This Elegant Chaos (The original indie band from 1997)

Formed in 1997 by Simon Bayliss and Gary Brown. Simon, bassist and Gary, vocalist had a handful of songs that needed a band of seasoned musicians to bring them alive. Gary recruited former band members of previous projects Lee Hughes & Rob Adams (guitarists) and Dave Robins (drums).

Within months the band were recording and playing live with several labels showing an interest. They released the first 7 Track EP “Hello Thane” on Quicksilver Records, quickly followed by there first album Virtue Circle released on Underground label Music & Elsewhere, a best seller for the cassette label. The album was then remastered and re-released on Quicksilver Records in cd format, re-intitled “Virtue Circle Revisted”, M&E dealing with distribution.

Probably the best work to date was the final album Magino Line also released on Quicksilver Records. Unfortunately Simon had to leave before the second album due to work commitments with Artist Naomi of Gut Records. This lead to ‘Sarge’ Mark Sargeant taking over bass duties.

This Elegant Chaos bowed out in 2001 after the previous years sell out gig at Ronnie Scott’s.

Early 2020 they were released again on Music & Elsewhere to celebrate the labels 30th anniversary. This was a collection of the labels favourite songs in a download format.

This is a compilation of the best tracks recorded and two previously unreleased tracks recorded for The Girl From Tiger Bay EP.
