Feeder for a Friday Jr. Lunch – recorded at the 2012 Isle of Wight Festival on June 22 of that year and broadcast by BBC Radio 1 (this feed comes from Germany though).
Wikipedia has a few words to say:
Feeder formed in 1994. The band have released 12 albums selling over a million copies domestically, despite never having signed to a major recording label in the UK. In August 2019, they were inducted into The Kerrang! Hall of Fame.
Although the band formed in 1994,[7] they performed under an earlier incarnation of “Reel”, which was formed in 1992 by vocalist and guitarist Grant Nicholas, drummer Jon Lee and bassist Simon Blight, three of the four members of Raindancer, after the departure of that band’s other member, guitarist John Canham. However, Blight left Reel later in 1992, and the band played with many session bassists before hiring Taka Hirose in 1994 and re-establishing themselves as Feeder;[8] that year, the band signed with The Echo Label.
Feeder garnered media attention in 2001 for their third album, Echo Park, and its lead single, “Buck Rogers“, which later became a UK top five Platinum-selling single. Jon Lee died by suicide at his Miami home in January 2002, after which the remaining members began to record and play with former Skunk Anansie drummer Mark Richardson. They released their fourth album, Comfort in Sound, later that year. Richardson was ultimately made an official member, remaining so until May 2009 when he returned to a reformed Skunk Anansie. Feeder have since worked with a roster of drummers live and in the studio, including Tim Trotter, Damon Wilson, Karl Brazil and former Elviss drummer Geoff Holroyde. Between 2010 and 2024, the band charted seven more top 20 albums, with the latest of these being 2024’s Black / Red, their fifth consecutive top 10 album. In 2019, the band signed a deal with Believe UK to release their tenth studio album, Tallulah. The band released their eleventh studio album, titled Torpedo, in 2022. Their twelfth studio album, a double album titled Black/Red, was released in 2024.
To get an idea what they were up to in 2012, here is their Isle Of Wight from June 22nd.
Chew slowly and enjoy. The band too.
