Squeeze
Squeeze are an English band that came to prominence in the New Wave period of the late 1970s, and continued recording successfully in the 1980s and 1990s.
The group formed in London in 1974. They are known for their hit songs "Cool for Cats," "Up the Junction," "Tempted," "Black Coffee In Bed," "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)," and "Hourglass," among others.
Squeeze broke up in 1999, but reunited for a tour through the United States and United Kingdom in 2007, and issued a live album culled from the American leg of the tour. The reunion was successful enough that Squeeze have announced that they will stay together to play the Chichester Real Ale and Jazz on 12 July followed by a 2008 U.S. tour in August.
In November 2007, the band released 5 Live, a live CD consisting of recordings from the American tour. The title referred to the number of people in the band, not the number of tracks on the 19-song CD.
Squeeze played The "Al Murray Happy Hour show" on ITV on 21 March 2008. They performed their hit Cool For Cats and Goodbye Girl, before doing a cover of Queen's Seven Seas of Rhye.
Squeeze is playing the Chichester Real Ale and Jazz festival on 12 July and has announced they will be playing another U.S. tour starting in August 2008.
Squeeze are confirmed as a headliner at Beautiful Days festival at Escot Park, Devon.
