Sidi Bou Said were a London-based alternative rock band, who existed during the 1990s, formed by Claire Lemmon, Lee Howton, Gayl Harrison and Melanie Woods.[1] Their music combined an indie rock/folk sound with complex arrangements and literate lyrics. They were often compared to Throwing Muses and the Pixies, with whom they shared a taste for sometimes uncomfortable lyrical themes - murder, religion, the workings of the human body and surrealist stories and films.[citation needed] Their name comes from a town in Tunisia.
