Feeder are a Welsh rock band, formed in Newport during 1992 by singer-songwriter-guitarist Grant Nicholas and drummer Jon Lee. Bassist Taka Hirose later joined after Grant responded to an advert. Jon Lee took his own life in January 2002 at his Miami home. Former Skunk Anansie drummer Mark Richardson was asked by Grant Nicholas to step in and record Comfort in Sound, he joined Feeder on a permanent basis and recorded two further albums. In April 2009 Mark Richardson parted company with Feeder and reunited with Skunk Anansie. Feeder have also been accompanied by touring members Matt Sime (keyboards; 2000–2002), Dean Tidey (guitar, backing vocals; 1998–present), Karl Brazil (Drums; 2009-present) and Dean Deavall (keyboards, backing vocals; 2008-present). Feeder first saw mainstream success from their third album Echo Park (2001), and its first single "Buck Rogers", which became their highest charting single at the time. Feeder have won two Kerrang! Awards in 2001 and 2003 for "Best British Live Act" and "Best British Band", as well as charting 24 singles and eight albums, with six of those making the top 10 between 1999 and 2008. 2008's Silent Cry was a relative commercial setback for the band, but are still active and are currently recording their seventh studio album. Feeder have also sold over one million albums in the United Kingdom since 1997, with Comfort in Sound being their best-seller and first platinum album.
