Biography

Songwriter, guitarist, performer and founder of post-punk band The Soft Boys (1977-1980), Robyn Hitchcock (b. 1953) launched his solo career in 1981 with the album Black Diamond Snake Role, followed by Groovy Decay and I Often Dream of Trains. Inspired by psychedelia and Syd Barrett in particular, this eccentric English rock dandy was appreciated by American alternative rock audiences for his sensibility, not devoid of British humor: Fegmania! (1985) with The Egyptians, Globe of Frogs (1988) and above all Queen Elvis (1989). Renowned for his writing talent and originality, Robyn Hitchcock pursues a regular career on various labels, recording Perspex Island (1991), Moss Elixir (1996), Jewels for Sophia (1999), Goodnight Oslo (2009), Propellor Time (2010) and The Man Upstairs (2014).
