Uma sikhuluma ngamabhendi e-rock yehlelo lasekuqaleni kwawo-1960, khona-ke lolu hlu lungaqala ngebhendi yaseBrithani Abaseshi. Ukuze uqonde ukuthi leli qembu likhulu kangakanani, vele ulalele izingoma: Amaswidi Omnandi Wami, Ushukela Nezinongo, Izinaliti namaphini kanye nethi Ungalahli Uthando Lwakho.
Abaseshi bavame ukufaniswa nama-Beatles adumile. Abaculi abazange bacasulwe ukuqhathaniswa, kodwa babesagxile ekuqalekeni kwabo.
Umlando wokudalwa nokwakhiwa kweqembu Abaseshi
Imvelaphi yeqembu nguJohn McNally noMike Pender. Iqembu lasungulwa ngo-1959 eLiverpool. Igama elithi The Searchers lithathwe ku-1956 Western The Searchers, elidlala noJohn Wayne.
Ibhendi ikhule iphuma eqenjini le-skiffle lakuqala elakhiwe nguMcNally nabangane bakhe uBrian Dolan noTony West. Abaculi ababili bokugcina baphelelwa yintshisekelo eqenjini. Ngemuva kwalokho uMike Pender wajoyina uJohn.
Ngokushesha elinye ilungu lajoyina abafana. Sikhuluma ngoTony Jackson, owazi kahle kahle isiginci se-bass. Ekuqaleni, abaculi babecula ngaphansi kwegama lokuqamba elithi Tony kanye ne-Search, noJoe Kelly ezinsimbini ezishaywayo.
U-Kelly wahlala isikhashana eqenjini elincane. Umculi wavumela uNorman McGarry. Ngakho-ke, ukwakheka noMcNally, Pender, Jackson kanye noMcGarry kubizwa ngokuthi "igolide" ngabagxeki bomculo.
UMcGarry washiya ibhendi ngo-1960. Indawo yomculi yathathwa nguChris Crummi. Ngawo lowo nyaka, uBig Ron walishiya leli qembu. Esikhundleni sakhe kwathathwa uBilly Beck, owashintsha igama lakhe waba nguJohnny Sandon.
Imidlalo yokuqala yebhendi entsha yenzeke e-Iron Door Club eLiverpool. Abaculi bazibiza ngoJohnny Sandon kanye nabaSesha.
Ngo-1961, uSandon wamemezela umhlalaphansi wakhe kubalandeli. Uthole ukuba ku-The Remo Four kunemali eningi. Futhi angizange ngibe nephutha ekuqageleni kwami.
Indlela yokudala yabaseshi
Iqembu laguqulwa laba yi-quartet. Ilungu ngalinye leqembu lacula izingoma. Igama lifushaniswe kwaba Sesha. Abaculi baqhubekile nokudlala e-Iron Door Club nakwamanye amakilabhu e-Liverpool. Bakhumbule ukuthi kusihlwa babekwazi ukwenza amakhonsathi amaningi ezikhungweni ezahlukene.
Ngokushesha abaculi basayina inkontileka enemali eningi neStar-Club yaseHamburg. Inkontileka iveze ukuthi amalungu eqembu abephoqelekile ukuthi acule kulesi sikhungo, adlale ikhonsathi yamahora amathathu. Inkontileka ithathe isikhathi esingaphezudlwana kwezinyanga ezintathu.
Lapho inkontileka iphela, abaculi babuyela endaweni ye-Iron Door Club. Iqembu laqopha izikhathi, ngokushesha zawela ezandleni zabahleli be-studio yokuqopha i-Pye Records.
Khona-ke uTony Hutch wahlanganyela ekukhiqizeni iqembu. Isivumelwano kamuva sanwetshwa nabakwaKapp Records base-US ukuze badayise amarekhodi abo eMelika. UTony wadlala izingxenye ezithile kupiyano. Waphawulwa kwamanye amathrekhi. Ngaphansi kwegama mbumbulu uFred Nightingale, uTony Hutch wabhala ingoma yesibili ephuma ku-Sugar and Spice.
Ngemuva kokukhishwa kwe-XNUMX% hit Needles and Pins, uTony Jackson walishiya iqembu. Umculi wakhetha umsebenzi eyedwa. Indawo yakhe ithathwe nguFrank Allen kaCliff Bennett kanye namaRebel Rousers.

Ekuqaleni kwawo-1970 kanye neqembu le-Sechers
Ekuqaleni kwawo-1970, leli qembu laqala ukuba nezimbangi. Abaculi abakwazanga ukugcina ibha efanayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ayengasekho amahithi asobala.
Abaseshi baqhubekile nokuqopha amathrekhi e-Liberty Records kanye namarekhodi e-RCA. Lesi sikhathi simakwe ngokubambisana neChicken in a Basket kanye ne-US spin-off hit ngo-1971 noDesdemona.
Iqembu lihambele izindawo eziningi. Ngokushesha imizamo yabaculi yavuzwa. Ngo-1979, iSire Records yasayina ibhendi esivumelwaneni sama-albhamu amaningi.
I-discography yebhendi yaseBrithani igcwaliswe ngamaqoqo amabili. Sikhuluma ngamarekhodi e-Searchers and Play for Today (ngaphandle kwase-England, irekhodi lokugcina lalibizwa nge-Love's Melodies).
Womabili ama-albhamu athakaselwa kakhulu ngabagxeki bomculo. Naphezu kwale misebenzi, awazange afake amashadi. Kodwa ukuhlanganiswa kwavuselela abasesheli.
I-Sechers isayina ne-PRT Records
Ngokushesha kwaba nolwazi lokuthi abaculi baqophe i-albhamu yesithathu yesitudiyo. Iqoqo lalizobizwa ngokuthi Sire. Nokho, ngenxa yokuhlelwa kabusha kwelebula, inkontileka yanqanyulwa.
Ekuqaleni kwawo-1980, ibhendi yasayina ne-PRT Records. Abaculi baqale ukuqopha i-albhamu. Kodwa kwakhululwa eyodwa kuphela ethi, I don’t Want To Be The One (ngokubamba iqhaza kweqembu laseHollywood). Amanye amaculo afakwe eqoqweni lango-2004.
Ngemuva kokukhululwa, uMike Pender washiya iqembu ngehlazo. Umculi udale iphrojekthi kaMike Pender's Searchers. Esikhundleni sikaMike kwathathwa umculi osemusha uSpencer James.
Ngo-1988, ibhendi yasayina neCoconut Records. Ngokushesha i-discography yeqembu yaphinde yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu entsha, Izinhliziyo Ezilambile. I-albhamu ihlanganisa izinguqulo ezenziwe kabusha zezinaliti nezikhonkwane kanye namaswidi Wamaswidi Ami, kanye nenguqulo ebukhoma yethi Somebody Told Me You were Crying. Iqoqo lamukelwe ngemfudumalo abalandeli nabagxeki bomculo.
Abaseshi namuhla
Ibhendi yajikeleza kakhulu ngeminyaka yawo-2000 u-Eddie Roth ethatha indawo ka-Adamson. Abaseshi sebengelinye lamaqembu afunwa kakhulu esikhathi sethu. Abaculi baxube ngobuchule imiphumela kagesi nomsindo we-acoustic.
Ngo-2018, amalungu eqembu amemezele ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokuthi athathe umhlalaphansi. Badlale uhambo lokuvalelisa olwadonsa kwaze kwaba ngu-2019. Abaculi abazange bakuvimbe ukuthi kube nohambo lokuhlangana kabusha.
