Come

1990–2001·Boston, MA

Thalia Zedek's post-Live Skull band. Slow, bluesy, devastating — Zedek's voice doing the heavy lifting over Brokaw's second-guitar counterpoint, Sean O'Brien's bass grounding it all. Eleven:Eleven in '92 is one of the great records of the 90s noise underground — imagine the Stooges on sedatives recorded in a rainstorm. Four albums, all great.

People

Thalia Zedek
guitarvocals

One of the great voices in American underground rock. Live Skull in NYC in the 80s, Come in Boston in the 90s, solo records since. Zedek's voice has a lived-in quality — slow-burning, bluesy, weary — that turned Come's records into something permanent.

Chris Brokaw
guitardrums

Come's second guitarist and one of the secret weapons of 90s American indie. Drummed in Codeine before Come. Solo records, soundtracks, endless collaborations. The definition of a player's player.
