The Auteurs were a British indie rock band known for their artful, often acerbic take on guitar pop. Formed in the early 1990s, they were central to the Britpop scene, though their sound was generally more complex and less overtly commercial than many of their peers. The 1999 single "The Rubettes" arrived late in the band's career, after their previous album "How I Learned to Love the Bootboys" and as their output was becoming more sporadic.
