Bush biography

Bush are a British rock band from London, England. They formed in London in 1992 and cover the genres of Alternative rock, post-grunge and grunge.

Bush consists of four talented members, Gavin Rossdale, Robin Goodridge, Chris Traynor and Corey Britz. The British boys formed after Gavin Rossdale departed from his former band, named, Midnight. He met former guitarist for the band King Blank guitarist Nigel Pulsford in 1992 and the pair decided formulate a band. Once the pair had found their feet they went on to take on bass guitarist Dave Parsons and drummer Robin Goodridge.

Once complete, the band had to chose a name, interestingly, they decided on the name "Bush", which was based on the place named, Shepherd's Bush in London, which was a main meeting place for the band.

The band released their debut album which was named "Sixteen Stone" in 1994 which notably peaked at number 4 on America's the Billboard Music Charts. Furthermore, their second album, released two years ago, titled, "Razorblade suitcase", reached a remarkable number one in America and also reached high in the charts in many countries in Europe.

The British band unfortunately separated in 2002, with an eight year gap. However, after the band made amends and in 2010 they began work on a new album, "The Sea of Memories". They went on to release this the following year. The album was very successful and their single "The Sound of Winter" made number one, surpassing both the rock and alternative charts.

Live reviews

In the popular imagination, Gavin Rossdale is best known as Mr. Gwen Stefani these days, so it’s probably worth reminding you that his band, Bush, were a pretty big deal, once upon a time; their debut record, Sixteen Stone, has been certified six times platinum, and in the U.S., especially, they had a slew of chart hits throughout the nineties - their 1996 album Razorblade Suitcase went in at number one over there. In 2010, they reunited after an eight year lay-off - minus two original members, with family commitments forcing Nigel Pulsford and Dave Parsons to sit out the mammoth world tour that Rossdale and drummer Robin Goodridge had planned. Perhaps inevitably, the reformation focused first on the States, but eventually saw a run of UK shows scheduled for early 2012; opening with Sixteen Stone classic ‘Machinehead’, the band raced through career-spanning sets that typically included five tracks from comeback album The Sea of Memories, as well as covers of Pink Floyd’s ‘Breathe’ and The Beatles’ ‘Come Together’. With another new record planned for later this year, the reunion shows no signs of slowing down; Bush have retained a significant cult fanbase, and one that can presumably look forward to new dates sooner rather than later.
