Oxford, England (1986 – 1988)

Talulah Gosh was an indie pop/twee pop group which formed in Oxford, England in 1986. The band originally consisted of Elizabeth Price (vocals), Amelia Fletcher (guitar, vocals), Peter Momtchiloff (guitar), Rob Pursey (bass) and Matthew Fletcher (drums). Pursey left in early 1986 and was replaced by Chris Scott. Price left in 1987 and was replaced by Eithne Farry. The band split in 1988, with the Fletchers, Momtchiloff and Pursey forming the seminal twee pop act Heavenly in 1989.

A British indie rock band associated with twee pop, who formed in the eighties. Several members later became Heavenly. Ultimately a major influence on early riot grrrl and countless indie-pop groups.

Avatars of the British twee-pop movement, Talulah Gosh formed in late 1986 when economics student Amelia Fletcher and struggling artist Elizabeth Price met at an Oxford area club; both were wearing Pastels badges, and their common love for indie rock prompted them to immediately found their own group. Originally intending to form a post-punk variation on 1960s-era girl groups, neither of the aspiring vocalists had the time or energy to find compatible female musicians, so they instead recruited Fletcher’s 15-year-old brother Mathew on drums, her record-store clerk boyfriend Peter Momtchiloff on guitar, and Chris Scott on bass; Rob Pursey, who rounded out the initial Talulah Gosh roster, exited after only three shows.

“Talulah Gosh” by Talulah Gosh is not “Talulah Gosh” by Talulah Gosh. It is “The Girl With the Strawberry Hair” by Talulah Gosh. Please fix this.

the-earle - Why did Backwash cost you so much? It's in print and should be standard price. You shoulda bought it directly from K.

For the curious: the stripped down version of I Can't Get No Satisfaction (Thank God) that timahall mentioned and last.fm sometimes plays is actually by the Softies who are most lovely.
