Biography
Finitribe was formed in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1984 by Chris Connelly, John Vick, Andy McGregor, Philip Pinsky, David Miller and Simon McGlynn, with Connelly as vocalist and Vick on keyboards. The group first attracted attention with the selfâreleased EP "Curling and Stretching" in 1984, followed by the EP "Let The Tribe Grow" in 1986 on Cathexis, which featured the Balearicâhouse track "De Testimony". In 1989 the band signed with One Little Indian and issued the album Grossing 10K, a critique of consumer culture that led to controversy with McDonaldâs. The breakthrough came in 1992 with An Unexpected Groovy Treat, supported by singles such as "Ace Love Deuce" and "Forevergreen" which went to number 51 in the UK, remixed by Andrew Weatherall and Graham Massey. Subsequent releases included Sheigra in 1995 on FFRR and Sleazy Listening in 1998 on Infectious/Mushroom, the latter featuring collaborations with Paul Haig and Little Annie. After touring extensively, the band disbanded in 1998; the members pursued other projects. In 2014 the group reissued "De Testimony" on limited vinyl, and a compilation, The Sheer Action of Fini Tribe: 1982â1987, is scheduled for release in Octoberâ¯2025.
