Biography:
Longpigs, from Sheffield, were one of the more memorable bands who rose to fame on the fringe of Britpop in the 1990s, comprising Crispin Hunt (vocals), Richard Hawley (guitar), Simon Stafford (bass) and former Cabaret Voltaire member Dee Boyle (drums). The band name refers to the litteral translation of the word for 'human' or 'person' from cannibal tribal language.
The group initially signed with Elektra Records in 1993. However, just before they released their first single, two tragedies struck the band.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
There is a sad lack of Longpigs songs outside of the popular ones such as on and on and
said. Hopefully, I can start to plug a few gaps. In the snow in my opinion is one of the
things ever to have came from the longpigs and is a fitting album finale.
Most of the picking is based loosely around the root chords, I'm not transcribing it
as you can get some nice effects by changing the odd note now and then. Hopefully, you
find the chords accurate though.
