White Town
White Town is a British musical act and is a solo project of Jyoti Prakash Mishra. White Town's song "Your Woman" reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in January 1997. "Your Woman" also peaked at number one in Spain, as well as number two in Australia, number four in Canada, Denmark and Finland and number 23 in the United States.
Early life
Mishra was born in Rourkela, India on 30 July 1966, but immigrated to the United Kingdom with his family at age three.
Musical career
White Town was formed by Mishra in 1989 after he saw The Pixies play. Initially there were other members on guitar, bass and drums playing support gigs for various bands including Primal Scream. In 1990 he released his first self-financed record, White Town EP, on 7" vinyl. This featured Nick Glyn-Davis on drums and Sean Deegan on bass with Mishra on guitar and vocals. Glyn-Davis left and was replaced live by a drum machine and Leon Wilson on guitar. The rest of the band drifted away in Autumn 1990 and from then on Mishra mainly worked on his own, using other musicians to record with, including Gary Thatcher of the Derby band The Beekeepers on guitar.

Women in Technology
I can't understand
After everything that we planned
How you could turn around to me and whisper goodbye
Well I've been dropped before
But not so high off the floor
And I just can't seem to pick myself up again
If it's something that I said
That made you feel this way
Then I take back every word from the first hello
But most likely I know
Your parents said baby no
And the boy you told your friends about just had to go
Well it's a white town with green trees
And nothing in love is free
So if it's not worth fighting for
It's worth nothing at all
