Biography

1) Company, formed by guitarist Derek Bailey in 1976, is described by as “an association of improvising players – not a fixed group but an assortment of musicians who come together in various combinations from time to time. The first Company Week was in 1977 and, with a couple of exceptions, was an annual event in London until 1995. Since then, Company events have also taken place in many other parts of the world, in Hakushu (Japan) in Chattanooga, New York, Marseille and various other places.”

2) Brian Hannon and Kelly Grant, former Catholic grade school friends, both moved to Charleston after graduating from college, eventually reconnected and started playing music together under the name Company. Throughout their journey, the duo experienced a tour with Band of Horses, SXSW, an EP release and the recent release of their debut album, Holy City. Tragically, after the album release, Kelly Grant unexpectedly passed away.

3) “Company” is also a common, albeit incorrect, tag often associated with various broadway shows. If this non-artist appears in your charts, do last.fm and yourself a favor. Fix your tags by putting the actual artist name in the artist field. Not the show name, not “Company”, but the actual artist name.

4) Dubstep artist from southampton. small time.

    Yeah, they certainly didn't get 276,824 plays from 33,634 listeners. Maybe 10% of that? I was listening to the original Broadway recording of Hair, not to them obviously.

    Same with Into the Fire (Reprise) from The Scarlet Pimpernel. I've had to change it to the Original Broadway Cast Recording. It's a pain but the information isn't coming in correctly to the online and windows media / ipod players, so a lot of changes have have had to be made concerning track and artist names

    This is probably confusing to a lot of people. In most Broadway musical soundtracks, such as You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, a song by the whole cast is refered to as by Company.
