The Brilliant Corners were a British indie pop band from Bristol who recorded throughout the 1980s and into the early 1990s.
[1] The group was formed in 1983, taking the name from the Thelonious Monk jazz album, Brilliant Corners.
[3] With an explosion of indie pop groups in 1986, their May release Fruit Machine EP gained them both attention and radio airplay, followed by a second mini-album, What's In A Word.
The video, featuring Woodward running Rix-like around a couch with his trousers around his ankles, was shown on The Tube, further raising the band's profile.
[2] In March 1988, the band set up another label, McQueen, and released third album, Somebody Up There Likes Me,[1] followed by a collection of their sought-after early singles, Everything I Ever Wanted.
