The Korgis

The Korgis is an English group of New wave, composed of James Warren (song), Andy Davis (song and battery), Stuart Gordon (guitar) and Phil Harrison (keyboards), born at the end of the years 1970.

Origins

Warren and Davis worked the first time together like members of the group Britannique Beatle' s-esque Stackridge. Their third album Man In The Bowler Hat produces in 1973 by George Martin, was the only one to enter Charts in England. Warren and Davis quickly leave the group before his decline. One needed the rise of the movement New wave, four years afterwards to join together creative energies of Warren who decided to contact his old companion of band, Davis, to know if a new collaboration were possible. Davis was interested by the idea and the joined together duet started to write and record beginning 1979 under the name of The Korgis (joined later by the guitarist Stuart Gordon and the pianist Phil Harrison), probably in reference to the mark of synthétieurs Korg.

Career

The new group leaves several individual in 1979, of which Young' Russian and If I Had You, which cases in the British charts. Their first album éponyme leaves the same year, gathering all these tubes. The following year, in 1980, The Korgis leave already another opus entitled Dumb Waiters, which contains the title headlight Everybody' S got to learn sometime , which remains their larger success.

Sticky George, the following album, will not know the same passion, which causes tensions with their label which puts them at the door. The group declines then very little of time afterwards.

James Warren engages in a career solo and reforms The Korgis in 1990, to re-record some titles. A new album This World' S for Everyone leaves in 1992.
