| | Formed from the ashes of lo-fi band The Throat (with a single released on Acuarela Records) and the almost forgotten surf-punks The Woodies, Union Wireless was an English indie rock band that tried to combine live music spontaneity with a more treated studio sound. Taking the melody (the simpler the better) as departure point, combined with studied, constant rhythms, the results can easily become 14-minute improvisations (following the path of Can and krautrock, not Frank Zappa’s) or short tunes of melancholic pop.
Members:
- Ben Morris : vocals, keyboard and clarinet
- Gonzalo Vina: guitars
- Steve Gillard: viola and keyboards
- Pete Flood: drums, percussion and vibraphone |
