- Q1369756 abstract "Finitribe was a dance music band from Edinburgh, Scotland. The group is sometimes also referred to as Fini Tribe. The name was taken from finny tribe, a term used by the Rosicrucians to describe the fishes.Formed: Edinburgh in 1984 by Chris Connelly, John Vick, Andrew McGregor, Philip Pinsky, David Miller and Simon McGlynn.Initially a post-punk guitar outfit, the band released a debut E.P. Curling and Stretching on their own Finiflex label in the summer of 1984, graduating to their first John Peel Session in 1985 before rethinking their whole approach in the mid 80s. John Peel BBCTired of the conventional drums, bass and guitar set up, they acquired a sampler and began experimenting with electronic music. The result was 'Let The Tribe Grow' an e.p. released on the Glasgow label Cathexis and featuring 'De Testimony', a seminal dance floor anthem for the original Balearic/Acid House generation.Subsequently signing to Chicago label Wax Trax the band released two singles, 'I Want More' (a cover of the Can song) and Make it Internal, raising their profile in the States and resulting in extensive radio and club success.A long and arduous 'toilet' tour of the UK in 1988 led to the departure of three members – including Connelly who relocated to the States and joined the Revolting Cocks and Ministry – and a parting of the ways with Wax Trax Records.This in turn resulted in a resurrection of the Finiflex label and a distribution deal with Fast Forward for a long awaited debut album, 'Noise Lust and Fun'. The band was now made up of Pinsky, Vick and Miller along with various contributions from Little Annie, Rosanne Erskine and Wilf Plum. A series of remix EP's proved their electronic and dance floor credentials and brought indie chart success.The band met and signed a long-term publishing deal with Andy Heath (director of Beggars Banquet and Momentum Publishing), allowing the band to grow and develop without the constant need for advances from record companies.After signing a new deal with One Little Indian the band with encouragement from label boss Derek Birkett ran into controversy almost immediately with the 'Animal Farm' EP. Subverting the nursery rhyme 'Old MacDonald' for the purposes of berating the similarly titled hamburger outlet, Finitribe (as they were now known) offered up a flavour of the anti-consumerist stance prevalent on new album 'Grossing 10k' (1989). The subsequent threat of legal action wasn't exactly helped by a 'Fuck off McDonalds' poster and T-shirt campaign.The band continued to develop stronger links with the electronic music world for their next single and album. Andrew Weatherall produced and remixed the single '101' (1991) along with Graham Massey from 808 State. Justin Robertson then worked with the band to remix and produce the singles 'Ace Love Deuce' and 'Forevergreen' (1992).These singles all featured on the band's most critically and commercially successful album, 'An Unexpected Groovy Treat' (1992), the last album they were to record for One Little Indian.The success of this album allowed the band to re launch their 'finiflex' label and the in-house production team recorded and released many singles including those by Justin Robertson, State of Flux, Ege Bam Yasi and Sparks. A Finiflex Compilation album 'And Away They Go' was released to critical acclaim in 1993.The band was redeveloping their studio complex in Leith during this period and coordinated all management, recording, press and merchandise from there.After leaving One Little Indian the band further developed their studio complex and looked for a new recording deal. With the assistance of Tom Watkins (Pet Shop Boys, East 17) the band negotiated a deal with Pete Tong at London/FFRR. This deal allowed for the completion of the state of the art recording studio in Leith and facilitated complete independence for the recording of their next album.For the writing and pre-production of the band's fourth album they relocated to a small crofting settlement called Sheigra in the north west of Scotland. In 1994 the band released the single 'Brand New' and although a minor hit the relationship with London/FFRR was cooling. A further single 'Love Above' and the album 'Sheigra' were released in 1995. The band followed this with a tour with Sparks and then their own headlining tour of the UK.By early 1996 David Miller and Philip Pinsky split from John Vick, the former continuing with Finitribe and John Vick successfully continuing with the studio complex Finiflex.The slimmed down Finitribe, now operating from house built on the side of a volcano, started a new label U.G.T and released an LP by Acid House maverick Ege Bam Yasi. While looking for a new label and a new singer Finitribe went to Essex to work with former Prodigy collaborator Jason Byrne. The result was the E.P. Squelch and the meeting up with future producer Witchman (John Roome).For a short while the band hooked up with Chas Smash (Madness) as manager, this indirectly led to a meeting with Korda Marshall and a deal was struck with Infectious/ Mushroom Records (home of Garbage and Ash). Philip and David recruited a band and picked up some guitars and drums.The band's fifth album 'Sleazy Listening' was recorded in Edinburgh with John Roome (Witchman) producing. It featured Paul Haig, Little Annie, Niroshini Thambar, Chris Ross, John Roome and Katie Morrison. The album mixed electronica and live instrumentation and received critical acclaim. Melody Maker stating that, " If Finitribe had lived and worked in Bristol they would have won the Mercury Music prize by now".The album was launched with a sell out gig at The Shooting Gallery, Edinburgh with Davy Henderson's Nectarine No. 9.The band toured the UK with their most successful gigs for several years, headlining the ICA in London. They recorded the first ever John Peel live session and released three further singles for Infectious.This was the band's last album and tour. Their last gig was at a sell out Bath Moles Club in the summer of 1998.Other interests and priorities meant that Philip and David put Finitribe to one side . One more single was released 'Bored' (2000).Finitribe continue to be heard in clubs, on the radio and on records worldwide.Finiflex continues to produce high-end sound recordings for television, radio, sound design and advertising.In January 2014 the band reissued "De Testimony" on limited 12" vinyl and have plans to reissue further classics from their catalogue.Davie and John will work together through 2014 as Fini Tribe with A Finiflex Production playing some live shows and Djing before on embarking on a new project towards the end of the year.".
