Formed in Huntingdon Cambridgeshire after drummer Simon Scott met Guitarist Graham Garduilo in local band The Giant Polar Bears. They were tour buddies to Ride and most of the late 1980s shoegaze bands. Simon Scott was stolen by Slowdive after a gig at the White Horse in Hampstead in 1990, where the Boo Radleys opened the three-band bill. They split after releasing two albums and have just had a Best Of... released by Cherry Red. John Peel loved them and NME gave debut album lovehappy 9 out of 10.
These are photos from concerts where The Charlottes played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
