Artist Biography by Michael Sutton
After David Keenan (guitar, vocals) departed from 18
Wheeler in 1994, he formed the Telstar Ponies in Glasgow, Scotland,
with singer Rachel Devine, Gavin Laird (guitar, vocals), and former
Teenage Fanclub drummer Brendan O'Hare. In 1995, the Telstar Ponies
released their first album, In the Space of a Few Minutes. The Telstar
Ponies were originally viewed by some critics as a weak knock-off of
Teenage Fanclub. However, by their second LP, 1996's Voices From the New
Music, the band had become more experimental, not bound by any genre
boundaries. The group's intense live performances, often involving
improvisation, helped inspire post-rock acts such as Mogwai and Godspeed
You Black Emperor!. But when O'Hare and Laird left the band in 1997,
they stopped recording; instead, they unleashed side projects like
Phantom Engineer, lonecop, Macrocosmica, Fiend, and Rainspies. The group
reunited in 1999 and added bassist Raymond Prior to their lineup.
