On this day, 4 August 2001, Bristol electronic group Kosheen played Cardiff’s Big Weekend.
The group consist of singer-songwriter Sian Evans, songwriter-producer Ron Mcelroy and drummer Mitchell Glover. The name Kosheen derives from the name of a North American Apache warrior, Cochise. In Japan, it was discovered that a combination of the Japanese words for "old" (古, romanised transliteration "ko") and "new" (新, "shin") would make "Kosheen" in Japanese.
Their first album, Resist, was released in September 2001 on Moksha Recordings/BMG and reached number eight in the UK album chart.
The band, with Sian at the helm, garnered 5 studio albums and earned themselves the reputation of being one of the most iconic performing bands of their time.
