	Chumbawamba
		Chumbawamba, originally called The Mirror Boys, were formed in 1983 from two other bands based around the Yorkshire area in the North of England, The Passion Killers and Chimp Eats Banana.
		Stalwarts of the cassette culture scene, Chumbawamba were at the forefront of the 1980s anarcho-punk movement, frequently playing benefit gigs in squats and small halls for causes such as animal rights, the anti-war movement[?], community groups and so on.
		Chumbawamba parted from EMI in 2001, and in 2002 released their eleventh official album Readymades, as well as Sic- Adventures In Anti-capitalism, a paperback book of political and musical writings by friends and aquaintances of the band.

	Ink 19 :: Chumbawamba
		British anarchist collective Chumbawamba have been flirting with most musical styles throughout a lengthy career, and their albums are all the more uneven for it.
		The added weight on basing their songs around light electronic rhythms serves as an effective unifying factor to the sound of the otherwise varied musical genres being explored here -- from medieval folk to punk rock -- but the results are so sweet and undisturbed it takes much of the passion out of their performances.
		Always politically motivated, Chumbawamba are at their best when the words and the band's energetic, playful performances take center seat, but too often that is not the case here.

	Rock On The Net: Chumbawamba
		Chumbawamba formed in England in 1984 and started out as an anarchist group performing more for making statements and theatrics than for music.
		Chumbawamba's Danbert Nobacon took the opportunity of the Brit Awards to display how he and his band members feel about the ruling Labor Party of Britain by dumping "a bucket of icewater" on the Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, while he was watching the awards.
		Chumbawamba stirred up some controversy when their song "Passenger List For Doomed Flight #1721" was described by Boff as "...a list of people we'd most like to see disappear from our lives." The song includes Bono, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and even TV's Ally McBeal.

	Chumbawamba: Biography
		Chumbawamba is the trio in the corner busking Clash and Gene Vincent songs on acoustic guitars - fired by punk logic, punk as change, hanging about in Paris during that knife-edge decision-time when rebellion turns into either part of your growing up or part of your life.
		And the Chumbawamba machine spins on, recording songs for benefit compilation LP's and surviving the backruptcy of their distribution company and the general indifference of most folk to the continuing combination of pop and politics.
		Chumbawamba join with Credit To The Nation to produce "Enough Is Enough", written as a warning of, and released as a reaction to, the increasing popularity of the nazi programme.

	Chumbawamba: Live at Irving Plaza, 12/20/97 (NY Rock)
		But what a song it is, and much to the surprise of the new-comers out there, who have only discovered Chumbawamba this year due to their much deserved and rabid success of Tubthumping,”; their collection of other songs is impressive.
		Despite over 15 years of crafting finely orchestrated, politically charged and anarchist-tinged pop-rock anthems, without so much as a glimpse from the mainstream media, Chumbawamba is now the sonic equivalent of The Full Monty: the little band that could, whose frantic and rousing live show is as fun as the music they play.
		With the light eerily glimmering off his shaved head, he thrashed around the stage like a frenzied primate in his well-tailored fl, devil’s pitchfork suit; it was just one of any number of costume changes and spirited antics that would be featured in the show.

		The way Chumbawamba explained it in a 1996 interview shows that their process is at least related to this transgressive act.
		Chumbawamba did more than write the song and distribute it (the song is available as a download on their website, www.chumbawamba.tv in the "illegal downloads" section); the band spoke out in the media against the MP3 uproar.
		In the end, Chumbawamba’s brand of irony demonstrates that the band doesn’t need original words and music to tell us how corrupt and inauthentic they think groups like Metallica are; Lars Ulrich does a better job on his own.

		Chumbawamba is one of these socially and politically concerned bands, frequently lumped in with groups like Crass, Poison Girls, Dead Kennedys, and Conflict.
		Another song relates the story of fl folklorist Zora Neale Hurston, who after driving through a red light explained to the racist judge that after watching all the white people crossing through green lights, she assumed that the red light was for her.
		Chumbawamba's website explains that "tubthumping" is: "Emma Goldman standing on a wall outside a New York factory, fist in the air, rallying people against their exploitation by weatlhy bosses." And liner notes for the album further salute the tubthumping of vegan activists, David Steele and Helen Morris:

		Chumbawamba may only be known by VH1 enthusiasts as that group with the really weird name, but Readymade And Then Some” is well worth getting over the weirdness of this talented musical outfit’s name.

		With 1990\'s Slap!, Chumbawamba began experimenting with sampling; the follow-up, to be titled Jesus H. Christ, was banned on the eve of its release after rights to cover versions of songs by Kylie Minogue, Paul McCartney and Abba were denied.
		Next it was the summer of Shhhlap!, which compiled the early Chumba releases Shh and Slap!, and then in June 2004 the band came through with UN, which built on the folktronic sound of Readymades and was as ideologically feisty as ever.

		Stall of the Wild: The ideologues in Chumbawamba have found a niche all their own: catchy tunes with overt political themes.
		LIKE MOBY, Chumbawamba consists of nonsmoking, nondrinking vegans with a pseudoreligious bent--only their religion happens to be politics, and it is a lot more fervent and upfront than Moby's.
		Truly, the mere fact that the confirmed anarchists of Chumbawamba have a hit is utterly ironic--a tribute to the band's artistic growth and to its longevity.

	LA IDEA FIJA - Discografía - Chumbawamba
		Chumbawamba, bajo el nombre de Scab Aid (Ayuda carnera) saca una semana más tarde su versión de Let it be con letras cambiadas para la ocasión ("nada vende más que el desastre", "esta compasión manufacturada se ahoga en la hipocresía", "estrellas pop llorando lágrimas falsas", etc.).
		Cuarto LP de Chumbawamba, que tomó por sorpresa a mucha gente, ya que pasaba de las armonías folk del anterior a un álbum muy influenciado por los rítmos dance y techno, aunque no por ello es "bolichero".
		El "LP perdido" de Chumbawamba, ya que cuando estaba a punto de aparecer varias amenazas de juicios por violación de copyrights (demasiados samples y "préstamos" de canciones ajenas) ponía a los Chumbawamba al borde del colapso económico.

		But before you call your local GM dealer to see if their latest models come with a "nuclear power, no thanks" bumper sticker fitted as standard, you should know that the world's largest automaker's status as benefactor to the anti-globalization movement actually came as a rather unpleasant surprise to the company.
		Before the deal was even signed, Chumbawamba's members were busily e-mailing activist groups to garner opinion about what to do with the "dirty" money.
		But, unperturbed by their one-hit-wonder status, the band have a new CD in the can, "readymades," which should be out in the U.S. on Universal later this year.

		Chumbawamba have their own voice, and these snapshots of England (Polaroids of Leeds, really) prove that pop and politics can make comfortable bedfellows.
		Chumbawamba is a most unlikely hit group - a co-ed U.K. collective best-known for their idiosyncratic, working-class polemics; they toiled in obscurity for many years.
		It became clear to me that this album was their most successful arguable because of the near-perfect mix of mainstream, slightly repetitive, melodically clean tunes, and their unrelenting and light-hearted cynicism towards the governments that run and ruin their world.

		From the attack on unions to the well crafted business propaganda campaigns, Chomsky provides us with a clear picture of how US Capital is leading us down a path of a two tiered society with islands of extreme wealth in a sea of poverty.

		The band’s sound may have changed over the years, but guitarist Boff and singer/percussionist Alice Nutter vehemently deny that their extreme political opinions (i.e., anarchism) and their roots in the British punk movement have changed.
		For Chumbawamba, pop music is merely a vehicle to relay their lyrics to the masses.
