THE GROUP ANIMAL LOGIC WITH THE SONG WINDS OF SANTA ANA AND PHOTOS FROM THE INTERNET .Animal Logic was formed in late 1987 BY Stewart Copeland and Stanley Clarke. After auditioning hundreds of potential singer/songwriters without success, a two-song demo tape forwarded by a music publisher to Copeland of a then-unknown Deborah Holland, and her subsequent hiring, created Animal Logic. The band was orginally known as “Rush Hour” and included Police guitarist Andy Summers. Shortly after hiring Holland, who wrote nearly all the songs for the band . Summers left. Miles Copeland, also the manager for The Police eventually choose Animal Logic as the band’s permanent name.The first Animal Logic album was on I.R.S./Virgin Records in 1989, the second in 1991. The band split shortly after the second CD was released, as the hoped-for major commercial success did not occur, and Clarke returned to more lucrative studio and film recording. Copeland’s former bandmate Sting was at one point advertised as joining Animal Logic for a portion of their last U.S. tour, but the collaboration never in fact occurred. Animal Logic’s unique sound was provided by Holland’s lyrical and songwriting ability, combined with the all-star rhythm section of Copeland and Clarke. The music produced by the band can be considered as some of the most intelligent and sophisticated pop-rock offered in the past twenty years.
