Robert Ian McNabb (born 3rd November 1962) first rose to prominence with The Icicle Works when they scored two major hit singles, 'Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)' (Top forty US) and 'Love is a Wonderful Colour' (Top twenty UK). Their eponymously titled debut album was also a hit on both sides of the Atlantic, achieving gold record status in Canada. The Icicle Works released four albums between 1983 and 1988, all achieving top forty placing, until they broke up immediately after their swansong 'Blind'. Ian went on to record one more album under the name The Icicle Works. 'Permanent Damage' was released in March 1990 on Epic. Ian split with Epic that same year and released his first solo album, entitled 'Truth and Beauty', on Andrew Lauder's new label, This Way Up, in March 1993. The album found its way into magazine end of year polls, and even making it into Q magazine's 'best albums released during Q's lifetime'. Andrew Lauder had suggested to Ian that it might a good idea for him to record his next album with producer John Porter. Ian suggested that if the services of Neil Young's band could be assured, he would gladly make the long journey to California. So with Crazy Horse on board Ian released 'Head Like a Rock' in June 1994 and it was an immediate success. The album returned Ian to the upper reaches of the top forty once again and receieved a nomination for the prestigious Mercury Prize. For his next album, Ian decided to put together a new band. Ian christened them 'The Afterlife.' The resulting album, 1996's 'Merseybeast', was once again a top forty success. The tour ended on a high note when Ian got to share the bill at 1996's Phoenix festival with Young and Crazy Horse. In May/June 1998 Ian was offered a week-long residency at Ronnie Scott's club in Birmingham. Ian then released the sublime 'A Party Political Broadcast on Behalf of the Emotional Party', with Danny Thompson (Pentangle), Mike Scott and Anthony Thistlethwaite (Waterboys) providing some beautiful acoustic guitar, mandolin and saxophone between them. Summer 2004 sees the release of 'Potency', the best of Ian McNabb, with favourites from 1992 to 2002. Ian is lined up for Glastonbury, T in The Park and Summer Sundae, whilst a sell-out Liverpool show 'An Evening With Boots' is planned for May. Ian has been a professional musician since the age of fifteen, when he used to play at workingmen's social clubs in the northwest of England, although he now reckons he's only just getting started. Good start Ian... ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 10:41:04 -0700 From: Charles Pham Subject: seven-seas Inland Invasion? KROQ Inland Invasion 4 Saturday, September 18th Venue TBA (but all previous shows have been @ the Hyundai Pavilion) confirmed acts so far from various sources: Morrissey (of the Smiths), headliner Ian Brown (of the Stone Roses) Why, you ask, did I put the former bands in parentheses? Well, my guess would be is that its the running theme of this year's festival--frontmen/frontwomen gone solo. Again, this is just a guess! Further, there are others that will be performing their own shows in the area during the same time, so perhaps they may be joining the bill (AGAIN, JUST A GUESS): **Souxsie (of Sousxie and the Banshees / The Creatures) will be in town playing her own solo shows **Ian McCulloch; the Bunnymen will be in town the following weekend. hmmm... **Billy Idol; playing in the area with the 18th date open.
