never heard of them/it :icon_eek: what sort of music is it

Furniture had a hit in the UK charts in 1986 with "Brilliant Mind", the song that most people will still remember if you sing it at them. It was an unusual and moody single but shot into the Top 20.

Almost as soon as Furniture were finding success, their nightmares with the music industry began. As soon as the first pressing of their breakthrough album, The Wrong People, sold out, Stiff Records (catchphrase: "Pure pop for now people" and "We came, we saw, we left") deleted it. Soon after that, Stiff stiffed, and the band were among many caught up in legal wrangles that would tie them in knots for years.

That the 30,000 pressed copies of The Wrong People sold out so quickly should have set alarms bells ringing in the industry. A&R men should have jumped at the chance to sign up Furniture.

They didn't, and when the second album proper, Food Sex and Paranoia, was released by Arista in 1990 most people had forgotten about them. Singles from the album were not a success, and it disappeared to the nation's bargain bins. (I bought it on cassette the day it came out, and to my amazement found a CD copy in a second hand shop in Cambridge a couple of years ago, which I bought as a back-up in case my tape version ever breaks or gets chewed up.)

Furniture played their last gig at the Reading Festival in 1990 or 91 (not sure about the year - if I'm wrong, let me know). I thought it was a sombre affair. There was a small crowd, and it was the first time I had seen them live. Maya Gilder had already left, and soon after this gig the band ceased to exist at all.
