Feeder are an alternative rock band, formed in 1992 in Newport, Wales. The band currently consists of by frontman, lead guitarist and head songwriter Grant Nicholas, Bass guitarist Taka Hirose and drummer Karl Brazil. Original drummer Jon Lee committed suicide during January 2002, Skunk Anansie's drummer Mark Richardson stepped in and later left in 2009 when Skunk Anansie reformed. Feeder have also been accompanied by Matt Sime (keyboards; 2000-2002), Dean Tidey (guitar, backing vocals; 1998-2009) and Dean Deavall (keyboards, backing vocals; 2008-present). Feeder first saw mainstream success from their third album Echo Park (2001), and its first single "Buck Rogers" which also became their first top 10 hit. Two Kerrang! Award wins in 2001 and 2003 for "Best British Live Act" and "Best British Band" later followed. Alongside Echo Park, Yesterday Went Too Soon, Comfort in Sound, Pushing the Senses and their singles compilation were all commercially successful. They later launched a side project band called Renegades on their own Big Teeth Music imprint, after Echo ceased existence as a label. However, Feeder are returning in Summer 2010 for a tour and a series of festival slots. |
