Episode 241 - The... Band That Emerged and is Better Known for the Later Success of its Members Than For Their Own Music Mixtape

We really need to come up with a much better name for this weird phenomenon. This week’s episode is inspired by a little known Glasgow(ish) band called Julia Thirteen, an act that gained some prominence in the mid-00s, signed to a major label then vanished into obscurity, only for all of their members to turn up in a bunch of different acts. In some cases, these were acts which were significantly more successful. We get into all of that in this episode.

We use this band to talk about other artists that have had the same fortune. Examples include Big In Japan, Green River and….well, so fucking many more to be honest. We dive into a whole bunch of those in this episode whilst also wondering just what the hell to call this thing. Any thoughts? Let us know!
