Flashback Friday: Cornershop
Today’s Flashback Friday is a happy little tune from Cornershop called “Brimful of Asha” off of the When I Was Born For The 7th Time album, released in 1997.
Cornershop is a rock band from Leicester, UK, consisting of Tjinder Singh (singer, songwriter, and dholaki player), Ben Ayres (guitar, keyboards, and tamboura), Anthony Saffery (sitar, keyboards and harmonium), Nick Simms (drums) and Peter Bengry (percussion).
Their name comes from a term that refers to indian immigrants that move to england, in that they often own street corner stores.
Along with this breakout track from their album, Fatboy Slim remixed the song a year later which shot the track to the top of the charts once again. The band has released a few albums since When I Was Born.. but has failed to receive much radio airplay.
