Bivouac did everything a 3-piece alternative rock band from Derby, who grew up on a steady diet of Husker Du, Sonic Youth and The Pixies, could dream of doing in the nineties. They released a string of records on cool indie label Elemental, recorded sessions for John Peel, played with Fugazi and Jesus Lizard, danced onstage with Nirvana, signed to a major label and split up. Bivouac crafted some essential, skewed and fuzzy tuneage that has endured and lingered on the cult fringes of alternative rock, remember fondly by those that were there as the band got on with the rest of their lives.
Then in 2016 they returned. Explains singer and guitarist Paul Yeadon. “We made a racket (with earplugs this time), celebrated the folly of youth, grown men cried, people travelled from Scandinavia, Europe and America."
2018 year marks the 25th anniversary of ‘Tuber’, their debut album, and sees the release of a beautifully presented double vinyl reissue remastered by Paul Yeadon himself, the album is coupled with sessions recorded for John Peel in ’92 and ’94 and issued through the band’s own label Thanks Capitalism
“Tuber was recorded on a farm in Warwickshire,” remembers Paul. “At this point we had played a lot of shows and still liked one another, we were match fit and well-rehearsed. I think the combination of being confident at what we were doing but still not being really aware of why or what we were doing, made for a heartfelt and naïve record. Simplistic and uncontrived.”
