Fetchin Bones was a cross-genre rock band from North Carolina. During a six-year career they produced four studio albums but were most celebrated for inspired live performances. One reviewer stated they were "a band that must be seen live for a full grasp of their eclectic frenzy".[1] During numerous tours Fetchin Bones supported acts such as R.E.M., The B-52s, X and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.[2] Allmusic described the band as "a truly underrated group that didn't hit it big when they should've".[3]
Musical style
The band mixed blues, punk and country music, and Hope Nicholls' "powerhouse" vocals were compared to Janis Joplin's in their "dirty intensity".[4] In a 1985 interview with Andy Kershaw on The Old Grey Whistle Test, Nicholls said her influences include British bands Siouxsie and the Banshees and the Cocteau Twins.[5]
Fetchin Bones' first three albums were produced by Don Dixon and recorded at Mitch Easter's Drive-In Studio and at Reflection Studios in Charlotte. The fourth and final album was produced by Ed Stasium in Los Angeles.
The band had pioneered a kind of grunge rock. However this style did not yield commercial success.[6]
