East 17

East 17 was a UK boy band popular in the 1990s who scored twelve Top 10 hits in the UK singles chart between 1992 and 1998.. The band's name comes from the postcode for Walthamstow (the area of London between the old East End and the Essex commuter belt). They owe their sound to a mix of influences, from the popular early nineties dance sound of acts like The Shamen and The KLF to the contemporary American hip-hop sounds.
