1.Early years
Chumbawamba were formed in 1982 from two other bands based in Yorkshire, The Passion Killers and Chimp Eats Banana.Inspired musically by The Fall and the anarchist political stances of Crass, Chumbawamba's activities in the early years were based around a communal house in Armley, Leeds.Stalwarts of the cassette culture scene, the band was featured on many compilations."Common Ground" cassette and a song dedicated to the pit village of Fitzwilliam, which was one of the worst cases of economic decline following the strike.The first LP, Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records (1986) was a critique of the then current Live Aid concert organised by Bob Geldof, which the band argued was primarily a cosmetic spectacle designed to draw attention away from the real political causes of world hunger.One Little Indian Records
By the late 1980s and early 1990s, Chumbawamba had begun to absorb influences from techno music and dance culture.Shhh (1992) (originally intended to be released as Jesus H Christ!EMI controversy
Chumbawamba drew criticism from the band's original following in 1997 when the members signed to the major label EMI in Europe, particularly as much of their earlier output had explicitly attacked this corporation; they had even been involved with a compilation LP called Fuck EMI in 1989.Chumbawamba' EP, "Bare Faced Hypocrisy Sells Records".However, the band argued that EMI had severed the controversial link with weapons manufacturer Thorn a few years previously, and that experience had taught them that, in a capitalist environment, almost every record company operates on capitalist principles; "Our previous record label One Little Indian didn't have the evil symbolic significance of EMI BUT they were completely motivated by profit."They added that this move brought with it the opportunity to make the band financially viable (all members were up until then working in other jobs to make a living) as well as to communicate their message to a wider audience.It was also during this period that Chumbawamba gained some notoriety when male vocalist Danbert Nobacon, unprovoked, poured a jug of water over UK Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, who did not retalliate, at the 1998 BRIT Awards.Chumbawamba released the album WYSIWYG on EMI in 2000, and parted from the label in 2001.MUTT Records
In 2002, Chumbawamba formed their own record label, MUTT, for UK releases.Capitalism, a paperback book of political and musical writings by friends and acquaintances of the band."Pass It Along" for a Pontiac Vibe television advertisement in 2002.In 2004, the band released an album of 'world music' influenced songs entitled Un, which addressed such current concerns as the looting of the museums in Iraq (On eBay) and Buy Nothing Day.Boff Whalley, Lou Watts, Jude Abbot and Neil Ferguson continued to tour the UK and Europe throughout 2005 and 2006.Singsong and a Scrap, released late in 2005.In 2006 Alice wrote the musical drama 'Love and Petrol' which played for a week in Bradford during June.In 2007, Chumbawamba played at the Glastonbury Festival.And that the album will be a concept album with songs "calmly stating their case about the state of the world.The album was officially released on March 3 in the UK and March 14 in Europe.The name
Over the years, the band have been asked many times what "Chumbawamba" really means.At the time we formed (early '80s) there was a rush of bands with obvious names.We liked the sound of Chumbawamba because it wasn't nailing ourselves down.Thatcher On Acid were a good band but it's lucky for them that Thatcher stayed in power for 11 years.Other explanations which have been given include the following:
On an episode of BBC2's pop music quiz Never Mind the Buzzcocks there was a question about where Chumbawamba got its name.There has never been a team in English football called Walford Town, although the name has occasionally been used to represent the local team in the BBC soap opera EastEnders.Up Video on VH1, the name "Chumbawamba" is derived from a dream that one of the members had, wherein men were called "chumbas" and women "wambas".Be Happy Despite It All, Sky and Trees, 1983 (Cassette only release, joint with The Passion Killers, featuring hand coloured cover)
