The Raincoats are a British punk band. Ana da Silva and Gina Birch formed the band in 1977 while they were students at Hornsey College Of Art in London. They were inspired after they saw The Slits perform live earlier that year.
The Raincoats signed to the label Rough Trade and the band released three albums.
The band recorded Moving in 1984. Tired of constant touring and "pulling in different musical directions", the band members began work on solo projects shortly after the album's release. The band split up in 1984. The Raincoats reformed in 1994 due to renewed interest in the band.
Band members:
Ana Paula de Lima Pita da Silva - guitar, vocals
Georgina Mary Birch - bass, vocals
Victoria Marion Aspinall - guitar, violin
Ingrid Weiss - drums
Paloma Romero - drums.
