Texas are a pop music band from Glasgow, Scotland. They were founded by Johnny McElhone
(formerly of the bands Altered Images and Hipsway) in 1986 and had their performing debut in
March 1988 at Scotland's University of Dundee. They took their name from the 1984 Wim
Wenders movie Paris, Texas. Their musical sound went from blues rock on their debut album
Southside via the blue-eyed soul of White on Blonde to the disco pop of Red Book.
