The Feelies
New Jersey-based heroes of the 1980s
indie underground, beloved by many for their jittery, frantic, utterly
infectious avant pop.
In the summer of 2008 the classic 1983 lineup held a low-key
reunion, opening for Sonic Youth and playing two sold-out shows at Maxwell's. A
year later they appeared at a tribute to R.E.M. concert at Carnegie Hall and
performed at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Monticello NY, playing the
Crazy Rhythms album in its entirety. The band signed with Bar/None that same
year, and began work on a new album. Recorded at Water Music in Hoboken, 2011's
Here Before represented the outfit's first collection of new music in nearly 19
years.
