Powder were a Britpop band that existed between 1994 and 1996 and released three singles on Parkway Records. They were fronted by Pearl Lowe, with songwriters Mark Thomas on guitar and Tim McTighe on bass and James Walden on drums. Their highest-charting single, "Afrodisiac", reached No. 72 on the UK Singles Chart.[1]
Signed in late 1994 by music public relations agents John Best and Jane Savidge, they were the first band on the label. Their first single, "20th Century Gods", a Select Single Of The Month, sold out of its pressing of 1,500 within two days. This was followed by the release of "Afrodisiac" in June 1995, and appearances at music festivals as well as prime-time BBC music special Britpop Now.[2]
