Biography
(1) An American indie rock band.
(2) A British experimental band founded by William Bennett, who would later go on to form the very influential band Whitehouse.
(1) Come was also an American indie rock band from 1990-2001. Come was formed in Boston, Massachusetts by Thalia Zedek (vocal, guitar), Chris Brokaw (guitar, vocal), Arthur Johnson (drums), and Sean O’Brien (bass).
Come came into being after a mutual acquaintance invited Brokaw, O’Brien, and Johnson to play with him; after one show the three decided to split off into their own project, inviting Zedek to join them. Zedek’s former band, the post-no wave New York band Live Skull, disbanded in 1990. Zedek played in the bands UZi and Dangerous Birds before that. Brokaw was playing drums with Codeine, and he and Zedek had been talking about playing together. Johnson was previously the drummer for the Athens, Georgia band Bar-B-Q Killers, while O’Brien had played with Kilkenny Cats and Fashion Battery, two other 1980s Athens bands.
After a year of jamming together, Come debuted with the 12-inch single Car on Sub Pop in 1991. The song, a seven-minute epic in the blues-noir style of The Birthday Party and These Immortal Souls, encapsulated what was to become the trademark style of Come: dark, intense and lengthy songs marked by Zedek’s emotional and distressed vocals, abrupt rhythms, and the tension-filled guitar interplay between Zedek and Brokaw, both extraordinarily accomplished guitarists.

Amazing live band - supporting Dinosaur Jr at Brixton Academy and Throwing Muses at Shepherds Bush Empire were both emotional tidal wave performances... and Thalia promoting her first solo album at Camden Barfly was special too...

Surprised these guys/gal don't have more listens. They've got a 90s sound (in a good way), were on Matador, have the connection to Codeine.

The show last night at The Bell House was awesome. They sounded every bit as good as they did back in the day thanks in no small part to the return of the original rhythm section. In case anyone is interested, the set list was as follows: Off To One Side / Fast Piss Blues / Bell / William / Last Mistake / String / Brand New Vein / SVK / Sad Eyes / In/Out / Submerge / German Song / Cimarron / Car.

So excited to see them in NYC April 16. It's about 20 years since I saw them for the first time at TT the Bears in Boston. One of my favorite bands from that moment to today.

So Thalia Zedek was waiting tables at the restaurant I ate at tonight. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised (obviously it is hard to make a living off playing music), but she's a fairly legendary figure and it was strange seeing her in that context. If only money could be earned from being awesome...

There was a band called Come who had a disc out on vinyl. The cover was a stop sign shape, but the word 'come' instead;ve the word 'stop'. Which of the two bands mentioned is that, or is there a third band of the same name?
