Lupine Howl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lupine Howl were formed in Bristol, England in 1999 by Sean Cook (vocals, bass), Mike Mooney (guitar) and Damon Reece (drums). The three had been dismissed from their respective roles in Spiritualized by frontman Jason Pierce.
The first single 'Vaporizer' came out in 2000 on their own Vinyl Hiss label. This was followed by a deal with Beggars Banquet Records and an LP, The Carnivorous Lunar Activities of Lupine Howl in 2001. The Bar At The End Of The World followed in 2002, which featured Johnny Mattock on percussion.
The group disbanded before a third LP could be recorded and Sean Cook now records as The Flies.
[edit] Miscellanea
Lupine Howl spent some time working with fellow Bristolians Massive Attack in 2000, assisting them with recording sounds for their upcoming fourth album, which was eventually released as 100th Window in 2003. However, Massive Attack opted to not use any of the material from those sessions.
The band received some attention following their acrimonious split with Jason Pierce after Courtney Love had claimed Mooney had taken her virginity while she followed The Teardrop Explodes in Liverpool in the 1980s, which he denies [1].
