This is an indie rock band from Scotland. These guys have had some pretty good luck, getting signed at their sixth gig. Not to mention the label was Rough Trade Records which also had The Long Blondes and The Strokes. Before 1990s was formed, all the boys were working on other projects. Jackie McKeown and Jamie McMorrow were the founding members of The Yummy Fur. The Yummy Fur members changed a lot. At one point, both Franz Ferdinand singer Alex Kapranos and drummer Paul Thomson were members. Michael McGaughrin was also in Glasgow band V-Twin, signed to Domino Records, before 1990s were formed. The band has supported other groups through their career including Babyshambles and Franz Ferdinand. They have played at the Indian Summer festival alongside bands such as Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Fall, and Antony and the Johnsons. 1990s also went on tour with The Long Blondes, and with CSS. In 2007, Jamie McMorrow left the band and was replaced by Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub on their European tour. In TV show performances later in the year Dino Bardot, of Stinky Munchkins (also formerly of V-Twin alongside Michael McGaughrin) played bass for the 1990s. In 2008 the band confirmed Dino had joined as a new member. In 2009, they released their second album which had some backing vocals from the former singer of the Long Blondes. As far as I know this band is still together since they had a single released in 2011, but I don't know for sure. In any case, you should still check them out.
Peace.
