Wishplants - Circus EP
WISHPLANTS
Circus EP
1993 China Records
Notes :
Indie band the Wishplants had been playing together for some
time in their native Northamptonshire, England, as a trio of Ed Gilmour
(guitar), James Fitzgerald (drums) and Paul Simpson (bass), before
cementing the line-up with the addition of vocalist Saul in March 1992.
Taking their name from an episode of science fiction television
programme Star Trek, they played a few shows before entering a local
studio to record demos with Wonder Stuff / Neds Atomic Dustbin producer
Simon Efemey. It was he who introduced the band to their manager and set
their career in motion by inviting the Wonder Stuff along to see them.
The result was the support slot on that band’s Scottish tour, before
they had played 20 shows under their own auspices. Saul’s charismatic
performances soon attracted the attention of the UK indie press,
prompting the New Musical Express to describe him as ‘clearly one leg
short of a full pair of trousers’. Despite record company interest the
group elected to record an EP, Circus Rain, with Efemey, released in
February 1993 on China Records. Afterwards they embarked on their first
UK tour proper with Power Of Dreams, taking in both the Phoenix and
Glastonbury Festivals. The Tortoiseshell EP followed in July to further
strong reaction, prefacing a well-received debut album ''Coma'' in October.
