Hi,
A couple of years back I was quite taken with a London band called 
Rooster. They looked a bit like a boy band, and I suppose in a literal 
sense they may have been, but they played some good rock stuff, in a 
popular kind of way, 2 or 3 chart hits. I wasn't so taken with their 
second album which although good seemed to be vocals sitting on top of 
the music, as opposed to the music wrapped around the vocals, but I was 
wondering what had happened to them, and now I gather they have split 
up.   :(

I appreciate they won't have been everyone's cup of tea, but does anyone 
know what happened to them, and if they are finding new homes in other 
bands or what.

I also used to like a Glasgow band called Gun, but I appreciate I 
probably shouldn't post after drinking wine.

Cheers.

I liked them too - great guitars - although I probably wasn't in their 
target demograophic.

Thanks. Sad.  :(

"With musical differences and difficulties with the record company the 
band announced their split via their MySpace on 23 January 2007."

I'd like to know more though.

I know what you're saying but I suspect the band themselves would have 
been happy to have our appreciation. I try to not hold the fact that 
they were percieved as good looking and a "girlie-friendly" band put me 
off them.  :)

Blimey, they're up and running again, but without Mark Rankin on vocals 
I have my doubts.....
