Teenage Fanclub are an indie rock / power pop band from Bellshill, Scotland near Glasgow, formed in 1989 and formerly known as the Boy Hairdressers. They have two generally known humorous nicknames: \"The Fannies\" and \"The Bellshill Beach Boys\". They're revered for their devotion to chiming, The Byrds-esque guitars and harmonic vocals. The band is perhaps best known for the 1991 masterpiece 'Bandwagonesque', which presaged the later Britpop and indie pop movements, and, in 2006, Teenage Fanclub held two special concerts in London and Glasgow playing said album in its entirety. Songwriting duties are shared between the three permanent members of the band: Norman Blake, Raymond McGinley, and Gerard Love.
Indie Classic Teenage Fanclub Bandwagonesque 1991
Glasgow power-pop trailblazers Teenage Fanclub are returning to Aotearoa for a headline show at Auckland's Powerstation this February. Masters of effervescent guitar hooks and singalong choruses, Teenage Fanclub rose to international fame in the heady alt-guitar loving days of the early nineties, with infectiously catchy gems scattered through nearly a dozen studio albums including A Catholic Education, Bandwagonesque, Thirteen and Grand Prix. Along with their own songs the band released significant collaborative cuts with US rappers De La Soul and US indie figurehead Jad Fair (Half Japanese). The long-running band have never stopped performing and recording over a career spanning almost thirty years, and are celebrating this month's vinyl re-issue of five records originally released between 1991 to 2000 on Creation Records.
