Intastella
Intastella were an alternative rock band from Manchester who evolved from the earlier band Laugh. They had four top-75 hits in the UK during the 1990s.
==History==
Laugh formed in 1985 with a line-up of Martin Wright (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Ian Bendelow (guitar), Martin Mittler (bass guitar), and Spencer Birtwistle (drums, later a member of The Fall).〔Strong, Martin C. (1999) ''The Great Alternative & Indie Discography'', Canongate, ISBN 0-86241-913-1, p. 362〕 Their debut release was "Take Your Time Yeah!", a flexi-disc included with ''Debris'' magazine in December 1985, with three further singles following prior to their only album, ''Sensation No. 1'' (1988).〔 The band had two placings on the UK Independent Chart with "Paul McCartney" (which featured Smiths guitarist Craig Gannon)〔Larkin, Colin (1998) ''The Virgin Encyclopedia of Indie & New Wave'', Virgin Books, ISBN 0753502313, p. 242〕 (#44) and "Time to Lose It" (#19), and recorded two sessions for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show.〔Lazell, Barry (1998) ''Indie Hits 1980-1989'', Cherry Red Books, ISBN 0-9517206-9-4, p. 131〕〔(Laugh ) at the BBC's ''Keeping It Peel'' site, retrieved 2010-03-22〕
In 1990 the band parted ways with guitarist Bendelow and discovered singer Stella Grundy and dancer Lil' Anthony, changing their sound to a more dance-orientated style and changing their name to Intastella.〔 They signed to MCA Records and hit the lower reaches of the UK Singles Chart with their first release, "Dream Some Paradise".〔 Two follow-up singles fared similarly, and in late 1991 the band's debut album, ''Intastella and the Family of People'' was issued.〔 The band's momentum was lost after Grundy broke her arm in a motorcycle accident, and they were dropped by MCA, returning in 1993 on the Planet-3 label with the ''Drifter'' EP, on which they worked with Shaun Ryder.〔 The band's biggest hit came in 1995, with "The Night" reaching #60 in the UK, preceding their second album, ''What You Gonna Do'' featuring Manchester Harpist Katie Brett on the track "I'll Be Forever".〔 Further singles followed during 1996 and 1997 but none repeated their earlier success. One of these, "Grandmaster", was used on the soundtrack of the 1997 film ''Love in Paris''. A final album, ''Nuphonia'', was released in 1997.
Grundy later emerged with a new band, Stella & the Doggs.
