Background notes
Archive material and source history
Very Important Businessmen formed in Manchester in the early 2000s as an experimental electronic duo, with Matthew Crooks and David McDonnell at the core. They put out their debut single 'And Over Again' in 2009, a track that caught some attention for its bassline and synths.
In 2010, the band got tangled in a lawsuit with David Bowie, who claimed 'And Over Again' borrowed too much from his song 'Heroes'. The case was settled out of court, but it stuck as a footnote in their story. They released albums like 'The Night is a Suitcase' in 2012 and 'The Boy Who Never Fell' in 2015, keeping to an electronic sound that leaned into introspection and texture.
