The Pale Fountains

The Pale Fountains

The Pale Fountains were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1980, and comprised of members Michael "Mick" Head (vocalist/guitarist), Chris McCaffery (bassist), Thomas Whelan (drummer) and former Dislocation Dance trumpeter Andy Diagram (horns).

Inspired by 1960s music such as Love, Burt Bacharach and The Beatles they failed to make any commercial headway, and had been regarded in the music industry as overhyped, but they achieved some reasonable critical praise for the two albums they released on Virgin, 1984's "Pacific Street" and 1985's "...From Across the Kitchen Table", produced by Ian Broudie, who later found fame with his band The Lightning Seeds. Their sole UK Singles Chart Top 50 single was the lavish "Thank You", which reached #48 in 1982.

They split up shortly after, with Mick Head forming Shack and Andy Diagram joining James. Bassist Chris McCaffery died in 1986 of a brain tumour.

In November 2007, Mick Head announced that he was reforming The Pale Fountains for two gigs to take place in February 2008. The first gig was held at the Carling Academy in Liverpool on Saturday, the 2nd of February.
