[edit] History
Mohair features Pete Baker (drums, brass), Tom Billington (guitar, vocals), Alex Richards (keyboards, vocals), and Tim Slade (bass, vocals). The members of this rock quartet have played in various bands since their early teens, most notably a Commitments cover band. By 2000, Mohair was born and the four childhood friends were eager to make their rock & roll dreams a reality.
A quick deal with M1 Records in 2002 put Mohair on nearly every UK festival stage by summer 2004. Mohair went on to form their own Ear Candy imprint in 2005; singles such as "End of the Line" and "Stranded (in the Middle of Nowhere)" arrived before the year's end. In spring 2006, Mohair made their American performance debut at the annual South By Southwest Convention in Austin, Texas. Their debut album, Small Talk was released in the UK on April 24, 2006 and in the US on September 19, 2006.
