| Acid Brass, 1997, involved a traditional Northern England brass band--the kind that continues to define mining communities even after the mines have closed--playing (and releasing an album of) classic acid-house anthems, thus achieving the convergence of what Deller considers the two defining social phenomena of '80s Britain: acid house and the miners' strike. The gender-bending pop star was promoting a new album, Tense, Nervous Headache; was singing the praises of acid-house music; and, having kicked the drug habit, was completely open about his sexuality. Unlike the young lads in Coldplay, Doves are somewhat grizzled, owing to already being veterans of Manchester's fabled acid-house scene a decade ago as the act Sub Sub. |
