White Town is a one-man band formed in 1989 by Indian-born Englishman Jyoti
Prakash Mishra. Influenced by Pixies, he initially formed the band with other
musicians, but found himself on his own in 1990. Somewhere between British
alternative rock and electro rock, White Town released Socialism, Sexism &
Sexuality in 1994, to little fanfare. Signed to EMI, White Town triumphed in
1997 with the song "Your Woman", which reached No. 5 in France and was followed
by the album Women in Technology. In conflict with his label, White Town
returned to theunderground and artistic independence...
