Soul Family Sensation - New Wave

 

 

 

SOUL FAMILY SENSATION

New Wave

1991 One Little Indian

 

Notes :

In 1989, after being introduced to Chicago house music Johnny Male teamed up with Guy Batson and Jhelisa Anderson to begin the project Soul Family Sensation. Their debut album "New Wave" was praised by the British press and with their single "I Don't Even Know If I Should Call You Baby" the band had their first club and chart success.

But despite a bit of interest from the style press and some radio play for "...Baby", Soul Family Sensation bombed. "Burger Habit", the second LP recorded without Jhelisa under the band name of Sensation, disappeared without a trace and the band split. Male - after reputedly writing songs for Jimmy Nail - turned up next in Republica.

Too white for the dance kids, too black for the indie kids, SFS were stuck in a sort of no-mans land in-between.

Wishplants - Circus EP

 

 

 

WISHPLANTS

Circus EP

1993 China Records

 

Notes :

Indie band the Wishplants had been playing together for some time in their native Northamptonshire, England, as a trio of Ed Gilmour (guitar), James Fitzgerald (drums) and Paul Simpson (bass), before cementing the line-up with the addition of vocalist Saul in March 1992. Taking their name from an episode of science fiction television programme Star Trek, they played a few shows before entering a local studio to record demos with Wonder Stuff / Neds Atomic Dustbin producer Simon Efemey. It was he who introduced the band to their manager and set their career in motion by inviting the Wonder Stuff along to see them. The result was the support slot on that band’s Scottish tour, before they had played 20 shows under their own auspices. Saul’s charismatic performances soon attracted the attention of the UK indie press, prompting the New Musical Express to describe him as ‘clearly one leg short of a full pair of trousers’. Despite record company interest the group elected to record an EP, Circus Rain, with Efemey, released in February 1993 on China Records. Afterwards they embarked on their first UK tour proper with Power Of Dreams, taking in both the Phoenix and Glastonbury Festivals. The Tortoiseshell EP followed in July to further strong reaction, prefacing a well-received debut album ''Coma'' in October.
