ʻO ka moʻolelo o ka hui Squeeze mai ka hoʻolaha ʻana o Chris Difford i loko o kahi hale kūʻai mele e pili ana i ke kiʻi ʻana i kahi hui hou. Ua hoihoi ia i ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻōpio ʻo Glenn Tilbrook.
Ma hope iki aku i ka makahiki 1974, ua hoʻohui ʻia ʻo Jules Holland (mea hoʻokani pila) a me Paul Gunn (mea hoʻokani pahu) i ka line-up. Ua kapa ʻia nā kāne iā lākou iho ʻo Squeeze ma hope o ka album "Underground" a Velvet.
Ua kaulana lākou ma Ladana e pāʻani ana i nā hale pāʻani maʻalahi. Ua hoʻohana nā kāne i nā kumu punk a me glam i kā lākou mele, ua hoʻohui maikaʻi ʻia ka pōhaku kiʻi me nā mele pop maʻamau. Ma keʻano laulā, palupalu nā mele, hoʻomanaʻo iā John Lennon lāua ʻo Paul McCartney.
ʻElua makahiki ma hope mai, i ka makahiki 1976, ua komo ʻo Harry Caculli i ka hui e hoʻokani ana i ke kīkā bass, ma kahi o Paul Gunn, ua hoʻokani ʻo Gilson Lavis (ex-manager o Chuck Berry).
Unwind musicians Squeeze
Ua hoʻopaʻa nā kāne i ʻelua mau mele no RCA Records. Akā,ʻaʻole i lawe mai ka hana pono'ī i ka hopena i makemakeʻia a ua hōʻoleʻia nā mele,ʻaʻole i hoʻokuʻuʻia i ka lehulehu. A laila hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻo Squeeze i kahi ʻaelike me ka inoa hou BTM, nona ka Michaels Copland.
Ua banekorupa ka hui mele i ka makahiki 1977. Ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo Copland me ka lālā Velvet ʻo John Cale e kōkua i ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka album no nā mea hoʻokani pila. A i kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ke mele mele mua i kapa ʻia ʻo "Packet of Three" mai ka hale ʻo Deptford Fun City Records. Hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻo John Cale i kahi kuʻikahi no Squeeze me A&M Records, nāna i hana mua me ka Sex Pistols.
Loaʻa i ka poʻe hoʻokani pila ka haku mele "Take Me I'm Yours". Ua ukali ʻia e ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka album mua "Squezze". Ua hoʻololi iki ʻo Cale i ke kani o ka hui, i mea hoihoi a ʻokoʻa hoʻi mai nā mele pā hale.
Nā lanakila mua o Squeeze
Ua kaulana ka honua i ka hui me ka lua o ka disc "Cool for Cats", a me ka "6 Squeeze Songs Crammed Into One Ten-Inch Record". Ma hope o kēlā, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Harry Caculli mai ka hui, ua pani ʻia ʻo ia e John Bentley.
I ka makahiki 1980, ua hoʻokuʻu nā kāne i kā lākou album hou, ʻo Argybargy. Ua loaʻa i ka hana nā loiloi maikaʻi; Ua hauʻoli ka poʻe hoʻohewa a me ka poʻe hoʻolohe. ʻO nā mele mai ia mea ʻo "Another Nail In My Heart", a me "Pulling Mussels". Ua hoʻokani ʻia kēia mau mele ma nā hui US a me nā lekiō kaulana.
Eia nō naʻe, ua kū ikaika ke ʻano pāʻani o Holland mai ke kani holoʻokoʻa. I ka makahiki 1980, ha'alele 'o ia i ka hui, e hana ana i kāna papahana pono'ī "Millionaires". Ua hoʻolimalima ʻo Squezze iā Paul Carrack ma kahi.
Ua loaʻa i ka hui nā mea hana hou - ʻo Elvis Costello lāua ʻo Roger Behirian, me ke kōkua o ka album "East Side Story" i hoʻokuʻu ʻia. Loaʻa iā ia nā loiloi maikaʻi loa, akā ʻaʻole lawa ka pane pāʻoihana. Ua haʻalele ʻo Carrack i ka line-up i ka makahiki 1981 a ua pani ʻia ʻo ia e Don Snow.
ʻO ka hāʻule a me ke ola hou ʻana o ka hui
I kēia manawa ua paʻa mau ka poʻe mele i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā haku mele hou, nā huakaʻi a me nā ʻahamele. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, hoʻomaka nā kāne e holo i waho o ka mahu, a ua ʻike ʻia i kā lākou hana "Sweets From a Stranger". Ma ʻAmelika, lawe ʻo ia i 32 mau laina.
I ka makahiki 1982, ua pāʻani ʻo Squeeze ma New York, akā ʻaʻole i ʻike nā poʻe i ka leo o ka ʻaha mele. A i ka hopena, ma hope o kekahi mau mahina, ua haki ka hui. Ma keia manao, i ka lanakila compilation "Singles - 45 a me lalo" ua hoʻokuʻuʻia, i loko oʻEnelani i lawe i ka incredible 3 laina o ka pakuhi, a hele platinum i loko o ka States.
