The Charlatans are a band of title fighters. Consistently the
boldest, coolest, heftiest, best-looking contenders around, there is
no doubt they have earned the right to be regarded as one of the
best British acts of the last decade. Now, with the upcoming release
of their first DVD, Just Lookin? 1990-1997 and B sides collection,
Songs From The Other Side, The Charlatans are proving they can still
pack a punch. Backtracking through the years their story goes like
this ...
The band - Jagger-lipped singer Tim Burgess from Manchester,
guitarist Jon Baker, powerhouse keyboard player Rob Collins, bassist
Martin Blunt and drummer Jon Brookes -all from the Midlands - form
in 1989 and are instantly affiliated to the "Madchester" scene after
the twin-headed Mondays / Roses beast turns the music world on its
head. Based far more in (at that time uncool-as-fuck) mod territory,
The Charlatans build a fervent following that sees their debut
single, Indian Rope (released on their own Dead Dead Good label) go
on to sell 20,000 copies with very little press or airplay. After
signing to Beggars Banquet they release the Top Ten single The Only
One I Know, an instant classic and the summer anthem of 1990. The
follow-up, Then, and the debut album, Some Friendly which enters the
charts at Number One, are to many the first indications that The
Charlatans have the mark of greatness.
As the band begin work on the follow-up, guitarist Jon Baker downs
tools and leaves. He is replaced by, born and bred Mancunian, Mark
Collins. Within a couple of months, Martin Blunt suffers a nervous
breakdown. When it emerges, the second Charlatans album, Between
10th and 11th, is an understandably moody set of songs. Although not
well received at the time, the album now sounds odd, out of time and
exciting. Two singles, Weirdo and Tremelo Song, keep the band in the
public eye but fail to move the masses.
Prior to work beginning on the third album, the boys find themselves
at the mercy of a totally unforeseen event; Rob Collins is arrested
and later convicted for his involvement in an armed robbery. But,
rising to the occasion, the rest of the band crack on with
recording, Rob?s parts being put down before he went to jail or
added after his release. Then in early 1994, the aptly-titled, Up To
Our Hips, is issued. Ironically, it proves to be their first
complete album: a mod-ish pop record featuring the terrace anthem
that never was, Can't Get Out Of Bed, the proto-trip-hop of Patrol
and huge live favorite, I Never Want An Easy Life If Me And He Were
Ever To Get There.
That summer, after a handful of feverish British gigs, Tim is asked
to sing on Life Is Sweet by long-time fans, The Chemical Brothers.
It sees the light of day almost a year later on the Chemicals? debut
album, Exit Planet Dust and marks the beginning of an enduring
friendship. Back on top at last, The Charlatans head off to the
studio to make a new record.
The summer of 1995 is a blur of festivals and the payoff comes when
the band's fourth album, The Charlatans, takes them back to the
Number One spot. The next day, nursing proper hangovers, the band
record their contribution to the Warchild / Help album, the mighty
Time For Livin', a collaboration with The Chemical Brothers. The
combination of Tom Chemical and Tim Comical results in the best
track on an outstanding record. It is the sound of a band on a roll.
It rocks. Come the end of the year, The Charlatans embark on a
mammoth British tour, doing the usual - caning it, blowing roofs
off, etc. etc.
After a short layoff, the band started recording their fifth album
at Rockfield and then at Monnow Valley in Monmouth. In July 1996,
one month before the release of One To Another, the first fruit of
these sessions, Rob Collins is tragically killed in a car accident
near the studio. An untimely waste, Rob's death deprived the music
world of a maverick genius and one of the last true rock 'n'
rollers. Many expected The Charlatans to fold but the band,
obviously grieving, issued a defiant press statement that ended;
?There will be no change. We are rock. We?ve lost our mate.?
Another irony: One To Another is the band's biggest hit to date,
entering the chart at Number Three.
After Rob's funeral, the band reassembled to play two gigs with
keyboard player Martin Duffy from Primal Scream on a temporary free
transfer. Supporting Oasis at Knebworth the band look unsurprisingly
uncomfortable but deliver the goods. A week later at the Chelmsford
festival they are back on form, oozing cocksure confidence, and
slaying the opposition. They destroy all monsters.
After all that, Tellin' Stories emerges. A huge forward-looking rock
'n' roll record, it is variously described as being the midway point
between Let It Bleed, Searching For The Young Soul Rebels and
"sounding like a big bag of spanners" (© Martin Blunt 1997).
Preceded by another Top Five single, North Country Boy, a classic
slice of Charlatans country pop (previous reference point Here Comes
A Soul Saver), the album takes no prisoners. Self-produced with help
from long-time sidekick Dave Charles (alongside Tom Chemical and
Richard Marsh from "carboottechnodiscoboogie" stars Bentley Rhythm
Ace) is the kind of record The Charlatans always threatened to make.
Tellin' Stories breaks a few more records for the band. It enters
the UK Charts at Number One - making The Charlatans the only band to
have had three Number One albums in the 90s. 1997 is undoubtedly
their most successful year so far. Check this out: on top of a third
Number One album (now platinum) they headline at the Phoenix and T
In The Park festivals, complete a sell-out tour and, to round it all
off, perform to capacity crowds at the Nynex Center in Manchester
and the London Arena. To coincide, the wistful, elegiac Tellin'
Stories is released as the last single the band will make for
Beggars Banquet; 1998 sees them embark on a new worldwide deal with
Universal.
The following year, the Melting Pot compilation is released through
Beggars Banquet and goes Top Five. Testament to the band?s
contribution to British music, the album is compiled by the boys
themselves and, in typically willful fashion, they avoid turning it
into just another singles collection. Instead of the hits alone, it
features enduring live favorites, rare alternative mixes and some of
the tunes, which have a special meaning for the band themselves.
So it goes on, with The Charlatans releasing two albums to date
through Universal, claiming the double prize of Outstanding
Contribution to Music and Radio One Evening Session Of The Year at
this year?s NME Awards and lining up a string of live shows and
festival appearances for the summer. Add to this the release of
their DVD compilation, Just Lookin? 1990-1997 and Songs From The
Other Side, the B-sides collection, and you?ve got one hell of a
story. Long may it continue.

MORAL DiSCLAiMER: We are very aware of the fact that our releases
contribute to the growing sale losses of record companies.
Unfortunately our style primarily targets small, independant labels
that need sales to survive.
For these reasons we ask you not to distribute this release on public
sites or P2P tools; if more and more receive their music from the net,
artists and labels will have to face even less sells than nowadays.
Please do not consider this release as a substitute to the original, but
only as a way to check out and learn about new music.
We absolutely do not approve of DJs or other individuals that earn
money from pirated music - Don't let them get their hands on it!
By buying the albums you like you disperse the guilt we feel by
releasing this music - Enjoy the music and be fair with the artists!
YOUR support is required to keep them financially alive and producing!
ATTENTiON: There is currently a 0day group operating under the name "AmoK"!
These individuals (mostly re-releasing cracks for the "webscene") are
in NO WAY releated with AMOK and we expect 0day staff to nuke their
releases as "fake" wherever uploaded!
