6 Music Classic Concert - Garbage

Garbage were a superbly refreshing and intelligent interpretation of 'nineties musical styles. Strange samples and loops underpin songs of intensity, obsession and vengeance which, with the help of lead singer Shirley Manson's quietly psychotic, sexy and understated delivery, adds up to a heady mixture of power-pop. Formed in 1993 when Butch Vig and Steve Marker teamed up with Duke Erikson yo experiment with samples and loops to create their own inimitable sound. As the band toured the world their single 'Queer' reached the top twenty in December 1995 and 'Stupid Girl' did equally well in March 1996. This concert was recorded by the BBC at the Leeds Metropolitan University on 9 April 1996.
