Cardiff, Wales (1978 – 1980, 2007 – present)
Young Marble Giants were a post-punk band from Cardiff, Wales, a trio formed in 1978. They consisted of Alison Statton (vocals), Stuart Moxham (guitar) and Phillip Moxham (bass), occasionally joined by keyboardist Peter Joyce.
They made one great album, Colossal Youth (1980), on Rough Trade, recorded very cheaply often using the first take. Extremely low-tech drum machine effects and home made synthesizers featured.
Alison Statton and Philip Moxham later worked as Weekend. Stuart Moxham formed The Gist. Statton also formed the duo Devine & Statton with ex-Ludus guitarist Ian Devine.
The original line-up reformed in 2007 (with Andrew Moxham on electronic drumkit) and has played two gigs in 2007. They may make a new record in 2008.

The dilemma I have with this band is... do I really wish they put out more material? Yes, their library of work is short, but great. There's something about that sound you just can't touch. I would hate for their perfect (imo) record to be tarnished by mediocre work.
