Live Artist Snapshot:

The members of Live began playing together as teenagers in their native York, PA, under various band names. After singer Ed Kowalczyk arrived, they were on the fast track to stardom. The moody alternative-rock sound of their 1991 debut album made some waves, but it was 1994's THROWING COPPER--produced by former Talking Head Jerry Harrison--that brought them fame, adding a considerable amount of heavy-rock crunch to their style and making them one of the most popular groups of the immediate post-grunge era.

Title Note

Live: Edward Kowalczyk (vocals, guitar); Chad Taylor (guitar, background vocals); Patrick Dahlheimer (bass); Chad Gracey (drums, background vocals).

Recorded at Pachyderm Studio, Cannon Falls, Minnesota.

Having come together as a band in junior high school, the members of Live demonstrate a maturity and grasp of rock essentials far beyond their years, one reason why THROWING COPPER seems likely to vault them into the very upper echelons of pop songwriting and arranging. Aided by Talking Heads guitar and keyboard wiz Jerry Harrison, THROWING COPPER is moody yet celebratory, guarded yet rocking, spare yet richly detailed--a powerful follow-up to their debut effort MENTAL JEWELRY.

"The Dam At Otter Creek" and "White Discussion" act as ominous bookends to THROWING COPPER; the former a spooky tale of murder, the latter a raging, apocalyptic vision of a dying earth. Framed by a dense, keening wall of electric guitars, and the powerhouse rhythmic backing of guitarist Chad Taylor, bassist Patrick Dahlheimer and drummer Chad Gracey, guitarist/lead vocalist Edward Kowalczyk sets a powerful emotional tone for THROWING COPPER with his ardent, turbulent vocals--sort of Van Morrison meets Johnny Rotten.

Sonically speaking, THROWING COPPER benefits tremendously from producer Jerry Harrison's arranging savvy, and the raw, ambient production values he favors. Big, billowing clouds of distorted guitar chords dance around and about solid, translucent rhythm tracks, for a group sound that juxtaposes the larger than life mystery of U2 and R.E.M., with the grunge power of Nirvana and Pearl Jam.
