The Pale Fountains were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1980, and comprised of members Michael "Mick" Head (vocalist/guitarist), Chris McCaffery (bassist), Thomas Whelan (drummer) and former Dislocation Dance trumpeter Andy Diagram (horns). Inspired by 1960s music such as Love, Burt Bacharach and The Beatles they failed to make any commercial headway, despite garnering much critical praise for the two albums they released on Virgin, 1984's Pacific Street and 1985's ...From Across the Kitchen Table, produced by Ian Broudie, who later found fame with his band The Lightning Seeds. Their sole UK Singles Chart Top 50 single was the lavish "Thank You", which reached #48 in 1982.
