Lloyd Cole is probably best known for his work as front man and songwriter for UK band The Commotions in the mid 1980s. The Commotions garnered a reputation for producing such classics of literate pop song-craft as “Perfect Skin” and “Rattlesnakes.” During the 90s he relocated to New York City and produced a series of fine solo albums working with some of the best musicians of the time. Around 2000 he joined up with Jill Sobule and others to record and tour as a group called The Negatives. Recently however, he has chosen to become more of a singer songwriter, recording and touring solo, based out of his new home in Massachusetts.
