Elastica
One of the most prominent bands on the UK independent scene during the 90s, Elastica's line-up coalesced around Justine Frischmann (b. 16 September 1969, Twickenham, London, England; vocals/guitar), Donna Matthews (b. 2 December 1971, Newport, Wales; bass), Justin Welch (b. 4 December 1972, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England; drums) and Annie Holland (b. 26 August 1965, Brighton, England; guitar). Frischmann is the daughter of a prominent architect (her father built London's Centre Point skyscraper), and she attended a private school in London. Some of Elastica's original notoriety sprang from the fact that Frischmann was in an early incarnation of Suede and was romantically linked with that band's singer, Brett Anderson, then Blur's Damon Albarn. Indeed, one of Elastica's songs, "See That Animal" - the b-side to "Connection" - was co-written with Anderson when both attended University College London. They lived together in a dilapidated north London house while Suede looked for a recording contract. She left in October 1991 just before they were signed by Nude Records.
