About

Members: Anton Daniels, Luke Baldry, Robin Goodridge, David Maskrey, Tuggy Lane, Philip Rich, Chris Chunn, Duncan Kane

A British techno-dance group commissioned in 1990 by Alan Douglas, legendary record producer and former creative head of the Jimi Hendrix Estate, having been granted permission to sample any Jimi Hendrix song they wished. It all began when Singer/Guitarist turned Acid House promoter Duncan Elder aka Dukane teamed up with Keyboardist/Studio Tech Whizz Luke Baldry, and created a one-off Hendrix… Read moresampled house track that found its way to Eric Clapton. Eric initially wanted to release the track but on managerial advice generously passed it on to Alan Douglas (who ironically had been looking for an “environment” for the sampling of Hendrix at that time). Douglas gave the gig to Kane and Baldry, the boys decided to name the band after Kane’s Acid House promotion company “Beautiful People”, a name inspired by and attributed to author Ken Kesey and his team of 60’s The Merry Pranksters (5). An album, [r=2067765], was completed in July 1992 with live drums recorded by Robin Goodridge (later of BUSH fame) and first released in 1993. In '94 Beautiful People toured Europe supporting Hawkwind, then on the personal request of Noel Gallagher toured the UK on the Oasis “Definitely Maybe” tour.
