3 Colours Red are:
Grant Nichols (Guitar, Vocals) Taka Hirose (Bass) Mark Richards (Drums) Biography British pop-metal outfit Feeder was formed in London by singer/guitarist Grant Nicholas and drummer Jon Lee, who first teamed in the Welsh band Temper Temper. Originally dubbed Reel, the new group's line-up was complete with the addition of Tokyo-born bassist Taka Hirose. After signing to Echo in 1995 Feeder issued its debut EP Two Colours, followed by the six-track Swim; a series of well-received singles -- "Stereo World," "Tangerine" and "Cement" -- expanded the trio's fan base further, and in mid-1997 they launched their full-length debut Polythene. The hit "Day In, Day Out" preceded the release of Feeder's sophomore effort, 1999's Yesterday Went Too Soon. Despite not catching on in America, Feeder maintained their popularity in Europe. In 2001, after touring the world relentlessly,Feeder achieved their breakthrough hit in the U.K. with "Buck Rogers." The first single from the band's third album, Echo Park, eventually hit number five on the charts. Before the year's end, the band scored another top 20 hit with the Just A Day EP and hit the road with the Stereophonics. Tracks for a fourth album were already in the works when tragedy struck. Founding member Jon Lee committed suicide in his Miami home in early January 2002. He was 33. Nicholas and Hirose saw it fit to continue with Feeder and resumed recording. The Gil Norton-produced Comfort In Sound was released in October. Thanks to Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide |
