All Saints was an English Pop girl band that released their debut self-titled album in 1997. The band consists of founding members Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis, and siblings Nicole and Natalie Appleton.
After being united as a newly formed group in May 1996, the four met with Karl Gordon, a former band member of Outlaw Posse, who recorded a demo for "I Know Where It's At".
The next task was searching for a new record deal, but most record labels wanted to turn them into a Spice Girls duplicate. Fortunately, the demo made its way to London Records, where John Benson finalised the recording deal in November 1996.
On January 24, 2006 it was announced that the band had reformed. All Saints signed a deal with Parlophone, and they released their third studio album titled Studio 1[6] on November 13, 2006.
The first single, Rock Steady[8] was released on November 6, 2006. The song was given its first ever radio airplay on The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1 on 21 September 2006.[9]NME announced that the newly re-formed band will be launching an extensive UK wide tour in 2007, to promote their new album.]
For their first performance since splitting up, the group performed the song Rock Steady on ITV's reformed , Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway on 21 October, 2006. They also participated in Mobile Phone company 3's "3FrontRoom", a series of intimate gigs with well-known bands. |
