The Rainkings

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rainkings were an indie band formed in 1989 by former members of Inspiral Carpets and The Bodines.[1] Stephen Holt had been the original singer in Inspiral Carpets, performing on their first few releases, including the Planecrash EP, but left, along with Dave Swift in 1989, forming The Rainkings along with ex-Bodines drummer John Rowland, and bassist Carl Wolstenholme. The band released two singles on Playtime Records in 1989 and 1990, and continued with various line-up changes until the late 1990s.

John Rowland went on to join Jackson Sundown.
