The songscrap producer and haunted vocalist who made the?Beta Band?one of the brightest lights in Great Britain's post-Brit-pop world,?Steve Mason?was born in Edinburgh and formed the group during the mid-'90s.?The Beta Band?was originally a duo consisting of?Mason?and?Gordon Anderson, although?Anderson?left the lineup shortly thereafter and the group coalesced around?Robin Joneson drums,?John Maclean?on keyboards, sampler and turntables, and?Richard Greentree?on bass. From that point onward,?Mason?served as the group's unofficial leader.
The Beta Band?earned heaps of critical praise with an opening salvo of three EPs, all released on?Regal?and leading up to the release of their acclaimed debut album, 1999's?The Beta Band.?(Their fame only grew after they were name-dropped in the film?High Fidelity?by?John Cusack, whose character claimed -- and then proved -- that he could immediately sell five copies of their EP collection?The Three E.P.'s?simply by playing one track.) The follow-up,?Hot Shots II, earned greater praise, although shortly after their third release, 2004's?Heroes to Zeros, the band announced their breakup.
Mason?had already debuted a solo project,?King Biscuit Time, late in 1998, and during the 18 months that followed the?Beta Band's breakup, he released a pair ofKing Biscuit?singles -- including?"C I AM 15,"?which reached number 67 on the British charts -- and a full album, 2006'sBlack Gold. One year later, he launched an electronica project called?Black Affair, and a techno-influenced LP titled?Pleasure Pressure Point?appeared on?V2?in 2008. He subsequently returned to a?Beta Band?format for his first album under his own name, a late-2009 single titled?"All Come Down."?The expected full-length album,?Boys Outside, with production help from?Richard X, appeared in 2010 on?Double Six, distributed by?Domino. ~ John Bush, Rovi
