Alpinestars (band)
Alpinestars was an electronic rock duo formed in 1999 in Manchester by Richard Woolgar and Glyn Thomas. History The Beginnings (1995–1999) Richard Woolgar and Glyn Thomas met each other in 1995, as a result of being in separate bands that shared the same rehearsal space. They found they had more in common with each other than with their respective bands, so they broke away to form their own ephemeral electro group, which they named "Maxim". Although Maxim never produced anything, it brought Woolgar and Thomas to the attention of the promoter of a local Manchester club. They were invited to create an hour-long set to perform live within a week. They took the name "Alpinestars" after a mountain bike Thomas owned and proceeded to meet the challenge. The performance was a success and Alpinestars signed with Faith and Hope Records. The EPs (1999–2000) The band debuted in August 1999 with a limited edition EP titled "Las Vegas." Its third track, "Interlaken," became the most re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
