Europeans were a
new wave band formed in
Bristol,
England in 1977. The line-up was Jonathan Cole (formally of Colortapes, on vocals, guitar and synthesizers),
Jon Klein (ex-Emergency Exit on lead guitar), Steve Street (ex-Public Enemy Number One on bass guitar) and James Cole (drums and percussion). According to Klein, ‘we were going to be called 'The Noses.' (They should not be confused with the similarly named
The Europeans, a British band formed in 1981).
