Paris Angels were a seven piece
band, hailing from
Guide Bridge,
Ashton-under-Lyne,
England, associated with the
Madchester scene of 1989 -1991. Their music fused
indie guitars with
electronic dance music. The band comprised Paul 'Wags' Wagstaff (later of
Black Grape and the reformed
Happy Mondays), Rikki Turner, Steven Taji, Scott Carey, Mark Adj, Jane Gill and Simon Worrall.
History
The band were regulars of the
Boardwalk and
Haçienda clubs in Manchester
, and as such were heavily influenced by
acid house and the nascent
Madchester scene of the late 1980s.
