Biography
Longpigs, from Sheffield, was one of the more memorable bands who rose to fame on the fringe of Britpop in the 1990s, comprising Crispin Hunt (vocals), Richard Hawley (guitar), Simon Stafford (bass) and former Cabaret Voltaire member Dee Boyle (drums). The band name refers to the literal translation of the word for 'human' or 'person' from cannibal tribal language.
The group initially signed with Elektra Records in 1993. However, just before they released their first single, two tragedies struck the band.
