The Bitter Springs
The Bitter Springs are an English rock group from the London suburb of Teddington. The band evolved from Last Party, who had formed in 1985, with the name changing in 1996. The band have released two albums as Last Party, and six as The Bitter Springs and also played with Vic Godard as Subway Sect, on and off for nine years.
==History==
Last Party formed in 1985, although their history stretches back to the band No Trains At The Bay, which the members formed at school in 1978, and who had a song called "The Last Party".〔 One of their earliest gigs was in support of The Sound, their original drummer Steve Infield being a housemate of The Sound's bass player Graham Bailey.〔Clarkson, John (2007) "(Bitter Springs : Interview )", ''Penny Black Music'', 7 January 2007〕 They released their debut album on their own Harvey label the following year. They were the support act at The Stone Roses' first London gig, at the Greyhound in Fulham, and were favourites with John Peel, recording two sessions for his BBC Radio 1 show, one on 1987 and a second in 1989.〔McFadden, Lee (2006) "(IN PROFILE: The Bitter Springs )", ''The Morning Star'', 7 January 2006〕〔(Last Party ) at the BBC's ''Keeping it Peel'' site〕
In 1995, the band members at the time (singer Simon Rivers, bass player Daniel Ashkenazy, Kim Ashford, and Neil Palmer) decided on a new name, The Bitter Springs, changing their name "in the hope that journalists who had ignored the Last Party would give us another listen".〔 The debut release under this new name, the ''Addison Brothers'' EP, featured Vic Godard, and the Bitter Springs enjoyed a long association with Godard, acting as his backing band, the Subway Sect, for nine years, also contributing to studio recordings including Godard's ''Blackpool'' album, where Godard and the Bitter Springs provide musical backing to lyrics by Irvine Welsh.〔〔 The Bitter Springs themselves have released six studio albums, including ''Benny Hill's Wardrobe'', which was "album of the month" in ''MOJO'' and rated at 4.5 out of 5 by ''Melody Maker'',〔Sladeckova, Olga (2003) "(Bitter Springs : Interview with Simon Rivers )", ''Penny Black Music'', 12 October 2003〕〔 the latest being ''That Sentimental Slush'' in 2006, described as "an , exuberant bomb blast of an album".〔McFadden, Lee (2006) "(Life's auteurs - ALBUM: The Bitter Springs - That Sentimental Slush )", ''The Morning Star'', 18 February 2006 〕〔McFadden, Lee (2006) "(Exploding with raw emotion - ALBUM: The Bitter Springs - Poor Trace )", ''The Morning Star'', 3 November 2006 〕〔Clarkson, John (2006) "(Bitter Springs : That Sentimental Slush )", ''Penny Black Music'', 22 October 2006〕 ''Allmusic's'' Stewart Mason described the album as "entirely typical of the band's output, showing both their strengths and weaknesses", and noted Rivers' "wry sense of humor and an eye for romantic futility".〔Mason, Stewart "(The Bitter Springs ''That sentimental Slush'' Review )", ''Allmusic'', Macrovision Corporation〕 Lyricist and singer Simon Rivers has also performed solo, the first time in 2007 supporting The Band of Holy Joy.〔Palmer, Neil (2007) "(Simon Rivers : 12 Bar Club, London, 1/5/2007 )", ''Penny Black Music'', 15 April 2007〕
