The Woodentops

The band also started to become rawer and more unpredictable live, becoming one of the most exciting independent groups from the UK, while gaining an early hit on the burgeoning club scene in Ibiza with "Why."

Vocalist and guitarist Rolo McGinty, who also wrote all of the Woodentops' songs, resurfaced with the DJ band Pluto in the 1990s and the Dogs Deluxe electronica project, and also provided vocals for Gary Lucas's Gods and Monsters.

In October 2009, they performed in a special concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London's South Bank.

There, they also curated an exhibition of works by artist Panni Bharti and concerts by musicians Worm, Othon and Ernesto Tomasini.

Ten years later, they self-released another album of new music, Fruits of the Deep, which they supported with a limited UK tour.
