Bivouac were a British alternative rock band from Derby who were active in the 1990s. They released two albums on the independent label Elemental, before being signed by DGC/Geffen for the 1995 album Full Size Boy. However, despite good reviews, the album did not sell well, the band were dropped from their label and disbanded soon afterwards[1]. Singer and vocalist Yeadon has since turned to music production group The Moot group, who have produced bands such as Send More Paramedics, as well as forming the UK band The Wireless Stores, releasing an EP and an album in 2003 and 2006. [2][3] and along with second drummer York has also played with other bands including Pitchshifter.[4]. Original drummer Antony Hodgkinson danced on stage for Nirvana[5]; he now plays in Døgntank with Spiritualized and Julian Cope guitarist Doggen.
