Haledon, New Jersey, United States (1976 – 1992, 2008 – present)

The Feelies are an rock band from Haledon, New Jersey, United States. They formed in 1976, disbanded in 1992 and reformed in 2008. They frequently played at Maxwell’s, a live music venue and bar restaurant in Hoboken in the 1980s. Their first album, Crazy Rhythms (Stiff Records, 1980) was cited by the Athens, Georgia band, R.E.M., as a major influence. The Feelies rarely worked with outside producers and created shimmering soundscapes with multiple guitar layers that sounded very unique compared to the / atmosphere of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. The band reunited in 2008. The band has announced reunion shows that will occur in early July 2008, including shows at Maxwells, Hoboken, NJ (July 1 and 2, 2008) and opening for Sonic Youth at Battery Park, New York, NY on July 4, 2008. The band’s name refers to a multi sensory form of entertainment in Aldous Huxley’s book, Brave New World.
