Big Star
Big Star was a group worship states-unien of Rock of the beginning of the year 1970. These four musicians had taken again this name of group of a large chain of supermarkets American.
Accommodated with a total indifference at the time of their short career, they will be quoted like having had a major influence by the majority of the alternative groups American of the years 1980, of R.E.M. to the Replacements.
Formed with Memphis in 1971 by Beautiful Chris and Alex Chilton, the ex- singer of the Box Signals, they will record only three albums before separating in 1974.
Chris Bell had already left the group after the first album and had died in an car accident before even the end of the group.
Big Star is reformed by Chilton and Stephens in 2005 with the assistance of Ken Stringfellow and John Auer of the Posies.
