LIVE
Live (often typeset as LĪVE or +LĪVE+) is an American rock band from York, Pennsylvania, consisting of Ed Kowalczyk (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Chad Taylor (lead guitar, backing vocals), Patrick Dahlheimer (bass), and Chad Gracey (drums). Kowalczyk left the band in 2009 and was replaced by Chris Shinn, but rejoined in December 2016. Live achieved worldwide success with their 1994 album Throwing Copper, which sold eight million copies in the U.S. The band had a string of hit singles in the mid-1990s including “Lightning Crashes”, which stayed at the top of the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for 10 consecutive weeks and the Modern Rock Tracks (now Alternative Songs) chart for nine weeks from February 25 to April 22, 1995. The band has sold over 20 million albums worldwide. (More from Wikipedia)
Thanks to the good people who contribute to the discography website Discogs, I have information on dozens of credits for Natasha Shneider that show her becoming more and more in demand as a vocalist, instrumentalist and songwriter as time went on. Natasha Shneider provided backing vocals on the song “People Like You” on the album V (2001) by the alternative rock band Live; and on “Methamphetamine Blues” by the Mark Lanegan Band on their album Here Comes That Weird Chill (2003), as well as “Sympathy” that appeared on the 2014 Mark Lanegan retrospective album Has God Seen My Shadow? An Anthology 1989-2011.
