Southend (band)

Southend (sometimes known as South End) is an Australian house- techno band formed around 1992. Based in Sydney and formed around synthesiser/keyboardists Stuart McCarthy, Steve Younan, Sameer Sen-Gupta and vocalist Melinda Page, they had a number of hits in the mid-1990s, most notably "The Winner Is...", released in June 1994 which reached the national ARIA Top 10. "The Winner Is..." was based around a sample of the then International Olympic Committee chairman Juan Antonio Samaranch announcing that the winner of the 2000 Summer Olympics was "Syd-er-ney". They were signed to the Volition Records label and performed regularly at the Big Day Out from 1993 to 1996.

Sen-Gupta left the band in 1995 to pursue a solo career, and was replaced with guitarist Justin Frew who would go on to form Antenna with McCarthy, Dave Faulkner (Hoodoo Gurus) and Kim Salmon in 1998. Antenna’s Installation album was the first ever release on Mushroom International.

On the production side, Southend have produced local and international releases for Hoodoo Gurus, Paul Holden, Acid Babies, The Whitlams, Kim Salmon and Michal Nicholas as well as a remix collaboration with Sasha Vatoff of Vagen’s track "Buggin" and a cover of Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy" which appeared on Groovescooter Records’ Re:fashioned 2.

Southend performed at Utopia on Near Years Eve in Sydney in 2004. They were then invited to be the first band to appear live on Channel V’s "Room 208". After having three tracks licensed by Ministry of Sound Australia in 2009, Undercover Music's Yep! Records has released Southend's entire back catalogue (including previously unreleased material) through MGM Distribution & iTunes.

Southend was a parliamentary constituency centred on the town of Southend-on-Sea in Essex. It returned one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

The constituency was created in 1918 by splitting the town of Southend from the existing constituency of South East Essex. The sitting MP for that constituency, Rupert Guinness, was elected to the new constituency. It was abolished for the 1950 general election, when it was divided into the new constituencies of Southend East and Southend West.
