Broccoli
Broccoli were a Scottish punk rock band from Dundee. They released two studio albums and two Peel sessions for BBC Radio 1, creating music that merged elements of emo with elements of indie rock and pop music.
Formed in 1989, under the name Pondlife, the band's original run was less than a year. Reformed in early 1991, the band's first consistent lineup was Graeme Gilmour (drums), Paul Ross (bass) and Grant Myles (vocals, guitar). When Ross departed in 1993, his role was filled by Benni Esposito. The band spent much of the following years touring mainland Europe and Japan. They grew a fanatic following in Japan, a phenomenon which NME labelled "Broccolimania". They relocated to London in 1997. Following a 1998 mainland Europe tour, the band disbanded. They briefly reformed in 2002, performing at a fundraiser for Martin House Hospice, held at Josephs Well in Leeds, then again in 2016 for a tour of Japan.
