Club Quattro

You could be forgiven for thinking that Feeder’s start in the music industry is the stuff of dreams: Band sends a demo tape to a record label in 1994, label likes it, attends a live concert and quickly signs the group for a record deal. But as we know, there’s no such thing as overnight success. The band’s roots were established in 1987 when frontman guitarist Grant Nicholas met drummer Jon Lee and formed a group named Temper Temper, which would become Raindancer, Real, and then finally Feeder after recruiting bassist Taka Hirose. Tragically, drummer Jon Lee took his own life in 2002, but after some time, the band continued with Skunk Anansie drummer Michael Richardson. Jump to the present, now with Karl Brazil on drums, and this year Feeder released their tenth studio album, Tallulah. UK newspaper The Guardian described the album as “a tour of noughties guitar music that time, or at least the zeitgeist, forgot…Nicholas and Hirose play to their strengths: unabashedly unfashionable guitar anthems with melodic middle-of-the-road flourishes.” Feeder has built an almost cult-like following in Japan so get your tickets early for this gig!
