Birmingham, United Kingdom (1995 – present)
Space age pop collagists Broadcast formed in Birmingham, England, in 1995; comprised of vocalist Trish Keenan, guitarist Tim Felton, bassist James Cargill, keyboardist Roj Stevens, and drummer Steve Perkins, the quintet came together out of a shared affection for the psychedelic cult band the United States of America, a primary influence on their subsequent work as a group. Debuting in 1996 with the Wurlitzer Jukebox label single “Accidentals,” Broadcast immediately won favorable comparisons to Stereolab for their sample-heavy, analog, synth-driven sound; the comparisons continued when they signed to Stereolab’s Duophonic Super 45s imprint for their next effort, “Living Room.” After the icily atmospheric Book Lovers EP, the group moved to Warp Records to release 1997’s Work and Non-Work, a compilation of their existing singles tracks. The much-anticipated full-length The Noise Made by People finally appeared in early 2000 and the Extended Play Two EP was issued that fall. Ever the studio perfectionists, fans had to wait until 2003 to hear any new material from the band, when the Pendulum EP arrived that spring and Haha Sound appeared that summer. In fall 2005, Broadcast — pared down to the duo of Keenan and Cargill — issued the America’s Boy single and Tender Buttons full-length.

Yeah, the intro part was pretty special. A treat for the eyes and ears! Then they launched into Corporeal! Quite a bit of new stuff too. What more could you want??? The only bummer for me was that I had no money left at the end to buy the tour only stuff. I've always wanted one of those Microtronics CDs............

Master sound-scapes and eerily entrancing melodies. I insist, their shows must equal their music.

I'm not as much of a fan of Tender Buttons. A bit too quirky for my tastes in most spots, a good album but I'd prefer less synthetic drums. Just my opinion.

They did get a bit carried away with the hauntology/Witch Cults stuff last night, but when they launched into "Corporeal," all was (nearly) right again.
