Charlatans UK

The Charlatans (known in the United States as Charlatans UK) are a British band. They originally formed in Birmingham, with Tim Burgess (a Northwich Lad) joining the line up the group then formed Dead Dead Good Records for the release of "Indian Rope" in 1990. The album was an indie hit and the group soon found a label in time for "The Only One I Know", a pop hit.

"Then" and Some Friendly were released later that year to great commercial and critical acclaim. The Charlatans were forced to add UK to the name for an American tour due to competing claims by a 1960s rock band (The Charlatans). Personnel changes caused a long gap before the release of10th & 11th. The third album, Up to Our Hips, was a return to form. The band's fifth album (Tellin' Stories) was released in 1997 to strong sales and reviews. Since then they have released Us and Us Only in 1999, Wonderland in 2001, Songs From The Other Side (a collection of b-sides and remixes) in 2002, and Live It Like You Love It (a live recording) also in 2002.
