There are at least two artists named St. Christopher:
1) St. Christopher are a British indie pop band formed in York in 1984, who released several records on Sarah Records in the late 1980's, and have continued to release records since.
St. Christopher are mainly known for their four singles and 10" mini-LP on Sarah Records, although they actually have a much longer history, both before and after their time on Sarah. They produced a prolific quantity of recordings on a variety of labels, from the early 1980s to the present.
The only constant member of the band during its more than twenty years of existence has been Glenn Melia, and, during this time, Melia and St. Christopher have recorded with many well-known indie labels, including Sarah, Bus Stop, Vinyl Japan, Elefant, Slumberland, Caff, and Parasol. The band probably achieved greatest recognition for the single "All of a Tremble," released in 1989.
The original line-up of the band also featured Terry Banks, who went on to lead Tree Fort Angst.
In 2007, a compilation album of their previous releases titled Lost at Sea - The Sarah Recordings was released by Plastilina Records. Their last record was the CD single "Burnout".
2) The project of Chris Tragos, a Chicago based producer aiming to deliver an unforgettable experience through his transcendent, hard-hitting electronic music that bleeds charisma.
Ethereal melodies, driven synths & pounding drums paired with deep composition creates an experience unlike any other. The motivated producer draws inspiration from history, architecture, video games & films to fuel his creative fire.
Saint Christopher is committed to developing as an artist, brand & human.
