the United States. 1999 and 2000 saw Muse playing major festivals in Europe and gigs in Australia, accumulating a considerable fan base in Western Europe.

The Departure


The Departure is an English rock band from Northampton, that formed in January 2004. Their debut album, Dirty Words, was released 13 June 2005 by Parlophone.

History

The Departure formed in January 2004 after initially starting life in Northampton as a collaboration between a former Christian commune inhabitant called David Jones (vocals/guitar) and his friend Sam Harvey (guitar)[1]. After recruiting old school associate Ben Winton (bass) and Lee Irons (guitar), the lineup was completed with the addition of Andy Hobson (drums) via a website[2]. Jones described the concept of the band to music webzine Drowned in Sound: "We all got quite excited about the whole ethos of what we’re trying to do, which is to take 1980s reference points and transcend them into modern day, edgy, instant kind of sounds."[3]

The band were signed to Parlophone Records after playing only three gigs and being together for just four months[4], a fact that attracted a not inconsiderable level of derision and scepticism[5]. Touring slots with Placebo, The Tears and a reformed Gang Of Four soon followed as the band sought to build a support base ahead of their first wing of releases. Debut single All Mapped Out was released on August 2nd 2004 and debuted at number 30 on the UK singles chart[6]. Follow up single Be My Enemy emerged on October 18th 2004 and was included on the soundtrack to the FIFA 06 video game.[7]

The Departure released their debut album ‘Dirty Words’, produced by Steve Osborne (who has also worked with New Order, Suede and Happy Mondays), a year after signing to Parlophone. The album was trailed the week before its release by the reissue of the All Mapped Out single, which disappointingly charted lower than the original[8]. The album itself drew a mostly middling response from critics[9], who varied between praising the album for its bleak, futuristic atmosphere[10] and slating it for its perceived superficiality and over-reliance on the music of the 80s for inspiration[11].

A UK tour and festival appearances followed soon after. In early 2006, it was announced that guitarist Lee Irons had left the band citing artistic differences[12]. This news was followed by the announcement that drummer Andy Hobson had decided to leave in late 2006, with the band claiming the split was amicable. He was replaced by the band's original drummer, Simon Alexander. The four-piece are currently working on the follow-up to Dirty Words in Grouse Lodge Studios, Ireland which is expected to see a release in 2007.
