A band that mixed rock with funk and R&B, anchored by Dan Reed through lineup changes.
For a quick sense of their thing, put on 'Chill Out' or 'All My Lovin'. That's the blend right there.
They carved out a space with a sound that wasn't just straight-ahead rock. You can hear it in the groove of 'Chill Out' or the melodic drive of 'All My Lovin'. That mix of styles gave them a dedicated following that lasted through the '90s and beyond.
They started in Portland in 1984, with the self-titled debut arriving in 1987. Original members like Dan Pred and Brion James left over time, but Dan Reed kept the band going through albums like 'Slam' and 'Fight Another Day'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
