Sportique Biography by Stewart Mason

After the demise of the popular late-'80s indie band the Razorcuts, singer/guitarist Gregory Webster did time in a couple of minor and short-lived side project bands, the Carousel and Saturn V, in his native Oxford, England, before forming Sportique in 1997. Although the band is otherwise entirely composed of people with other musical duties (keyboardist and singer Amelia Fletcher and bassist Rob Pursey have worked together in Talulah Gosh, Heavenly, Marine Research, and Tender Trap; and drummer Mark Flunder was in both the Television Personalities and the McTells, among others), Sportique has thrived, even managing more releases than the Razorcuts did during their four-year run.

Sportique released three singles in 1998, "The Kids Are Solid Gold," "If You Ever Change Your Mind," and "Tiny Clues," all on the cumbersomely-named U.K. indie Where It's At Is Where You Are. Their debut album, Black Is a Very Popular Colour, came out in April 1999 on the slightly larger indie Matinee Recordings, which also released an all-new single, "Love and Remains," in July of that year. A second album, Modern Museums, followed in the summer of 2002.

Razorcuts Biography by Tim Sendra

The Razorcuts were part of the legendary C-86 scene in the U.K. and went on to become one of the more influential indie pop groups of the 1980s. Founded in 1985 in Luton, England by Tim Vass and Gregory Webster, the Razorcuts released singles on the Subway Organization and Flying Nun labels before signing with Creation and releasing their first LP, Storyteller, in 1988. World Keeps Turning was released in 1989 but the band soon split. Vass and Webster went on to play separately in many bands including Saturn V, the Carousel, Forever People, and Sportique. In 2002 Matinee released R is for...Razorcuts, a collection of the duo's best recordings.
