# ***The Charlatans Biography***

***"The Charlatans"*** are an English rock band formed in the **[West Midlands](https://cutt.ly/NIvCiHx)** in 1988 by bassist ***[Martin Blunt](https://cutt.ly/9IvCmt0)***, who recruited fellow West Midlanders ***[Rob Collins](https://cutt.ly/NIvCItb)*** (keyboards), ***[Jon Brookes](https://cutt.ly/wIvCJVe)*** (drums), Jon Day (guitar) and singer-guitarist ***Baz Ketley***. ***Ketley*** left the band and was replaced by singer ***[Tim Burgess](https://cutt.ly/pIvX8R9)***.

Although the ***Charlatans*** would later become popularly associated with the *[Madchester scene](https://cutt.ly/YIb7ZuY)*, the band's early demos recorded in 1988 in *Birmingham* and *Dudley* already evidenced the sound that the band ultimately became famous for, dominated by ***Collins*** *Hammond organ*.
With their fusion of 1960s *soul*, *R&B* and *garage rock*, the band saw themselves firmly in the West Midlands tradition that included Birmingham bands ***[The Spencer Davis Group](https://cutt.ly/EIvVvS7)*** and early ***[Dexys Midnight Runners](https://cutt.ly/UIvVQUl)***.

> The band’s seventh studio album ***“Wonderland”*** carved out a niche between classic *British rock* and *post-Madchester British dance*, and that's what made their music seem fresh for several different generations - they represented whatever you wanted to see within their distinctly British blend.
>
> The ***[“Us and Us Only”](https://cutt.ly/bIv2DB4)*** played to the rock side of the fence, while ***"Wonderland"*** is very heavy on groove and texture, a move that's strangely emphasized by ***Burgess'*** unexpected reliance on a falsetto.
> This can mean that the songs fade into the background, but that often seems like an intentional move, since it happens so frequently throughout a record where the surface remains stylish and sleek.
>
> Even so, this winds up as simply a good, solid ***Charlatans*** record, despite the efforts to jazz things up with a heavier dancefloor quotient. That may seem like a slight, but a solid ***Charlatans*** record still satisfies, and can't quite be taken for granted just yet.
