Rachel Stamp is an British glam rock band formed in London 1994 to fight what it saw as bland, conformist music.
Rachel Stamp have gained a cult following across the United Kingdom and beyond through constant touring and a string of critically acclaimed independent releases. Their debut album, Hymns For Strange Children was released in 2000 and was followed by Oceans Of Venus two years later. As of 2005 the band is recording its third effort for release early 2006.
Current band members are David Ryder-Prangley (Bass/Vocals), Will Crewdson (Lead Guitar) and Shaheena Dax (Keyboards).
In 1994 lead vocalist and bassist, David Ryder-Prangley, met up with guitarist Will Crewdson at a Vanessa Paradis show and quickly formed the band, finding like-minded individuals in the form of Cliff Harris (drums) and Mike Rowe (keyboards). Impressing the management of WEA records with their scratchy, lo-fi demo tape (featuring raw cuts of “Hey Hey Michael You’re Really Fantastic”, “Pop Singer” and “Stealing Clothes From Shelley Barrett”) the band were soon offered a deal. But sadly for Prangley & Co. it was doomed from the start.
“We were a band wearing make-up when nobody else was” recalls Ryder-Prangley of their brief dalliance with a major recording label,
“and we made an album which was quite experimental because we didn’t want to sound like anyone else - and it totally freaked the record company out.”
The band’s contract was cancelled without even releasing the album the band had recorded.

David is a splendid man. His solo stuff is gorgeous, I've seen him with The Witches twice, and both times it sent shivers down my spine. It's pretty different to Rachel Stamp, but equally as good. http://www.myspace.com/davidryderprangleyandthewitches
