The band 415 took their name from the San Francisco area code. They started playing in the late 1990s, mixing electronic and experimental sounds in a way that didn't fit neatly into the categories of the time. Their song '415' became something of a local anthem there.
Their lineup included Maynard James Keenan on vocals, Adam Jones on guitar, Justin Chancellor on bass, and Danny Carey on drums. They released albums like 'Lateralus' and '10,000 Days' alongside their self-titled record. Tracks such as 'Court In The Street' and 'Ruthless Is Reality' show the range they worked in.
They built a following through live shows, and their approach drew some criticism along with the attention. The music kept moving between electronic textures and more grounded playing without settling into one mode for too long.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
