In recent years he has made two albums with his other band, Grinderman. In 1999 he curated and directed the Meltdown Festival at London’s South Bank Centre. He has also written the soundtrack for several successful films including The Assassination of Jesse James, Lawless and The Proposition.

His second novel The Death of Bunny Monroe was published in 2009. He lives in Brighton with his wife and two children.
Often created in opposition to mainstream music, Indie or Indie Rock is the output of authentic bands that are producing music away from the big commercial labels. The movement is regarded as being created in the UK with the release of C86 tape by NME. The C86 tape was a collection of bands and included Primal Scream, The Wedding Present, The Soup Dragons and Half Man Half Biscuit. The indie scene spawned the Stone Roses and Oasis and more recently the Arctic Monkeys and Mystery Jets. We recommend John Robb’s The Stone Roses and Noel Gallagher’s High-Flying Birds –Any Road Will Get Us There.
