    Artist History
    The symbolics formed in 1963, made up of a group of four boys from oxford and cambridge. keen followers of the famous boat race, they called themselves "The Coxless Four". they gigged for a couple of years with limited success, until they broke into the top 40 at no 39 with the album "we'd be lost without our cox". despite an appearance on the ed sullivan show, they failed to break america, and came back to britain a bunch of worn out alcoholics, having pished all the money they had earned up against a wall. in las vegas. worse was to follow, as the drummer faced charges of bestiality upon his return to britain. the years went by with no success and in 1993 they were officially declared bankrupt. to try and clear their debts, they announced a farewell tour in 1997, and sold out stamperland halls within months. after the relative success of their farewell tour, they decided to reform and perform under a new name. calling themselves "symbolics", they have decided to tour glasgow, with the drummer, having finally being cleared of all the charges, rejoining the band. they will be releasing new material and hitting the road in the near future, with the occasional aid of a pianist. any groupies wishing to see our pianist need only ask. (note: the pianist idea fell through, but the pianist pun will remain in this fictional profile until someone comes forward):D
