Ikhekhe yiqembu lehlelo laseMelika elasungulwa emuva ngo-1991. I-repertoire yeqembu iqukethe "izithako" ezihlukahlukene. Kodwa into eyodwa ingashiwo ngokuqinisekile - amathrekhi aphethwe i-funk emhlophe, i-folk, i-hip-hop, i-jazz ne-guitar rock.
Yini eyenza ikhekhe lihluke kwabanye? Abaculi bahlukaniswa ngamagama ahlekisayo nanokubhuqa, kanye namazwi ahlabayo e-frontman. Akunakwenzeka ukuthi ungawuzwa umhlobiso womoya ocebile, ongavamile ukuzwa ekuqanjweni kwamabhendi e-rock yesimanje.
Ngenxa yeqembu lehlelo kukhona ama-albhamu afanelekile ayi-6. Iningi lamaqoqo selifinyelele izinga leplatinamu. Abagxeki bomculo babhekisa iqembu kubaculi abadala umculo ngezitayela ze-indie rock nenye i-rock.
Umlando wokudalwa nokubunjwa kweqembu
Iqembu Lekhekhe linomlando othakazelisa kakhulu wendalo. UJohn McCree uthathwa njengomsunguli weqembu. Lo mculi wacabanga ukudala iqembu lakhe ngesikhathi esafunda esikoleni esiphakeme. Wabe esevakashela amaqembu amaningana. UJohn akazange ahlale ndawo ngesizathu esisodwa - wayengenalo ulwazi.
Maphakathi nawo-1980, uMcCree, kanye no-John McCrea kanye ne-Roughousers, bethula izingoma ezithi Love you Madly kanye nethi Shadow Stabbing kubathandi bomculo. Kodwa ngeke kushiwo ukuthi ngenxa yezingoma ezenziwa yiqembu elikhulunywe ngenhla, abafana bathola impumelelo. Kamuva, amalungu eqembu Lekhekhe aphinda aqopha izingoma ezingenhla, futhi ekusebenzeni kwawo ayenesimo samahithi.
Ibhizinisi likaJohn kuJohn McCrea kanye neqembu leRoughousers alizange lithuthuke. Ngakho-ke, wanquma ukuthuthela endaweni yaseLos Angeles. Lesi sigameko senzeka engxenyeni yesibili yawo-1980.
U-John wadlala ezindaweni zokudlela nasezindaweni ze-karaoke. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ngaphambi kokusungulwa kweqembu le-Cake, waqopha ingoma eyedwa, uRancho Seco. UMcCree unikezele ngokwakhiwa kwesikhungo samandla enuzi esakhiwe eningizimu-mpumalanga yeSacramento. Ngo-1991, e-Los Angeles, uMcCree wenza okokuqala ngaphansi kwegama lokudala elithi Cake.
Kwakungenakwenzeka ukunqoba iLos Angeles. Ngokushesha uJohane wabuyela ezweni lakubo. Imicabango mayelana nokudala iphrojekthi ayizange ishiye umculi. Uthole abantu abanomqondo ofanayo kumshayi wecilongo uVince DiFiore, umdlali wesiginci uGreg Brown, umshayi webhesi uSean McFessel kanye nomshayi wezigubhu uFrank French.
Ngo-1991, kwavela iqembu lokuqala. Yiqiniso, ngaphambi kokuqala kokuqashelwa nokuthandwa, kwadlula eminye iminyaka embalwa.
Ukuqashelwa kokuqala kweqembu Lekhekhe
Ngo-1993, abaculi bethula ingoma ethi Rock'n'roll Lifestyle. Angizange ngiyithande ithrekhi. Okokuqala, lokhu kwathonywa ukuntula isipiliyoni, futhi okwesibili, kwakungekho ukwesekwa. Kodwa abaculi basaqala ukwenza i-albhamu yabo yokuqala.
Cishe ngokushesha ngemva kokwethulwa kwe-Rock'n'roll Lifestyle, abaculi bangeza i-Motorcade of Generosity ku-discography yeqembu. Abaculi baqopha, bakhiqiza, baphindaphinda futhi basakaza ingoma eyodwa kanye neqoqo bebodwa.
Futhi lokhu kuzimela kwabasiza abaculi. Iqiniso liwukuthi bashiya umkhondo "wezinyoni zamahhala" kanye nezinsizwa ezivela kubantu. Abaculi abazange banqikaze ukwenza amahlaya ngabo, futhi lokhu kwaba nomthelela eqinisweni lokuthi baqala ukuba nesithakazelo emsebenzini wabo "nje kanjalo."
ICapricorn Records idonse ukunaka kwe-albhamu yokuqala ethi Motorcade of Generosity. Inkampani yaqala ukusabalalisa iqoqo e-United States of America.
Izinga lokuqoshwa kwe-albhamu yokuqala laliphansi, ngisho nenjongo yamagama "ayizange ilondoloze" iqoqo. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ngo-1994 i-albhamu ye-Motorcade of Generosity yaphinde yakhishwa.
Ngawo lowo 1994, kwenzeka izinguquko zokuqala. U-Gabe Nelson wafika endaweni kaMcFessel, kwase kuba u-Victor Damiani, futhi esikhundleni somFulentshi, owayethe ukushona phansi ngemva kohambo, u-Todd Roper weza ezodlala izinsimbi zomculo.
