This article is about the experimental band. For other uses see
A band (disambiguation). The A Band are a
British musical collective formed in
Nottingham in the late 1980s. In 2005,
The Wire stated that "the importance of The A-Band to the UK rock underground is commensurate with the explosive impact that groups like
AMM,
SME or The People Band had on the
free jazz and Improv set. An ever-fluctuating group of artists, dole boys, punk conceptualists and record collectors, they were the first UK ensemble to anchor a free drone music in the muscle and scorch of the most high-energy rock, while keeping it as untutored as the most elemental folk."
