Biography

Rialto grew from the ashes of the band Kinky Machine which featured singer Louis Eliot and guitarist Johnny Bull. Kinky Machine has released two albums, their self-titled debut in 1993 (Oxygen/MCA Records) and "Bent" in 1995. They had even scored a UK Top 10 single in 1992.

In 1997 Bull and Elliot, along with the Julian Taylor, drummer Pete Cuthbert, and Toby Hounsham, rejoined and formed Rialto. Later that year they released their first singles, "When We're Together" and "Untouchable." The latter was re-released in January 1998 and cracked the Top 20. Despite the anticipated arrival of their self-titled debut album, East West Records dropped them. Instead China Records released the band's debut album in July 1998. The six-track "Girl On A Train" EP followed two years later, receiving accolades from NME and Q. By the time Rialto gathered to make a second album, Hounsham and Christmas had left the group leaving them as a 4-piece. The band finally released their second (and final) album in March 2002, the more electronic "Night on Earth".
