Performance and Cocktails is Stereophonics second album. It was released by V2 March 8, 1999.
The album was a surprise commercial success giving the phonics three straight top ten singles in the British charts with "The Bartender and the Thief" reaching number three, and both "Just Looking" and "Pick a Part That's New" reaching number four. The album was sponsored by Fender guitars used throughout the album, a brave move from an "indie" band.
All three members of the band were given equal credit for writing all the songs on this album.
[edit] Recording
The songs were variously recorded at Real World Studios in Bath, Parkgate in Sussex and Rockfield in Monmouth.
