ALF uk

ALF began in 2000 as the studio project of Nick Chamberlain-Hunt, a musician with a wide background from being a bass player with cult new romantic band Neu Electric on the now collectable Some Bizarre Records to live dub mixer for Baby Fox.

His debut album "ALF" revolved around a rotation of friends and associated bands that gigged and jammed together. This set up continued successfully through three more albums "Alongside Frank" and "Cajun Wolf" and "Suicide is the Last Thing On My Mind".

Singer Christine Ann Leach started her recording career on underground club records with tracks on renowned producer William Orbit’s label, [Guerrilla Records]. This led to further collaboration and songs on William Orbits' "Strange Cargo" series of ambient albums. At the same time her band Baby Fox began making a name for them selves with two singles of the week in the NME and a couple highly rated albums in a genre that became labelled as trip hop. Then one of the songs ( based on a tune her uncle wrote in 70's called Sepheryn) that Christine performed in 1997 live with William Orbit at London Astoria, and at Phoenix Festival renamed "Ray of Light", suddenly shot into an entirely different universe. William became Madonna’s producer and he played her a recording by Orbit and Leach of the rejigged version of the song which then became the title track for Madonna’s album “Ray Of Light”.

The new face of ALF is “Alongside Frank”, a name taken from the title of their second album, consisting of members Nicholas Chamberlain-Hunt, Christine Ann Leach and Gavin Jack (drums) and Lol Henderson (Bass). http://www.myspace.com/alongsidefrank.
