Carter on lead guitar, Jared Hasselhoff (formerly Daddy Long Legs) on bass guitar, DJ Q-Ball on turntables, keyboards and synthesizer and The Yin on drums and percussion.

Formed by Jimmy Pop and Daddy Long Legs in 1992 and originally called Bang Chamber 8, the group released their first self-titled demo tape later that year. After deciding to change their name to pay homage to the popular 1980s kid’s TV show The Bloodhound Gang, they then released a second tape called Just Another Demo. This led to them securing a regular slot at the famous CBGBs in Manhatten, New York City, where they recorded their third demo tape The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to Hitler’s Handicapped Helpers. Following its release, the group were signed to Cheese Factory Records in April 1994, and released their first EP Dingleberry Haze in November that year.

In March 1995 the group signed with Columbia Records and released their debut full-length album Use Your Fingers in July, which included the songs Mama Say, Kids in America (a cover of the Kim Wilde hit) and K.I.D.S. Incorporated (a cover of the TV theme tune). This was swiftly followed by 1996’s One Fierce Beer Coaster, which charted at number 57 on the Billboard 200 and included the hit Fire Water Burn.

However, it was 1999’s Hooray for Boobies that propelled the group to international fame. The lead single The Bad Touch reached the Top 5 in the UK and was a huge hit around the world, while Pacman, Discover channel, Vagina, Along Comes Mary, Mope and The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope all performed well. This success continued with 2005’s Hefty Fine, which reached number 25 on the Billboard 200 and produced the hit singles Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo, Ralph Wiggum and No Hard Feelings.

Bloodhound Gang’s next album, Getting Laid on a School Bus, is set for an early 2011 release.

It was critically acclaimed and reached the Top 10 on the UK Albums Chart, producing the Top 40 singles U16 Girls, Tied to the 90’s, Happy and More Than Us. However, it was their second studio album that shot them to mainstream fame. The Man Who, released in May 1999, shot straight to number one in the UK – where it went on to over 2.7 million copies, being certified 9x platinum, and became the best-selling British album of the year – as well as reaching number two in Ireland and number eight in Australia. It produced four singles in total – Writing to Reach You, Driftwood, Why Does It Always Rain On Me? and Turn – which all reached the UK Top 20 and helped the group earn Best British Album at the 2000 Brit Awards.

After releasing the compilation album Singles, which produced the hit Coming Around, the group released their third studio album The Invisible Band in 2001. It was another big hit, reaching number one in the UK and the Top 40 in the US, and spawning the hit single Sing, Flowers in the Window and Side.

The two songs particularly criticised by the BBC, Roxanne and Can’t Stand Losing You (about prostitution and suicide respectively), both charted inside the UK Top 15, with the latter reaching number two.

The group’s second studio album Reggatta de Blanc was released the following year.

During the early 1980s the group released a further three studio albums – Zenyattà Mondatta, Ghost in the Machine and Synchronicity – which all shot to number one in the UK Albums chart (and reached the Top 5 on the US Billboard 200).

Myra Ellen Amos, better known as Tori Amos, is an American alternative/piano rock singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

Born on 22^nd August 1963 in Newton, North Carolina and brought up in Baltimore, Maryland, Amos began to learn the piano at the age of three and was composing her own instrumental pieces by the age of five. After studying at the renowned Peabody Conservatory of Music, she soon began performing in local piano bars and, at the age of fourteen, won a county teen talent contest. This led to her releasing her debut single Baltimore with MCA Records in 1980 – along with the B-side Walking With You.

In the late 1980s Amos set up the group Y Kant Tori Read, alongside the guitarist Steve Caton, drummer Matt Sorum, bass player Brad Cobb and keyboardist Jim Tauber. They released one self-titled album along with the single Distant Storm – which was featured on the 1988 film China O’Brien – before splitting up. However, their label Atlantic Records still demanded six albums from the group’s contract, so Amos decided to placate them by releasing a solo album instead.

1992’s Little Earthquakes was a critical hit and also a commercial success, reaching number fourteen in the UK Albums Chart. The singles Winter, Crucify and Silent All These Years all reached the Top 30 in the UK. Her follow up album Under the Pink was even more successful, reached number one in the UK (and number twelve in the US) and producing the UK Top 10 singles Cornflake Girl and Pretty Good Year.

However, it was their fifth studio album that would prove to be their mainstream breakthrough.

Daft Punk is a French electronic music group consisting of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter.

The duo met in 1987 in secondary school and formed the indie rock group Darlin’ together – along with the future Phoenix guitarist Laurent Brancowitz. After releasing a couple of singles and playing a few gigs, they received a scathing review in Melody Maker that dubbed the music “a bunch of daft punk”.

It also became renowned for its artistic music video directed by the future Academy Award-winner Spike Jonze.

The group released their debut album Homework in January 1997. Combining elements of house music, techno, acid and funk, the record sold over two million copies worldwide within just a few months and, as well as Da Funk, produced the major club hit single Around the World.

The duo followed this success with 2001’s Discovery, which marked a shift in style toward more of a disco/synthpop kind of house music. The album was a huge success, reaching number two in the UK, selling over 2.5 million copies worldwide and producing six singles, including the French chart-topping hit One More Time, the UK Top 20 Digital Love and the Grammy Award-winning Harder Better Faster Stronger.
