Description
A Seattle, WA based rock and roll band that got going just as that city's musical revolution of the early 1990s was taking hold -- their first show happened to be with a band (also making its first live appearance) named Mookie Blaylock, who would go on to find a bit of success as Pearl Jam -- Sweet Water established a reputation as a worthy live act touring with Alice in Chains and Candlebox, in addition to landing a deal with Elektra's East West label, which would put out the bands' third offering, Superfriends, in 1995. The album found success buoyed by the single 'Superstar', which received considerable airplay on modern rock radio. As the decade drew to a close, however, the alt rock momentum had been killed off by the rise of boy bands and vapid dance-pop, and Sweet Water called it a (sort of) day after 1999's Suicide. Dormant for six-plus years, the group reformed in 2007, playing shows and working on material for a new album. In 2009, members Adam Czeisler (vocals), Rich Credo (guitar), Cole Peterson (bass), and Paul Uhlir(drums) were back in the game, with a new album -- Clear the Tarmac -- and a busy schedule of gigs on the agenda, including that year's South by Southwest Festival in Austin, TX. The band continues to push forward releasing their latest Firebird EP in November 2018.
