Portishead - Mysterons

Portishead are an English musical group from Bristol. The band is named after the nearby town of the same name, 13 km (8 mi) west of Bristol. Portishead consists of Geoff Barrow, Beth Gibbons, and Adrian Utley, while sometimes citing a fourth member, Dave McDonald, an engineer on Dummy and Portishead.
Portishead's first album Dummy was released in 1994. The credits of Dummy indicate that at this juncture, Portishead was a duo of Geoff Barrow and Beth Gibbons. Adrian Utley, who co-produced the album with Portishead (and who played on 9 of the tracks and co-wrote 8), became an official band member shortly after the album's release.
After their initial success, Portishead withdrew from the spotlight for three years until their self-titled second album, Portishead, was released in 1997. The album's sound differed from Dummy, characterised as "grainy and harsher."
In 1999, Portishead recorded the song "Motherless Child" with Tom Jones for his album Reload. For the next few years, the band members concentrated on solo and other pursuits.
On 2 October 2007, Portishead stated that the new album Third had been mixed and was nearly complete, and was due for release in early April 2008. The release was later pushed to 28 April. On 8 and 9 December 2007, the band curated the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Minehead, England. The festival featured their first full live sets in nearly 10 years.
Portishead is scheduled to perform at the 2011 Benicàssim Festival alongside other musical groups The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys and Primal Scream. They are also confirmed for Rock Werchter in Belgium, Pohoda Festival in Slovakia, Paleo Festival in Switzerland and Roskilde Festival in Denmark. On 15 July 2011 the band is scheduled to perform alongside Arcade Fire, The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys in Portugal at the Super Bock Super Rock music festival.
