Biography for Robyn Hitchcock:

Music Style: Alternative Pop/Rock, Vocal
Instrument: Vocal
Birth: 1952
Importance: 2 (scale 1-3; 3=highest)

    British avant-garde singer/songwriter Robyn Hitchcock built up a large
    cult following and critical acclaim for his highly poetic, if somewhat
    obscure, songs, especially after his work began to be more generally
    available in the US after 1985. Born in London, Hitchcock formed the Soft
    Boys with Andy Metcalfe and Morris Windsor in 1976; the band continued
    until 1981, when Hitchcock released his first solo album, "Black Snake
    Diamond Role". This was followed by "Groovy Decay" (1982) and "I Often
    Dream of Trains" (1984). In 1984 Hitchcock formed a backing band called
    the Egyptians, consisting of Metcalfe, Windsor, Otis Horns Fletcher, and
    Roger Jackson, and began playing concerts for the first time in two and a
    half years. The first recorded output of this band, and the first US
    Hitchcock album, was "Fegmania!" (1985). It was followed by the live
    album "Gotta Let This Hen Out!" (1985), "Element of Light" (1986), and a
    compilation called "Invisible Hitchcock" (1986), all of which built up
    Hitchcock's following to

    the point that he was signed by A&M Records, resulting in his major-label
    debut "Globe of Frogs" (1988), which reached #111. "Queen Elvis",
    Hitchcock's second A&M album, reached #139 in 1989. He then made "Eye"
    (1990), an acoustic solo album released on Twin/Tone Records. ~ William
