There are two bands with the name The Charlatans.
1960s: A US psychedelic rock band from San Francisco.
1990s-present: A UK indie rock band from Manchester.
- - - - -
The Charlatans (known as Charlatans UK in the USA to avoid confusion with the 1960’s group of the same name) were originally formed in Birmingham, England by bassist Martin Blunt, who recruited fellow West Midlanders; Rob Collins (keyboards), Jon Brookes (drums), John Baker (also known as Day) (guitar) plus vocalist Baz Ketley.
- Early days (1990-91) -
Former Electric Crayons singer Tim Burgess (from Northwich) replaced Ketley before the release of The Charlatans debut single “Indian Rope” in 1990 on the band’s own Dead Dead Good Records label. It proved an indie hit and the group soon found a major label, Beggars Banquet off-shoot Situation Two, in time for the release of The Only One I Know which reached the Top 10 in the UK singles chart.
A further single, Then, and debut album Some Friendly, were released later that year to great commercial and critical acclaim.
- Line-up change / Lack of success (1991-94) -
Baker left the band after 1991’s Over Rising single to be replaced by Mark Collins (no relation to Rob), who made his debut on another non-album single, “Me. In Time”.
The band brought in maverick producer Flood for their poorly-received second album Between 10th and 11th (named after the address of the New York Marque, site of the group’s first U.S. gig) which failed to hit the top twenty in the UK. The follow-up album, Up to Our Hips, was hailed as a return to form, and reached number 8 in the UK albums chart.

Entire NA tour cancelled - right from the horse's mouth, on the official site: http://www.thecharlatans.net/news.php. This sucks, I was going to see them in London in a tiny venue with probably 20 other fans! Please reschedule soon! Maybe come with Kasabian? :)
