Audience were a unique example of 'Britishness' in rock, a quirky not what you expect band who dared to do things sonically no one else at the time were doing.
Discovered by the Legendary Tony Stratton-Smith of the equally legendary Famous Charisma Label at a Led Zeppelin concert they were within a fingertip of super stardom when it all went pear shaped.
Legendary Elektra Records boss loved this band and wanted to replace The Doors with them as Elektra's house band. When that didn't work he wanted their singer to join The Doors.
