Chart Success
"Shall We Take A Trip", was banned by the BBC for its many references to drugs (specifically LSD) but despite the subsequent lack of airplay, it eventually broke into the Top 50 in the UK Singles Chart. On 6 May 2006, BBC 6 Music played this song in its entirety on the Marc Riley show. "Shall We Take A Trip" was also used as Granada's Soccer Night theme tune through the 1990s.
The next single from Chicken Rhythms, "My Rising Star", was released in October 1990 and reached No. 32, staying on the chart for 7 weeks.
The album itself peaked at No. 19 in June 1991. It was produced by Ian Broudie.
In 1991 Northside scored a minor hit in the United States when their single "Take 5" reached No. 5 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart on the week of October 5. It also reached No. 34 on the Dance/Club Play Songs charts that same month. The band performed "Take 5" on Top of the Pops on June 6, 1991 - a rare occasion where a song that was not in the Top 40 was played on the show.
