11 The Pastels (Galaxie 500 Collaborators)

Scottish "indie-pop" band who first came around in the mid 80s.
They were a big part of the C-86 scene in the UK - along with the
Wedding Present and the BMX Bandits - and forerunners of the
so-called "shambling" style: bands who wrote simple, heart-felt
pop songs, and couldn't play their instruments all that well...the
Pastels persevered, learned to play, and are generally considered
grandparents of modern twee/indie-pop.
Dean Wareham has guested on two Pastel's albums "Mobile Safari"
and "Illumination".
