Seattle, United States (1995 – 2002)

764-HERO was an band from Seattle, Washington, signed to UP Records. The band’s name, suggested by a friend, is taken from the Washington State Department of Transportation phone number for reporting HOV lane violators.

Formed in 1995, the original members were singer/guitarist and Seattle native, John Atkins from Hush Harbor and drummer Polly Johnson from Bell Jar. The band released two 7” records, the full-length album Salt Sinks, Sugar Floats and the EP We’re Solids in quick succession. With just two members 764-HERO were able to create a national following with their unique sound and powerful live shows.

The two members released their debut album Salt Sinks Sugar Floats in 1996. Known locally for their powerful live preformances the duo quickly garnered a national audience. For their second full length album, Get Here and Stay, James Bertram,(Lync, Red Stars Theory) played bass guitar. The third album, Weekends of Sound (considered by many to be the band’s swan song) included Bertram as well, and the band also added a keyboard player. Bertram left soon after, but was replaced by another bassist, and the band remained a four-member act.

In 1998, the band was set to perform live on the radio and thought they’d mix it up a bit. They called their old friend James Bertram from Red Stars Theory (ex-Lync and Beck) and asked him to play bass. The session went so well they decided to make it permanent. With the new line up in place they recorded “Get Here and Stay”. While “Salt Sinks” was undoubtedly a great record, “Get Here and Stay” was in a whole other realm, a fully realized sound with amazing songwriting and outstanding musicianship.

インターネット検索エンジン(インターネットのサーチエンジン)には、ヤフーJAPAN、Google、gooなどありますね。検索する際のコツとしては、どの検索エンジンでも言える事だと思うのですが、キーワードは1つよりも、複数入れたほうがいいですね。というのは、キーワードが1つだけだと、情報範囲が広くなりすぎて、自分が検索したかった内容と全く関係のないものまで出てきてしまったりするんです。2つ以上のキ…