Ngemva konyaka, abaculi bahamba bayovakasha. Bese bephinde bakhipha enye i-Rock'n'Roll Lifestyle. Umzamo wesibili ube yimpumelelo. Ingoma yaqala ukudlala eziteshini zomsakazo ezidumile zase-US. Izingoma ezidumile bezithi: Ruby Sees All kanye noJolene. Bekumele balungisele abathandi bomculo ukuthi bakhiphe icwecwe lesibili.
Inani eliphakeme lokuduma kweqembu lamakhekhe
Ngo-1996, i-discography yeqembu lehlelo lagcwaliswa nge-albhamu yesibili yesitudiyo iFashion Nugget. Ingoma ethi The Distance ibe yingoma eshisa izikhotha nengoma eshisa izikhotha kuleli cwecwe. I-albhamu ishaye i-Mainstream Top 40. Ngokushesha yaba i-platinum. Ukuthengiswa kweFashion Nugget kudlule amakhophi ayizigidi ezingu-1.
Kungalindelekile kwabaningi, uGreg Brown noVictor Damiani balishiya iqembu. Kuphela kamuva kwavela ukuthi abafana basungula iphrojekthi yabo, ebizwa ngokuthi i-Deathray.
Khona-ke izinhlelo zikaMcCree kwakuwukuthi ahlakaze iCake. Kodwa ngemva kokuba uGabe Nelson ebuyele ku-bass, washintsha izinhlelo zakhe. Ozongena esikhundleni sikaBrown akatholakalanga ngokushesha. Kuze kube kuqoshwa i-albhamu yesithathu, iqembu, okungukuthi, umculi oguquguqukayo, lalidlala.
Ngo-1998, ibhendi yethula iqoqo labo lesithathu, iProlonging the Magic. Ngokwesiko elidala elihle, amathrekhi amaningana aba amahithi. Sikhuluma ngezingoma ezithi: Never there, Izimvu Ziya Ezulwini Zidedele.
Zonke lezi zingoma ezingenhla zingene ekujikelezweni kwemisakazo emikhulu, okuqinisekisa izinga eliphezulu lokuthengiswa kwe-albhamu yesithathu. Ngokushesha yafinyelela isimo seplatinamu. Ngemva kokukhululwa kweqoqo, u-Xan Makkurdi wathatha indawo yesigingci eqenjini unomphela.
Isayina ne-Columbia Records
Ekuqaleni kwawo-2000, abaculi basayina inkontileka enenzuzo ne-Columbia Records. Ngemva konyaka, leli qembu lakhipha i-albhamu entsha, eyayibizwa ngokuthi i-Comfort Eagle.
Iqoqo alizange lingashayi eceleni abalandeli nabathandi bomculo. Kuthathe indawo enhle kumashadi - indawo ye-13 e-US neyesi-2 eCanada. Ividiyo yeculo i-Short Skirt Long Jacket ibonakale emoyeni esiteshini se-MTV. Kuze kube manje, isiteshi ngazo zonke izindlela silethe iqembu "ohlwini olumnyama".
Ngemuva kokukhishwa kwe-albhamu yesine yesitudiyo, u-Todd Roper walishiya leli qembu. Ekuqaleni lo mculi utshele izintatheli ukuthi unqume ukuzobhekana nomndeni wakhe. Kamuva kwavela ukuthi waya kuBrown noDamiani eqenjini iDeathray. URoper wathathelwa indawo nguPete McNeil.
Ukweseka i-albhamu entsha, ibhendi yahamba uhambo olukhulu. Abaculi bagxile ekuvakasheni e-United States of America.
Kakade ngo-2005, i-discography yeqembu yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu entsha. I-albhamu yesihlanu yesitudiyo yayibizwa nge-Pressure Chief. Lapha kube nezinguquko ekuqanjweni kwayo. UPete McNeil wavumela uPaulo Baldi.
Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, ibhendi yakhipha inhlanganisela ye-B-Sides ne-Rarities. Le diski iyathakazelisa ngoba ihlanganisa amahithi amadala, amathrekhi angakakhululwa ngaphambilini, kanye nezinguqulo ezimbalwa zekhava yezingoma ze-Black Sabbath War Pigs.
Ngaphezu kwenguqulo evamile, uhlelo olukhethekile lweqoqo lwakhululwa ngohlelo olulinganiselwe, oluhlanganisa kokubili izici zomklamo eziyingqayizivele kanye nenguqulo "ebukhoma" yengoma ethi War Pigs ehambisana no-Steven Drozd ovela ku-Flaming Lips. Uhlelo olulinganiselwe "abalandeli" balethwe ngeposi.
Ngo-2008, abaculi banquma ukuvuselela isitudiyo sabo sokuqopha (Upbeat Studio). Bafake i-solar panel e-studio. Iqoqo elisha lebhendi liqoshwe kuphethiloli welanga.
Kuphela ngo-2011 i-discography yeqembu yaphinde yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu entsha ethi Showroom of Compassion. Abagxeki bomculo baphawule ukuthi le yicwecwe lokuqala elinomsindo wekhibhodi. Ingoma yokuqala ye-albhamu eshiwo ngenhla ye-Sick of You iyatholakala ukuze isakazwe ku-YouTube.
Amaqiniso anentshisekelo ngeqembu lekhekhe
- UJohn McCree ugqoke isigqoko sokudoba (asigqoka esiteji). Lesi sisekeli sekhanda sesiphenduke "i-chip" eyinhloko yosaziwayo. Abaningi abamazi uJohane ngaphandle kwendwangu yasekhanda.
- Ukufana kwamakhava awo wonke amaqoqo kanye nezinye iziqeshana zevidiyo zeqembu kubangelwa inkolelo yabaculi emazingeni ahlala njalo.
