Howling Bells
Howling Bells was formed by three former members of Australian group Waikiki (sister and brother Juanita Stein and Joel Stein, and Glenn Moule). After recruiting bassist Brendan Picchio, the band moved to England to record their eponymous debut album in Liverpool, with producer Ken Nelson. Recording of the album was delayed for several months as Nelson was preoccupied working with Coldplay. In the meantime the band lived together in one room in a house in London and took menial employment. Guitarist Joel Stein later told smh.com.au: "We stole to eat when we first moved to Britain."
