2) Sparkee was born of the eclectic atmosphere of the Brighton (UK) music scene in the late '90s.
Once described as "Indie Lounge Pop" the melodic and haunting vocals coupled with intricate compositions and compelling shifts of time signature gives the band a presence that enraptures and relaxes the soul.
The core membership consisted of songwriter and keyboard player Will Calderbank, lead vocalist and flute player Hilary Jones, Russel Bond on drums, the bassist Steve Last and vocals plus percussion brought by Fiona Stokes.
At Church Road Studios in Hove in May of 1998 the band recorded the "Sparkee Get Lucky" EP. This featured some favourites such as "Winsday Blues" and "Dog".
Along the way, various guest members provided a plethora of new instrumental flavours to the sound and, in their final incarnation, Dan Tish joined as lead guitarist.
Shortly after the "Life Raft" EP was recorded (in 2000) the band split. Sadly, there have been no plans for a reunion.

The lyrics to Sparkee's song "Rock With Me" express a desire for escape and a carefree attitude towards life. The opening lines, "Been feeling crazy I just wanna play, Been tryna get to zero gravity" suggest a longing for liberation from the mundane and ordinary. The singer is seeking a sense of weightlessness and wants to experience a different reality, taking the listener to "another galaxy".
The lyrics also suggest a sense of rebellion and freedom in not conforming to societal expectations. The line "They don't know we weren't invited, We don't even need to hide it" implies that the characters in the song are outsiders, uninvited to the conventional spaces or events, but they embrace their exclusion and refuse to camouflage their true selves. It's a call to let go, move your body, and catch a vibe.
The chorus of the song repeatedly invites the listener to "Rock with me". Here, "rocking" signifies not only dancing or swaying to the music but also embracing the unconventional, letting go of inhibitions, and fully immersing yourself in the moment. The lyrics emphasize the joy of living in the present and finding solace in the company of others who share the same desire for liberation.
