A North London quartet that formed around 2005, Operahouse (Johnny Lloyd -- vocals and guitar, Alexander Kaines -- guitar and vocals, Jimmy Cratchley -- bass, and Ben Niblett -- drums) released their first single, "Man Next Door," to great response, earning plaudits and airplay from such stations as BBC 6, Xfm, and Radio 2's Jonathan Ross. The band released its second single, "Born a Boy," on Marrakesh Records, and in addition to getting even more airplay, scored rave reviews in the renowned music magazine NME. In 2008 the band released single number three, "Diane," which was also well received. ~ Chris True
