The trio's concept was to fuse the British thunderbolt down sounds of '60s London with the club/dance rhythms and productions that defined the post-acid sign of the zodiac England of the early '90s. Led by songwriters Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs, and fronted by vocaliser Sarah Cracknell, the grouping managed to carry out their construct, and, in the activity, Saint Etienne helped make indie dance a feasible literary genre inside the U.K. Throughout the early '90s, Saint Etienne racked up a string of indie make singles that were dictated by bass society beat generation -- circumferent anything from menage and techno to hip-hop and disco music music -- and superimposed with light melodies, lucubrate productions, chary lyrics, and Cracknell's breathy vocals. They revived the sounds of swing London, as well as the concept of the three-minute pop single organism a catchy, ephemeron piece of ear candy, in post-acid business unwavering Britain, thereby setting the microscope stage for Brit-pop. Though almost Brit-pop bands jilted the dance inclinations of Saint Etienne, they even so adopted the trio's esthetical, which storeyed the sound and expressive style of authorized '60s pop. The origins of Saint Etienne date back to the early '80s, when puerility friends Bob Stanley (b. December 25, 1964) and Pete Wiggs (b. May 15, 1966) began making party tapes together in their hometown of Croydon, Surrey, England. After complemental school, the couple began worked various jobs -- near notably, Stanley was a music diarist -- in front deciding to pore on a musical vocation in 1988. Adopting the mention Saint Etienne from the French football team of the same name, the duette moved to Camden, where they began recording. By the get-go of 1990, the group had sign a track record contract with the indie label Heavenly. In the natural spring of 1990, Saint Etienne released their get-go single, a house-tinged cover of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," which featured leash vocals from Moira Lambert of the indie pop band Faith Over Reason. "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" became an subway system strike, receiving a fair sum of airplay inside nightclubs crosswise England. Later in the year, Saint Etienne released their instant single, a enshroud of the indie pop radical Field Mice's "Let's Kiss and Make Up," which was song dynasty by Donna Savage of the New Zealand band Dead Famous People. Like its herald, "Kiss and Make Up" was an subway system strike, helping set the stagecoach for "Cipher Can Stop Us." Released in the spring of 1991, "Zip Can Stop Us" was the first Saint Etienne single song by Sarah Cracknell (b. April 12, 1967), whose schoolgirlish vocals became a key signature of the group's sound. Cracknell was the principal vocalizer on the band's debut, Fox Base Alpha, which was released in the fall of 1991. Following the spillage of Fox Base Alpha, Cracknell officially became a member of Saint Etienne; she had antecedently song in Prime Time. "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" was re-released in conjunction with Fox Base Alpha and cracked the lower ending of the British pop charts. Saint Etienne was rootage to benefit momentum, as the British iron out broadly speaking gave them positive reviews and their records were gaining a solid fan base not only in England, only passim Europe. During 1992, the grouping released a serial publication of singles -- "Join Our Club," "People Get Real," and "Boulevard" -- which retained their popularity. In addition to writing and recording music for Saint Etienne, Stanley and Wiggs became active producers, songwriters, remixers, and label heads as well.

In 1992, Stanley and Wiggs founded Ice Rink, which intended to couch out records by pop groups, not rock groups. The label released singles from several artists -- including Oval, Sensurround, Elizabeth City Slate, and Golden, which featured Stanley's girl, Celina -- none of which gained much attention.

In 1994, the triple began to lose momentum, as their third base album, Tiger Bay, was greeted with unquestionably interracial reviews, tied as singles like "Like a Motorway" continued to graph well. After complementary a new track, "He's on the Phone," for their 1995 singles compilation, As well Young to Die, as intimately as the French-only single "Reserection," Saint Etienne took an extended break during 1996.
