Hamilton Lee Biography

Hamilton Lee is one of the most popular and richest Drummer who was born on September 7, 1958 in London, United Kingdom. Hamilton Lee, born 7 September 1958 in London, is an English composer and musician.

Lee was involved in several TGU spinoff projects in the 1990s. He and Whelan also worked with Natacha Atlas often. They also had a duo called “More money than God”. Lee was also a member of Xangbetos, which included Joe Sax and Transglobal Underground members Neil Sparkes as well as Doreen ThobekileWebster. They released the 1997 Zulu-inspired EP “Size of an Elephant”.

Lee’s electronic solo project, Auntie Horror Film, released the Now I See It All album in 1995.

Lee was a member of Furniture’s exile from the UK in 1987 to 1989. He performed with Furniture in Jordan, Egypt and Turkey. He was exposed to music from other cultures than the Anglophone pop and rock tradition. After Furniture’s dissolution, Lee joined The Flavel Bambi septet, a London-based band that specializes in light-hearted, but passionate covers of Middle Eastern and Arabic pop music standards. They also cover oriental classics, Russian and Nigerian polkas as well as Klezmer songs. The Flavel Bambi Septet performed regularly at Club Dog and Waterman’s Art Centre in West London, and was also the house band for a variety show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Lee’s first major musical project was Furniture, a new wave band that is best known for their Top 30 UK hit “Brilliant mind” for which he, Whelan, and Irvin were founding members and contributing writers. Lee was a drummer, percussionist and occasionally keyboard player for Furniture from 1979 to

1991. He played on all four albums and all singles and also helped bring in unusual instruments like the tongue-drum. During the latter half of Furniture’s existence, Lee was also a member (alongside Whelan) of the Ealing- based post-punk/psychedelic band The Transmitters, for which he played drums and sampler between 1987 and 1989.

At various points in the 1980s, Lee drummed for various theatre projects by the comedy/drama/”horror-panto” troupe Count of Three in both London and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, including versions of The Beggar’s Opera, Titus Andronicus and Dr Calamari’s Music Hall of the Macabre. He was a drummer for Catwalk, an alternative rock band that Chris Roberts, Melody Maker journalist, started in the 1990s.

This work (rather than his Furniture contributions) anticipated Lee’s most successful project, Transglobal Underground (a.k.a. “TGU”), a musical collective which he set up with Tim Whelan in 1992. Transglobal Underground pioneered the now-common fusion of world music and various club dance music forms now referred to as “worldbeat” and immediately brought it to the mainstream with the single “Temple Head” and a number of successful albums and singles. Lee and Whelan continue to lead the collective to this day and have featured on every single TGU release, generally under a variety of pseudonyms. (Lee’s pseudonyms tend to be variations on the name “Hamid Mantu”). Lee contributes drums, percussion, programming, keyboards and sampling to the project and is also responsible for the majority of backing vocals (which he characterises as “DIY choirs and choruses”).
