Shed Seven

Shed Seven are an English indie rock band from York and were one of the groups that contributed to the Britpop music scene that evolved during the 1990s, yet never received the degree of mainstream success achieved by bands such as Oasis and Blur. They formed in 1990 and originally comprised Rick Witter (vocals), Joe Johnson (guitar and keyboards, later replaced by Paul Banks), Tom Gladwin (bass) and Alan Leach (drums). They belonged to the post-Smiths wave of UK musicians such as the Sundays and Marion, with a sound relying heavily on complex guitar arpeggios in a minor or tonic key and wailing vocals. At the height of their popularity between 1994 and 1999 they had a number of top 40 singles and four top 20 albums in the UK. The band officially broke up in 2003, but announced their reformation for a greatest hits tour in mid 2007.

Weak vocals, cracking musicians though. Felt the singer had had maybe a couple too many the night before, he turned it on for the bands' most well known tracks but was flat for much of the set.
