Информация о группе

After a stint as musical director of a West End performance of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Wallinger joined a funk band dubbed The Out, before signing on with Mike Scott's Waterboys in 1984 to record the album A Pagan Place. After 1985's This Is the Sea, Wallinger departed to form World Party.
Recorded at Wallinger's home in 1986, his debut album Private Revolution yielded two minor hits in the UK, Private Revolution and Ship of Fools. Ship Of Fools, however, would do much better outside the UK -- it reached #4 in Australia, #21 in New Zealand, and #27 in the US, in the process becoming the act's only major international hit.
Between World Party's first and second albums, Wallinger aided Sinéad O'Connor in recording her 1988 debut, The Lion and the Cobra. O'Connor, then an unknown, had appeared as a guest on World Party's first album. She would go on to appear as a guest on the second LP as well.
Goodbye Jumbo, World Party's second album, contained the minor UK hit singles Way Down Now and Put the Message in the Box.[1] Wallinger collaborated with fellow songwriter Guy Chambers on some of the tracks. Goodbye Jumbo was voted album of the year by Q magazine and was nominated for a Grammy Award for 'Best Alternative Music Performance' in the US.
After the 1991 EP Thank You World (including a cover of The Beatles' Happiness Is a Warm Gun), Wallinger recruited guitarist David Catlin-Birch and drummer Chris Sharrock as full-fledged members for 1993's hit album Bang!. It reached #2 in the UK Albums Chart, with the track Is It Like Today? (#19 on the UK Singles Chart) also becoming a moderately successful single in Europe. The success of Bang! saw World Party in the line-up for the Glastonbury Festival.
In 1994, World Party recorded When You Come Back To Me for the Reality Bites soundtrack.
Their fourth album, Egyptology (1997), written following the death of Wallinger's mother, was commercially disastrous, although She's the One won an Ivor Novello Award and was subsequently recorded by Robbie Williams. Wallinger took a three year break from World Party, before the release of Dumbing Up in 2000. However, Wallinger was struck down by an aneurysm that left him unable to speak.
After a long rehabilitation, Wallinger re-emerged onto the scene in 2006. With his back catalogue reclaimed from EMI, a distribution deal was struck (via his own Seaview label) with Universal, and he played his first live show in a decade at the Austin, Texas based South by Southwest festival. He played additional US dates in 2006. Big Blue Ball, a joint project with Peter Gabriel with production work by Stephen Hague (Pet Shop Boys, New Order) has also been released.
In September 2007 World Party supported Steely Dan in their first tour of Australia.
In 2011 the band returned to the South by Southwest festival to play a free concert in which they opened for Blue October.
Wallinger cited influences such as The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, Junior Walker, Neil Young and Prince. Wallinger sings and plays most of the instruments himself, using multitracking to create the studio sound. Lyrically, many of the songs feature thoughtful and occasionally political sentiments.
