Pale Saints were a British alternative rock band formed in 1987 by Ian Masters (bass/vocals), Graeme Naysmith (guitar), and Chris Cooper (drums) in Leeds, England.〔Strong, Martin C. (2003) ''The Great Indie Discography'', Canongate, ISBN 1-84195-335-0, p. 907-908〕 The group began as a jangly indie pop band, influenced by Primal Scream's early sound. ==History== By the time they recorded their first EP, ''Barging Into the Presence of God'' released in 1989, the band went into a direction that displayed a mix of Ian Masters' choirboy-like vocals along with dark atmospheric and noisy pop tunes. Ashley Horner from Edsel Auctioneer briefly joined the band on guitar in the same year.〔 The band was signed to 4AD Records records after their first London show, by the label's chief Ivo Watts-Russell.〔 The group's first album, ''The Comforts of Madness'', was released in 1990, and reached the top 40 of the UK Albums Chart.〔 The album's tracks were produced by John Fryer and Gil Norton.〔Kellman, Andy "(Pale Saints Biography )", ''Allmusic'', Macrovision Corporation〕 The album includes a cover version of "Fell From the Sun" by Opal. In late 1990, Meriel Barham, the original vocalist of Lush, joined the band as second guitarist and vocalist.〔〔 Barham contributed backing vocals and guitars to the ''Half-Life'' EP, then joined permanently for the Nancy Sinatra cover "Kinky Love", which gave the band a minor hit single as part of ''Flesh Balloon'' EP. In 1992 the band recorded their second full-length album, ''In Ribbons'', which was produced by Hugh Jones.〔 Ian Masters left the band in 1993.〔 Former Heart Throbs bassist Colleen Browne joined afterwards.〔 Sticking with producer Hugh Jones, the group released the EP ''Fine Friend'' in mid-1994 followed by their third album ''Slow Buildings''.〔 The group toured Europe and the United States in late autumn of 1994. Their final studio recording was a version of "Jersey Girl" for the Tom Waits tribute album ''Step Right Up''. Meriel Barham departed in September 1995 and the group eventually disbanded in 1996.〔 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「Pale Saints」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
