I think it will be over soon. Over my investigation on the bands that appeared on the “Teeny Poppers” (SHOUBIDOUWA 01) cassette compilation that the Limoges-based label Anorak Records released in 1992.

I’ve written of quite a few by now. Also I don’t plan to write about all of them (maybe some day), but only about the bands I don’t know anything about, or very little about. That’s why I wrote lately about Monsieur de Foursaings, The Through Corners, Meek and today I will write about the British band The Music Scene.

Yes, they were British, Fabien mentioned that to me when I interviewed him. And I know it was formed by Roy Thirlwall, Pete Jarvis and Emma Saunders.

The song that they have on the compilation is a nice mellow track titled “Isabelle” that appears as the 5th track on the A side of the tape comp.

One wonders then who is this enigmatic Isabelle they dedicate the song. The name Isabelle is French, I’d say. Maybe it has to do with Isabelle from the band Caramel, the band Fabien from Anorak Records was in? Maybe it is a wild guess…

It is also worth noting that in 1991 the band appeared on the classic “The Waaaaaah!” CD released by Bring on Bull (BULL 3-0). On this legendary comp the band had contributed the track “Friend of a Friend”.

Other than what I’ve been able to share here there is no information about the band.

Who were behind this band? Are there more recordings? Anyone knows?
