Artist description The mighty CORONETS formed in 1999, mixing together lounge, pop, Roy Budd, and the inevitable Chris Montez . The band members are James Osgood, Malcolm Buckley, Evie Santer, and Philip Buckley; at long last Mr David Kerrigan is joining on drums. It's a good idea isn't it, a band with drums? Cf the flying pickets. The Coronets are obsessed with London Fields.

Music Style A cross between pop and easy listening - with added encona-brand chilli sauce. Metaphorically.

Musical Influences Pavement, serge gainsbourg, lee hazlewood, the divine comedy, nick cave and the bad seeds

Similar Artists pavement, the divine comedy, chris montez.

Artist History Formed in 1999 after a few years preparation (where preparation means sitting in my bedroom thinking up witty answers to interview questions). The first proper gig was in August 1999; now in 2000 the Coronets are - in many ways - close to global autocracy. Latest news always available at the corra-net - http://thecoro.net
