Saint Etienne
About Saint Etienne
Saint Etienne are an English band from Greater London, formed in 1990. The band consists of Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley, and Pete Wiggs. They emerged from the indie dance scene of the 1990s and combined club culture with 1960s pop and other influences. Their debut album, Foxbase Alpha, was released in 1991 and included the singles 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart' and 'Nothing Can Stop Us'. Their second album, So Tough, was released in 1993 and featured the single 'You're in a Bad Way'. The 1994 album Tiger Bay incorporated techno folk elements and reached the top ten in the UK. The compilation album Too Young to Die: Singles 1990–1995 was certified gold and included the band's highest-charting single, 'He's on the Phone', with Étienne Daho. In 1998, they released Good Humor, recorded entirely on analogue equipment at Tambourine Studios in Sweden; its lead single, 'Sylvie', reached number twelve in the UK charts.
