[edit] Biography

[edit] Post-Stairs

Since the break up of The Stairs in the mid 90's, Edgar Jones has worked with Paul Weller, Johnny Marr (an early version of The Healers), St Etienne and Lee Mavers (of fellow Liverpudlian band The La's), as well as forming 'The Big Kids' who featured two of the future Zutons and Howie Payne of The Stands.

Ged Lynn formed with The Living Brain, starting as an acoustic duo with Lars Gabel pre 1997, and later adding Tom Sumnall, James Pagella, and Matt Lord. The band folded in late 2000. They contributed two tracks to Get Serious '97, a collection of material from Merseyside artists. The Living Brain also released two albums: Life Sentence On Planet Earth (Medical Records 1999), and Bad Present Day (Medical Records 2000). Lynn then formed Rhombus of Doom with Lee Webster in 2000.
