Match Day

Match Day was a super limited CD of football songs we gave away with copies of our Saint Etienne Subbuteo set.

Nothing can stop us now!

Trans-Europe Express

Three of my favourite people - no, I don’t mean me - swipe to see the third. Etienne Daho who I love dearly, Ronald Lippok who collaborated with us on ‘Sound Of Water’ and, of course, Bob!!
Not sure why Pete wasn’t here for this shoot, probably busy finishing the record!!

30 Years Ago Today The first test pressings for F

30 Years Ago Today

The first test pressings for Foxbase Alpha were made and the die was cast….

"It was so exciting to have actually made an album and to hold it and see the way the different tracks took up the spaces on each side and remind ourselves of the amusing messages we'd written in the run out grooves. Proud of what we'd made but not knowing what the future held.”
Pete Wiggs - June 10th 2021

“Being our first album, Foxbase Alpha was a scrapbook of our ideas and influences. UK psych, Detroit techno, northern soul, the Pet Shop Boys, the Beach Boys.
It was all recorded onto quarter inch tape, using an eight track mixing desk. That explains its DIY feel.”
Bob Stanley - June 10th 2021

"There really isn’t anything like the excitement of seeing your first vinyl album ever, hot off the press. At that point we didn’t even know if we’d have the opportunity to make another, let alone still be making them 30 years on! Forever Heavenly.”
Sarah Cracknell - June 10th 2021

So Tough

"These were taken on a houseboat on the Thames near Battersea owned by a similarly über cool friend of Joe Dilworth. I was so ahead of the game with my animal print top, but suffered for my art as it was really scratchy, and made from some heat amplifying, climate destroying fabric, which along with my large hair made for a slightly uncomfortable shoot on such a sunny summer's day.”

Like A Motorway

"Like A Motorway was written for our folk meets techno album 'Tiger Bay' and came out as a single exactly 27 years ago today.
The vocal melody comes from the ballad 'Silver Dagger' but I went with a gloomier approach for the lyrics. I'm pretty sure I was influenced by a Joyce Carol Oates short story as I was really into her writing at the time, I also remember that I thought that my then girlfriend Jane's foundation smelled like pebbles - so that made it into the lyric too!”

Happy birthday Pete Wiggs

Please join Sarah and Bob in wishing Pete a very happy birthday…..

"Wishing lovely Pete a very happy birthday. Such a kind, warm and bloody hilarious man. There really is no one who can match his sophisticated and smutty one-liners that help us while away the time spent travelling, recording and generally hanging around. It’s about time he wrote that book we’ve been pestering him about for years!
I hope you have a great day Pete. Lots of love Sarah xxx.”
Sarah Cracknell - 15th May 2021

"Some know him as Pepe Digits, some call him Pete the Greek, others call him 'Biffa'. Happy birthday Wiggsy, my oldest* and dearest mate. Pop star innit!
*Not actually as old as me.”
Bob Stanley - 15th May 2021

Green is the colour, football is the game

"You may at first glance think this is me in full Saint Etienne strip but I was actually doing my bit to support Ireland in the 1994 World Cup. Not sure why my hands are in that yoga position but I do love the long socks! Always been partial to long socks.”
