The English rock trio
Muse consists of guitarist/vocalist Matthew Bellamy,
bassist Chris Wolstenhome and drummer Dominic
Howard. Bored by the sleepy life their hometown of
Teignmouth, Devon provided, the three friends began
playing music together.
They started the
first incarnation of their band when they were all
13, changing the name of the group from Gothic
Plague to Fixed Penalty to Rocket Baby Dolls as time
passed. By 1997 the band settled on the name Muse
and released their self-titled debut EP on Dangerous
Records, followed by the Muscle Museum EP in 1998.
The group's emotive,
Radiohead-like sound and live dates drew critical
acclaim and industry buzz, and after a trip to New
York's CMJ festival, Muse signed a deal with
Maverick Records. Singles like "Cave" and "Uno"
preceded their debut full-length album Showbiz,
which was released toward the end of 1999. Two years
later, Muse issued The Origin of Symmetry and had a
major hit with "Hyper Music."
In 2002, fans were
treated to the double-disc live set Hullabaloo.
Muse's fourth album, Absolution, got the usual royal
treatment upon its late-2003 release. Stateside fans
finally got a taste of Absolution when it was
released on Warner Bros. the following March. A
short North American tour in the spring coincided
Muse's spot on the fifth annual Coachella Music and
Arts Festival in May 2004.
