Fact #152607
When:
Short story:
Stump play at The Electric Ballroom, Camden Town, London, England, UK, Europe, supported by The Blue Aeroplanes. After this show, Stump break up.Full article:
Nigel Grainge (founder, Ensign Records) : Ensign has never had an overall strategy or carefully mapped-out plan. We were in the business of making the kinds of records we'd like to have in our own album collections,. We were not into pre-packaged radio fodder. Because of that, ours was a high-risk label and we had to be able to take failures in our stride. However, I've found that every cloud does have a silver lining. For example, the night that Stump broke up - onstage at a Christmas gig in Camden Town's Electric Ballroom in '88 - they were supported by a band called The Blue Aeroplanes who just blew us away. As it happened they were in the process of leaving Fire Records and within a couple of months they'd signed with us.
