Come (2)

Alternative/Indie rock band formed in Boston, MA, in 1990 by singer/guitarist Thalia Zedek, guitarist/drummer Chris Brokaw, bassist Sean O'Brien and drummer Arthur Johnson. Come came into being after a mutual acquaintance invited Brokaw, O'Brien, and Johnson to play with him. Brokaw was playing drums with Codeine, Johnson had previously drummed for Athens, Georgia band Bar-B-Q Killers, and O'Brien had played with two other 1980s Athens bands, Kilkenny Cats and Fashion Battery. After playing one show together, Brokaw, O'Brien, and Johnson decided to split off into their own project and invited Thalia Zedek to join them. Zedek had played in the bands Uzi and Dangerous Birds and had met and befriended Brokaw in the mid-1980s. Her most recent band at the time, the post-no wave New York City band Live Skull, had disbanded in 1990 and Brokaw and Zedek had been talking about playing together. Thalia Zedek – lead vocals, rhythm guitar (1990–2001) Chris Brokaw – lead guitar, backing vocals (1990–2001) Sean O'Brien – bass (1990–1995) Arthur Johnson – drums (1990–1995 ) Winston Bramen – bass (1997–2001) Daniel Coughlin – drums (1997–2001) Zedek and Brokaw took a break after Gently, Down the Stream, and never reconvened to create a new album. Zedek and Brokaw each went on to release multiple solo albums, and performed together on a few occasions to play some Come songs live. Throughout its career, Come has supported and toured with Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Sugar, Dinosaur Jr. and many other seminal 1990s rock bands.