ʻOiai ka make ʻana o ka hui, ua hoʻomau ʻo Difford lāua ʻo Tilbrook i ka hana ʻana i nā hui like. Ua ʻike ʻia kā lākou hana ma nā album a Helen Shapiro, Paul Young, Jules Holland a me Bill Bremner. Ua hoʻokumu pū nā mea hoʻokani i ka hoʻonohonoho holoʻokoʻa no ka mele mele "Labeled With Love", i hoʻokumu ʻia ma ʻEnelani i ka makahiki 1983.
Ua hoʻi ka hui e hana pū i ka makahiki 1984 me kahi album hou, ʻo Difford & Tilbrook. Ua hōʻike ka album i ke ʻano like, akā ua hoʻolōʻihi nā kāne i ko lākou lauoho a hoʻokomo i nā ʻaʻahu ua. Ua hui hou ka hui ma 1985 me kahi mea pāʻani bass hou ʻo Keith Wilkinson.
Ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka hui
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka disc "Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti", i lanakila maikaʻi ma waena o nā mea hoʻohewa a me nā mea hoʻolohe. ʻAʻole naʻe i kūʻai maikaʻi ʻia e like me ka pono. Hoʻohui ʻia kahi keyboardist hou i ka hui - Andy Metcalfe, ka mea i pāʻani mua ma The Egyptians.
Me ia, ua hoʻopaʻa nā kāne i ka mele mele kaulana loa "Babylon and On". Ua piʻi ke ala i ka helu 14 ma UK. Ua piʻi ka mele "Hourglass" i ka helu 15 ma US. Hoʻomaka ʻo Squeeze i kāna huakaʻi honua, a ma hope ua hoʻoholo ʻo Metcalfe e haʻalele i ka hui.
ʻO ka moʻolelo ʻo "Frank", i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka makahiki 1989, ua aneane hiki ʻole i ka UK a me ka US. Hele ka hui i ka huakaʻi no ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka diski, a ma ia manawa ua hoʻopau ka studio A&M i ka launa pū ʻana me nā mea mele.
Ma hope o ka hoʻi ʻana mai ka huakaʻi, haʻalele ʻo Holland iā Squeeze a hoʻomaka e alualu i kāna ʻoihana ponoʻī, e hui pū ana me ka hana ma ke kīwī. No nā makahiki he nui ma hope mai, ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻo ia i kahi papahana mele kaulana.
Hui i ka makahiki 90
I ka makahiki 1990, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi album me nā hoʻopaʻa leo ola i kapa ʻia ʻo "A Round and a Bout" ma ke kumu o IRS Records, a hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai ua kau inoa ka hui mele i kahi ʻaelike me Reprise Records. Me lākou, hana ka hui i kahi diski hou "Play", kahi i pāʻani ai ʻo Steve Neve, Matt Irving a me Bruce Hornsby ma ke ʻano he keyboardists.
Ua hāʻawi ʻo Difford lāua ʻo Tilbrook i ka makahiki 1992 i nā ʻaha mele e pili ana i ke kani acoustic. ʻAʻole kēia i hoʻopilikia i nā hana o "Squeeze". Ua paʻa ʻo Steve Neave i ka hui, ma kahi o Gilson Lewis i pāʻani iā Pete Thomas.
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, hoʻomaka ka poʻe mele i kā lākou hui pū ʻana me A&M, kahi e hoʻopaʻa ai lākou i kā lākou disc aʻe, ʻo Some Fantastic Place. Loaʻa iā ia ka pōmaikaʻi ma kāna kamaʻāina UK, akā ma ʻAmelika ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā ia ka manaʻo i makemake ʻia.
Ua pani ʻia ʻo Pete Thomas e Andy Newmark a ke hoʻi nei ʻo Keith Wilkinson e pāʻani bass. Me kēia laina i ka makahiki 1995, hana ka hui i kahi moʻolelo hou "Ridiculous".
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā hōʻiliʻili like ʻelua ma nā kahakai like ʻole o ka moana: "Piccadilly Collection" ma ʻAmelika a me "Excess Moderation" ma ʻEnelani.
I ka makahiki 1997, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo A&M i kahi hōʻiliʻili o nā album me nā diski 6 i kākau hou ʻia o ka hui i kahi kani hou. E hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi hui hou i ka makahiki 1998, akā ma muli o ka pani ʻana o ka lepili ua kāpae ʻia nā mea a pau. I ka makahiki 1998, ua ho'opa'a 'o Squeeze i ka album "Domino" i loko o ke keena hou Quixotic Records.
Ua hoʻoholo hope nā kāne e hoʻōki i kā lākou hana hoʻomohala hui i ka makahiki 1999, ua ʻākoakoa wale lākou ma 2007 no kahi huakaʻi o ʻAmelika a me UK.
