Local Girls

LOCAL GIRLS PRESS RELEASE 24 09 08 4 hand picked from a bunch of indie pop wannabes, their disillusioned road crew and loyal fan base by a member of the music industry elite: 7 name changes, a £10,000 expense account & a failed press junket to the far east later, the arse falls out of the music industry. With the sound of a bullet ricochetting off their ex-manager’s skull still fresh in the ears of a traumatised typing pool the unnamed band repaired to the less fashionable end of London to choose the name Local Girls rip off the best bits of the B52s, Ramones & Adam’s Original Ants.

Please excuse my knowledge of the late 90's Star, there is little information about this artist online.

Loop

1) Loop was a South London band founded in 1986 by Robert Hampson and his then wife, Bex. Loop's sound was characterized by strong krautrock and avant-garde influences in addition to the minimalist mayhem of The Stooges and MC5. Their songs were almost uniformly harsh and repetitive, with indecipherable vocals buried under layers of noisy guitar riffs and metronomic drumming. Some of the records featured covers of Suicide, The Pop Group and Can as bonus tracks.

Bleach

Bleach is the name of more than one band; There is a blistering all-girl Japanese rock trio, an American rock group (see below), as well as a British group (see below). They all redirect here. == Bleach (JP) == Bleach (alternatively called Bleach03 or Bleachmobile) was an all-female punk trio from Okinawa, Japan. The members included, Kanna on guitar and vocals, Miya on bass and Sayuri on drums. Kanna was the primary lyricist. Citing artistic differences, Bleach disbanded on June 10, 2009, less than a month before the release of their final album "bleach stone."
