An influential but
egocentric bunch of musicians from
Bristol in the UK.
Renowed for their offensive,
prima donna attitudes to the staff of all venues unlucky enough to put them on. In fact their split was partly down to the fact no promotor or venue would touch them in the end.
"After last night, there is NO WAY
Portishead are ever coming back to play here again"
(the management of
Bristols New
Trinity Arts Centre after a typical
portishead gig)
