| The Silencers are a Scottish rock band formed in London in 1986.Often compared to Scottish bands with a similar sound like Big Country, Del Amitri and The Proclaimers, The Silencers have distinguished themselves with their eclectic sounds, prolific output and continued career.History
Before forming The Silencers, vocalist Jimme O'Neill and guitarist Cha Burns were active in London's new wave music scene.They earned some critical recognition and notable appearances on John Peel's radio show and the BBC's In Concert radio series.After considering band names like "My Granny's Green Chair" and "The Hot Dog From Hell," they settled on "The Silencers."In September 1986 they began to tour Europe and the United Kingdom.They demoed three new songs at Scarf Studios in London: "Painted Moon," "I See Red," and "I Can't Cry."Their first album A Letter from St.The Pretenders invited the band to support them on their European tour, and then the success of Painted Moon across the pond induced a tour of America on their own, and later with Squeeze.In 1988 The Silencers toured Europe with The Alarm and Painted Moon became a radio hit in Britain.After the tour, the band began work on third album Dance to the Holy Man, but personal conflict derailed the process.Deeply in debt to RCA and not having the expected success in England, The Silencers were in danger of being dropped by their label despite their success throughout Europe.Single "I Can Feel It" is, true to form, a hit in Europe and ignored in England.In 1994 The Silencers signed to new labels: Permanent for Britain and BMG for France.It became a hit in Scotland after featuring in a tourism board advertising campaign.Rain, and The Silencers took several years off from recording.In 1999 the band worked on seventh album Receiving, which was financed by money from festival appearances in Europe.In 2001 the band released their first live album, A Night of Electric Silence, recorded in Glasgow in 2000, with McDermott on drums, Kane on bass, Phil Kane on keyboards, O'Neill on guitar and vocals, Milla on violin and Aura O'Neill on vocals.In November 2004 Come was released, featuring standout tracks "Siddharta," "Let It Happen" and "Head."Albums

Hey Mr.See Copyrights for details.The Silencers is the title of an American secret agent comedy motion picture produced in 1966 and starring Dean Martin as agent Matt Helm.It is only loosely based upon the novel of the same name by Donald Hamilton.The Silencers borrows a plot element from the first Helm novel, Death of a Citizen, as it begins with the agent being coaxed out of retirement.Released at the height of James Bond "mania", The Silencers was a major box office hit in 1966 and was followed by three more films: Murderers' Row (also released in 1966), The Ambushers (1967) and The Wrecking Crew (1969).The Ravagers, was announced but never produced.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.THE SILENCERS were formed
by Jimme O'Neill in London in 1986.Indeed the French
rock press seemed to understand exactly what O'Neill was doing.ST PAUL, put the band on the map and still sounds great today
!Cha Burns had
a brain haemorragea during recording.The album was fraught with
difficulties but Cha recovered to do his bit in the studio.After tours of America
and Europe the band recorded their second album A BLUES FOR BUDDHA.Out of the blue the rhythm
section left.Ireland weaved with
a world weary realisation of the fragile nature of relationships.After a slow start the song became the bands biggest hit in Europe.Well during gigs
at this time that's exactly what The Silencers were doing.With no financial support Jinky
left.Bukowski and started writing some more experimental things.For the first time since the Silencers
started I managed to put a little demo studio together.Some of the new tracks
were recorded as if this was a different band.Surprisingly, however, the Celtic thing started intruding and
the songs began to take on a slightly different identity.I've no idea
what people will make of it but I don't really care.The Glasgow mavericks
are back !And they're playing louder, faster and better than
ever !Silencers' first live recording...As you'd expect, it's fabulous
