Kingmaker were a British indie rock group, founded in Kingston upon Hull in 1990. The group was formed during their gap year by school friends Loz Hardy and Myles Howell. They placed an advertisement for a drummer, and recruited John Andrew who was an ex-travelling puppeteer and considerably older; he has also worked for the BBC as an engineer. ==Early recording career== The band began playing and touring, before making their recording debut with "The Celebrated Working Man" EP. After this they signed up to Chrysalis Records and released a second EP, entitled "Waterproof" in 1991. Their debut album ''Eat Yourself Whole'' was well received, and spent three weeks in the UK Albums Chart, reaching a high of number twenty nine in October 1991. In addition, they released the single, "Eat Yourself Whole", which, despite sharing the name of their album, did not appear on the original UK version. It reached the Top Twenty of the UK Singles Chart. During 1992 they were supported on tour by a pre-''Pablo Honey'', Radiohead. On 29 August that year they appeared on the bill alongside Babes in Toyland, Beastie Boys and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds at the Pukkelpop festival near Hasselt, Belgium. They then landed an American recording contract with Chrysalis. Kingmaker's second album, ''Sleepwalking'', was released in 1993. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kingmaker (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
