The Maisonettes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Maisonettes were a one-hit band whose debut single, "Heartache Avenue", reached number 7 on the UK singles chart in 1982, and later peaked at number 12 on the Canadian charts in early 1983. No further Maisonettes singles charted, and the group soon disbanded.

"Heartache Avenue" was later sampled by UK rap group Roll Deep for the chorus on their UK Top 40 hit, "The Avenue".

In 2004 the album "Heartache Avenue: The Very Best of the Maisonettes" was released, containing two unreleased tracks, the original 'Heartache Avenue' and a remix (which is 2% too slow), and 15 other songs.
