The Seahorses
Dave Thompson, Alternative Press, 1997
IT'S AMAZING what you can pack into a year. Take John Squire for example: he made an album and jammed with Oasis. He worked with David Bowie's old producer, and launched a street musician to fame and fortune. Oh, and he left the most eagerly feted, and patiently awaited, band of the decade, without having a clue what he wanted to do. It makes you wonder what he does when he's feeling really busy.
