Bang! (hardcore)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Music sample:

Bang! were a British happy hardcore from the late 1990s consisting of producer Nick Arnold and female vocalist Jo James. Nick Arnold had previously been a member of the band Smart-Es, who reached 2 in the UK in 1992 with their cover of the theme tune to Sesame Street entitled Sesame's Treat. Their underground bouncy singles were regularly featured on the Bonkers compilation series.

Their single Shooting Star was covered by trance act Flip & Fill in 2002, who took it to number 3 in the UK charts.

Jo James eventually quit the band but worked with the aforementioned Flip & Fill on their 2003 single I Wanna Dance With Somebody; a cover version of the old Whitney Houston track.
