Kilgore Trout

Kilgore Trout was a British alternative rock band that was based in Nottingham and Sheffield in the north of England between 1985 and 1991. In that time Kilgore Trout released two EPs, contributed eight tracks to two compilation LPs, and appeared on a flexidisc that came free with the fanzine Ablaze!
The band's mainstay was Chris Trout, a seminal figure in the British alternative music scene, who has also worked with Bear, A.C. Temple, Spoonfed Hybrid, Lazerboy, Coping Saw and Smokers Die Younger.
Trout wrote the songs and played most of the instruments in Kilgore Trout. He also recorded over 50 four-track demos for the band that were never released at the time.

Peel played the band's debut single ('Stick It In The Bank Man') in October 1986 and would play further records from the group until the late 80's. He also played records from A.C. Temple who Chris Trout later joined.
