Stereolab - Tour 2025
Stereolab is a British rock band that was formed in 1990 in London. The band originally consisted of Tim Gane (guitar and keyboard) and Lætitia Sadier (vocals, keyboard, and guitar), who remained the main driving forces and constants throughout the many lineup changes. Stereolab is considered one of the representatives of post-rock and plays an experimental blend of pop, rock, and electronics. The band's sound is defined by the contrast between powerful organ chords, mostly in the Farfisa sound, and the female, slightly quirky English or French vocals. Similarly, stylistic elements of easy listening, psychedelia, and krautrock intersect. Stereolab emerged in 1990 from the band McCarthy and initially consisted of Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier. In the same year, Joe Dilworth (drums), Martin Kean (bass), and Gina Morris (keyboard and backing vocals) were recruited. The following year, the first single Super 45 was released through the band's own label Duophonic. In 1992, the lineup changed for the first time, and Andrew Ramsay (drums) and Mary Hansen (vocals, keyboard, guitar) replaced Dilworth, Kean, and Morris. Hansen remained a permanent member until her accidental death in 2002. In 1993, Sean O'Hagan (keyboard) and Duncan Brown (bass) joined the band. As an additional keyboardist, Katherine Gifford stepped in starting in 1994, as O'Hagan increasingly focused on his project The High Llamas. Gifford was replaced by Morgane Lhote in 1996. The following year, Brown was replaced by Richard Harrison on bass. The lineup changed several more times in the following years, with additional temporary members including Simon Johns (bass), Dominic Jeffery (keyboard), Joe Walters (keyboard, horn, and guitar), and Julien Gasc (keyboard and vocals). On April 2, 2009, the band announced that they would take an indefinite break. In 2010, the album Not Music was released, which contains songs from the time when the band was not on hiatus. Since 2019, Stereolab has been active again. In 2021 and 2022, Volume 4 and 5 of the Switched On series were released, which feature recordings from the 1990s and 2000s, but no new material.
