The Pooh Sticks

	The Pooh Sticks The Pooh Sticks were a Welsh indie pop band from Swansea, Wales, primarily recording between 1988 and 1995. They were notable for their jangly melodiousness and lyrics gently mocking the indie scene of the time, such as on "On Tape", "Indiepop Ain't Noise Pollution" and "I Know Someone Who Knows Someone Who Knows Alan McGee Quite Well". The band changed direction on their 1991 U.S breakthrough ''The Great White Wonder'', eschewing the 'twee' British indie pop sound for a more American-styled power pop sound, akin to bands such as Jellyfish and Redd Kross. Subsequent albums included ''Million Seller'', released on 11 January 1993, considered by some power pop fans to be the band's best work, and ''Optimistic Fool'', released on 24 April 1995, followed in this style. Line-up Steve Gregory – producer, songwriter Hue Williams – vocals Gregory and Williams invented a fictitious line-up which included: Trudi Tangerine – tambourine/piano Paul – guitar Stephanie Bass-Drum ...
