Band, GB
Rock
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
