McAlmont & Butler: The Band That Likes To Play... 'YES'!

Paul Lester, Melody Maker, 3 June 1995

DAVID McALMONT used to be in the lavishly praised but commercially unsuccessful THIEVES. The he formed the even more lavishly praised, though still commercially unsuccessful, McALMONT. Now he's together with BERNARD BUTLER of the lavishly praised and commercially successful SUEDE to form McALMONT & BUTLER, currently in the Top 10 with the brilliant, ebullient 'Yes'. PAUL LESTER meets the duo and finds out why David McAlmont left Guyana and why Bernard Butler left Suede.
