Movietone

Bristol

Movietone formed in Bristol in 1994 around Kate Wright, the main songwriter, and Rachel Brook, who had been in Flying Saucer Attack in that band's first few years. Before that Matt Elliott, Wright and Brook formed Lynda's Strange Vacation. Matt Jones of Crescent has drummed since the start and recorded and mixed many of the songs; other players over the years included Elliott, who records as The Third Eye Foundation, and Sam Jones. Wright also plays in 1000 dawns and is Crescent's bassist.

Day and Night appeared in 1997 on Drag City (DC141) and Domino. MusicBrainz dates the British CD to September 22 and the US CD to November 3, while Wikipedia says November 2. The Blossom Filled Streets (DC193) followed in 2000 and The Sand and the Stars (DC260) in 2003, partly recorded, Wright said, on a beach near Land's End with two microphones. The only setlist on setlist.fm is from Beehive Theater in Pittsburgh on November 17, 1999.
