The Producers is a supergroup[1] formed in 2006 by music producers and musicians Trevor Horn (bass and vocals), Lol Creme (guitar and vocals), Steve Lipson (guitar), Chris Braide (vocals and keyboards) and Ash Soan (drums).
The band started out playing covers like a pub band; their first gig was in Camden in November 2006, playing songs from the members' history (including "Video Killed The Radio Star" by The Buggles, Horn's first band) and songs the band members like. The band then decided to record an album. Being produced by Horn himself, under ZTT Records, they started recording their début album of original material in December 2006.
A second Camden gig in February 2007 followed a similar format to their first show, but also debuted two new songs, "Freeway" (the band's first single) and "Barking Up the Right Tree". At both live performances, the band was joined by percussionist Luis Jardim and a variety of guests joined for particular numbers (David Jordan, Bruce Woolley, Will Young and Anne Dudley in November and Jordan, Lucinda Barry and Jamie Cullum in February). A third Camden gig introduced two further new songs, "Your Life" and "Man on the Moon". A fourth gig at Camden's Jazz Cafe introduced further new songs from the band's forthcoming album including "You & I" "Waiting for the Right Time" and "Music from Bel Air" and featured a guest appearance from Tina Charles on the finale of Slave to the Rhythm.
Their debut album, Studio 1, is due on Stiff Records,[1] while the band play a short UK tour in October 2007.
