Anybody know what happened to them? ' Further' was a cracking album (1997) + 'Weather Ungerground' (2000) was pretty good as well. Formed in 1992 when Andrew Montgomery + Steven Dora met in Aberdeen + started writing songs together...

I remember them like.

I was in London at the time and had heard of them down there, were they big?

yeah they got quite high in the nme album polls for album of the year for the one in 1997....

I saw them in Dundee. they played T-in the park too.

When they played dundee, I pinched his slide, and still have it.

They were good - ushered in the flasetto era

My last band played with them a couple of times when they were called Sunfish, and it was pretty obvious even then than they'd get noticed. Andrew's voice is amazing. As far as I know they just did it the old fashioned way of playing lots, and putting out demos until they were signed by Nude Records (Suede's label). Headlined the famous NME Bratbus tour.
They're no longer together, but I think Andrew is in a band called Amityville now, who are making waves, and could be big soon. A couple of the others are also in a new band I think.

The others are in a band called 69corp and have collaborated with Howie B and remixed Super Furry Animals

didn't they move to london once they got interest?

Andrew Montgomery is indeed in Amityville - who are rather good, and not a million miles away from the Gevena sound it must be said (well, it's the voice...). I believe he lives in Glasgow and the rest of the band live in London, which might explain why they don't gig an awful lot.
Amityville should be releasing their own single soon, and they've been producing an album with John Leckie (Radiohead/Muse/Stone Roses etc), though they don't have a record deal. They do, however, have the same booking agent as Keane, so might end up getting some decent gigs.

I think 69 Corp (also mentioned above) is a couple of the other Geneva guys, though I don't know which ones but it's more electronic sorta stuff.

And Amityville's manager/Geneva's ex-manager runs a London clubnite called 'Scrabble'. They do a pop quiz as part of their night and the DiS team came first on the first night. Apparently. Though he was quite drunk when he marked the papers. But still... rah.

That's so weird, I was listening to them just the other day and was actually thinking the same question! Further was a good album, I never heard the second one...I heard his voice broke by then or something? First one has some right good songs on, in particular the single I was listening to; Tranqulizer...can't belive I was only 11 when I bought that!

I think the singer guy now writes music reviews for a newspaper.......cant remember what one though
