Pimlico

Pimlico, one of London's best kept secrets. Touted by this very site as one of the best bands and songwriters of the mid 90's Britpop scene. Guitarist and songwriter Pete Twyman, bass player Andy Lewis and drummer Miles Chapman joined forces with singer Wesley Doyle in 1994. The band came up with a very English sound full of great melodies and a summer guitar sound. The"Queenie" EP received huge amounts of airplay and became an indie/Britpop classic. "Glummer Quartet" followed early in 1996, and later that year "Bubbles" was released all on the Tiny Vinyl Japan. "Housebound" was the last album the boys did and although Britpop was on it's way out and the bands tweaked new sound, it still was packed full of classic British Pop tunes. The band never split just stopped gigging, Andy Lewis went on to make a name for himself as a Top DJ and bass player with Spearmint and Paul Weller. Read more on Last.fm.
