Sarandon formed in late 2003 between London and Leicester.
Sarandon are a pop band with a short attention span. Head Hocho, Crayola
had been in mid-Eighties antiheroes The Colgates. he also ran Thee Foundation
for Nothing cassette label and performed in too many bands to recall,
including Future Sperm Brasil, Scooter, Pimp, Rocket Jockey & Team
Mollusk. He’s appeared on over 100 albums and released 25 solo albums.
He now runs the kabukikore label. He had the idea for Sarandon swirling
round in his head for some time and finally got round to asking his friends
Joe and James if they’d help out. Their first release was a 7 track
7” album entitled “The Miniest Album” (Run Out / Banazan).
Released in 2004 it quickly gathered some great reviews from all over
the world along with a bunch of radio play. Not bad for a band that had
only rehearsed twice and played live once before their recording. Their
current record 'The Big Flame' (Banazan) sees the band having
rehearsed just once more before going into the studio – laziness
or perfection? You decide. They say: Why pop? - Because pop is good. Why
short songs? - Because there’s no need to make them any longer. Why
that brittle sound? - Because leanness is exciting. Sarandon are joined
by a new drummer in the shape of Simon for the Wrath release...
Wrath will be involved in releasing the 3rd in their series of 7-track
7" 'mini albums' later on this year. It's going to be called 'The
Feminist Third' and if the first couple are anything to go by, it will
be just as ace. There's even rumour of possible gigging action for the
elusive 3-piece, including the possibility of some shows alongside legendary
Japanese nutcases (and fans of the band), Melt Banana. You can see and
hear what they are up to at www.kabukikore.net/sarandon/ and of course
