外文名：Audience 国籍：英国 风格：艺术摇滚、前卫摇滚 简介：Audience is a cult British art rock band which existed between 1969 and 1972, and reformed in 2004. The original band consisted of Howard Werth (born Howard Alexander Werth, 26 March 1947, The Mother's Hospital, Clapton, East London) on nylon-strung electric acoustic guitar and vocals, Keith Gemmell (born Keith William Gemmell, 15 February 1948, Hackney Hospital, Hackney, East London) on tenor sax, flute and clarinet, bass guitarist and vocalist Trevor Williams (born Trevor Leslie Williams, 19 January 1945, Hereford, Herefordshire, and drummer/vocalist Tony Connor (born Anthony John Connor, 6 April 1947, Romford, Havering). 从艺历程：Audience had its roots in a semi-professional soul band named 'Lloyd Alexander Real Estate', which had included all the Audience members except Connor, who had unsuccessfully auditioned for the earlier band when John Richardson left to form The Rubettes. However, Werth, Williams, and Gemmell thought of Connor when they decided to form their new band. The 'Lloyd Alexander Real Estate' issued one 45rpm single on President PT157 in 1967: "Gonna Live Again"/"Watcha' Gonna Do (When Your Baby Leaves You)", a Mod R&B record. Within weeks of starting rehearsals, Audience had acquired management, a publishing contract, a residency at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, and a recording contract with Polydor, with whom they recorded their first album Audience, an acoustic guitar-driven album featuring Gemmell's saxophone often electrically altered to resemble an electric lead guitar and with string and horn arrangements by Andrew Pryce Jackman. But the band was dissatisfied with the record company's promotional approach (a single, "Too Late I'm Gone" from the album had been planned and was cancelled), and temporarily moved to Switzerland to avoid involvement in proposed publicity stunts. By the end of the year, the band was drawing public and journalistic acclaim for their songs, arrangements, and stage act. They had also been commissioned to write the score for Bronco Bullfrog, an East End skinhead film directed by Barney Platts-Mills, which established a genre subsequently taken up by Mike Leigh. 组合成员：霍华德·沃斯 (Howard Werth) - 吉他、歌手(1969–1972, 2004–2013) 特雷弗·威廉姆斯 (Trevor Williams) - 贝斯手、歌手、手风琴(1969–1972, 2004–2013) 托尼·康纳 (Tony Connor) – 鼓手、钢琴手、歌手(1969–1972) 基思·盖梅尔 (Keith Gemmell ) - 萨克斯、长笛、单簧管（1969–1972 年、2004–2013 年；2016 年去世） 尼克·贾德 – 键盘（1972） 帕特·查尔斯·纽伯格 - 萨克斯(1972) 约翰·费舍尔 (John Fisher) – 鼓手、歌手（2004–2008；去世） 西蒙·杰弗里 (Simon Jeffrey) – 鼓手、歌手（2008–2013）
