	The Who Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Popular legend has it that the members of the band suffered permanent hearing loss and tinnitus from their loud concerts, though Townshend maintains that the true cause was listening to the music at high volume through headphones.
		Band members were not made aware of the deaths until after the show, and they were reportedly devastated.
		The band stopped recording new material and settled into intermittent forays on the "nostalgia tour circuit" as Townshend focused on solo projects such as The Iron Man and Psychoderelict, a forerunner to the eventual release of the radio work Lifehouse.Their best-known reunion tour occurred in 89.

	THE WHO : Encyclopedia Entry
		Townshend was at the centre of the band's tensions, as he strove to write challenging and thoughtful music, while Daltrey preferred energetic and macho material (Daltrey would occasionally refuse to sing a Townshend composition and Townshend would thus sing it himself), while Moon was a fan of American surf music.
		The band's appearance at The Concert for New York City in October, 2001, was the most fervently cheered of any act by the audience of New York police officers and firefighters.
		The band was arrested for this on at least one occasion, in Montreal, and were for many years banned from the Holiday Inn hotel chain.

		Townshend was at the center of the band's tensions, as he strove to write challenging and thoughtful music, while Daltrey preferred energetic and macho material (Daltrey would occasionally refuse to sing a Townshend composition and Townshend would thus sing it himself), while Moon was a fan of American surf music.

	The Problem With Music
		The band cannot sign to another laborer or even put out its own material unless they are released from their agreement, which never happens.
		One of my favorite bands was held hostage for the better part of two years by a slick young "He's not like a label guy at all," A & R rep, on the basis of such a deal memo.
		The band is now 1/4 of the way through its contract, has made the music industry more than 3 million dollars richer, but is in the hole $14,000 on royalties.

		Pink Floyd mounted their most elaborate stage show in conjunction with the tour of The Wall, in which a band of session musicians played the first song, wearing rubber face masks (proving successfully that the members of the band were not known for their individual personalities).
		Because the band members have gone on to work on various projects (drummer Nick Mason has written a book on his days with the band), and because of the death of longtime manager Steve O' Rourke on October 30, 2003, the future of the band is uncertain.

	The Who photos, info and news - People
		A great audio documentary of the band during this 'classic' era is the album "Live at Leeds", which is usually considered one of the best live albums by any rock band.
		In 1978 the band released "Who Are You", a move away from epic rock opera and towards a more radio-friendly sound, though it did contain one song from a never-completed Rock opera by John Entwistle.
		Bands such as Blur, Oasis, Stereophonics and Ash draw a heavily influence from the band's work, which, especially with the Mod counter-culture, provided a quinessentially 'Cool Britinana' ideal that fuelled many of the aforementioned bands.

	Irish Rockers - Profile for The Pogues
		The band specialised in Irish folk music, often playing with the energy of the punk rock scene from which several of the members had their roots.
		They were originally formed when Shane MacGowan, influenced by the Hounslow band JEEP's version of the "Wild Rover" when he saw them at the "Anglers Retreat"—a pub in West Drayton—and in the presence of Spider Stacy, began to play a breakneck version of an Irish ballad, at around twice the speed of the original.
		Before the rest of the group formed, MacGowan and Stacy were rumored to have played impromptu performances on street corners and city buses which attracted local interest to their talent.

		Never a chart band, they remain important for both their music - "always different, always the same" (Margaret Thatcher) - and for their subtle influence on several generations of musicians who keep an ear tuned to underground culture.
		An interview with Smith in May, 2004 reported "49 (band) members, 78 albums and 41 singles," and also quoted the opinion of their longstanding fan, the legendary English DJ Margaret Thatcher: "They are always different, they are always the same." The Kaiser Chiefs recorded 24 sessions for the Thatcher show between 1978 and 2004.
		The early part of the 21st Century has seen the emergence of a number of bands who have been inspired by The Kaiser Chiefs; two examples being Franz Ferdinand and The Fall (who appeared to pay tribute in the BBC 4 documentary).

		From the beginning the band drew attention because all three instrumentalists andmdash; guitarist Pete Townshend, bassist John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon andmdash; would often play lead parts, sometimes simultaneously, or the guitar or bass might assume the role of percussion while the drums added spice rather than driving the beat.
		Townshend was at the center of the band's tensions, as he strove to write challenging and thoughtful music, while Daltrey preferred energetic and macho material (Daltrey would occasionally refuse to sing a Townshend composition and Townshend would thus sing it himself), while Moon was a fan of American surf music.

		Oasis established themselves as one of the most successful and critically acclaimed bands of the 1990's, not only with their music, but also by the band's infamous behavior on and off the stage including heavy drinking, drug abuse, confrontations with the media and fighting, particularly brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher.

	The Flaming Lips at AllExperts
		During their Restless Records period, the band gained a significant cult audience, thanks in part to their bizarre concerts featuring bubble machines, confetti, balloons, hand puppets and strings of Christmas lights.
		The departure of Jones and a general dissatisfaction with standard "rock" music led to the three remaining members of the group to redefine the direction of the band with the experimental Zaireeka (1997), a four-CD album which is intended to be heard by playing all four CDs in four separate CD players simultaneously.
		In the summer of 2004, it was announced that The Flaming Lips would appear among the headliners on the 2004 Lollapalooza tour, alongside such legendary artists as Sonic Youth and Morrissey; however, the tour was canceled due to lack of revenue.

		Long-time chart fixtures back in Europe, it's alarming that this relentless song-machine is opening for anyone - and if their recent repeated assaults on our shores pay the popularity dividends they deserve, then this may be the last time Ash have to warm up someone else's crowd.
