1990s

Glasgow rock & roll trio 1990s formed from the remnants of <a href="spotify:artist:0EB6K2787E4Vf9TYie1qEI">the Yummy Fur</a>, which had briefly included Paul Thomson of <a href="spotify:artist:0XNa1vTidXlvJ2gHSsRi4A">Franz Ferdinand</a>. After <a href="spotify:artist:0EB6K2787E4Vf9TYie1qEI">the Yummy Fur</a> called it quits in 1999, guitarist/vocalist Jackie McKeown and bassist Jamie McMorrow regrouped a few years later with drummer Michael McGaughrin of <a href="spotify:artist:2rZxlLA0A3nSYjBgLnN0sw">V-Twin</a> to form 1990s. The band was signed by Rough Trade after playing only six shows. In addition to supporting <a href="spotify:artist:0XNa1vTidXlvJ2gHSsRi4A">Franz Ferdinand</a>, 1990s toured with <a href="spotify:artist:1OYQ8FaGjBFrENUZ1RLvMG">the Long Blondes</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2K13AVg3bFpHSxDM1vJ0qA">CSS</a> in late 2006. Cookies, their excellent debut album, was produced by former <a href="spotify:artist:6PHIK3kjWggLtVygsOtpqS">Suede</a> guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:28pqwEjm2WDueRWP4AjA1x">Bernard Butler</a>, and was released in the U.S. on July 31, 2007. Soon after, bassist McMorrow left the group and <a href="spotify:artist:6nC2QUWQf9EldmFq3iQwoL">Norman Blake</a> of <a href="spotify:artist:2Sp19cOHSqAUlE64hekARW">Teenage Fanclub</a> filled in to help fulfill touring obligations. He was never meant to be a permanent member of the band, and soon Dino Bardot (who had played with McGaughrin in <a href="spotify:artist:2rZxlLA0A3nSYjBgLnN0sw">V-Twin</a>) joined. The revamped trio hit the studio once again with <a href="spotify:artist:28pqwEjm2WDueRWP4AjA1x">Butler</a> and the resulting album, Kicks, was released in March of 2009. ~ Kenyon Hopkin, Rovi
