Saint Etienne is an English alternative dance act, active since 1990. The trio consists of Sarah Cracknell (vocals), Bob Stanley (keyboards, guitar) and Pete Wiggs (bass, keyboards). The band's name derives from the French football club AS Saint-Etienne, runner-up in the European Cup in the 1970s. Saint Etienne's music is characterized by a nostalgic and sophisticated sound, blending elements of synthpop, indie pop, house and lounge music. Their albums are often inspired by themes such as British popular culture of the 1960s and 1970s, cinema and fashion. Among their most well-known songs are "Only Love Can Break Your Heart", "Nothing Can Stop Us" and "Avenue". Saint Etienne has collaborated with numerous artists, including Jarvis Cocker of Pulp and The Divine Comedy.
