Lost and Found Video - Fine Young Cannibals

Okay, so this isn't as obscure as many of the lost and found videos posted here, but it's not one you run into too much -- seems like if you're going to come across anything from Fine Young Cannibals, it's She Drives Me Crazy.


Fine Young Cannibals, formed in 1984 in Birmingham, UK, was comprised of Roland Gift (vocals) and former members of the English Beat, Andy Cox (guitar) and David Steele (Bass). The band released two albums before disbanding in 1992.

According to Roland Gift's official website, since the break-up of FYC, Gift has "dabbled in acting, modeling and hibernating, but excelled only in the later." He released a self-titled solo album in 2002, and is said to be working on another.

In 2002 Andy Cox along with singer Yukari Fujiu formed the band Cribabi, and released an album entitled Volume on his own record label.

Regarding David Steele, Wikipedia says "After the end of his work with Fine Young Cannibals, Steele went on to play a variety of other roles in the music industry. He produced Gabrielle's album Find Your Way, which reached #8 on the UK Albums Chart in 1993, as well as the soundtrack to the movie The Truth About Cats and Dogs in 1996. He has appeared on more than two dozen other albums, most commonly as a backing singer, but also as a guitarist, drummer, and mixer. In summer 2004, he released the album Fried, on which he collaborated with the New Orleans Louisiana vocalist Jonte Short." The band Fried released a second album, Things Change, in July of this year.
