Tele-Afflicted
A band that owes much to their seventies and eighties influences--Neon Trees was formed in Utah in 2005. The group is led by lead singer Tyler Glenn and guitarist David Allen, who moved to Provo, UT from Murrieta, CA. The other members include bassist Branden Campbell and a female drummer, Elaine Bradley.
They signed to Mercury Records in 2005, and after touring with The Killers and Panic At The Disco, found success with the single Animal, which climbed to #13 on the Hot 100.
After the song Animal was featured in an episode of Glee, their next single, Everybody Talks, was also a Top 40 hit in early 2011.
They still tour and record to this day, and are certainly worth seeing in concert.
Here is a Rig Rundown of their guitars and basses. Branden Campbell says of his Hofner and Rickenbacker basses:
"The Hofner, it chose me. This one night at a truck stop, you know when you go in there and they have those dreamcatchers and those sweatshirts that have owls and wolves on them, there it was glowing like Sponge Bob's magic spatula. No, but I mean Hofners and Rickenbackers take us back to Paul McCartney. It's a real classic sound. I'm instantly drawn to a lot of classic and vintage gear, even if it's not an actual vintage piece if it's more retro I'm down with that as well. It just tends to lend itself to acoustic settings and stuff like that. That is the Club Bass Limited Edition, and it's limited because it has the cavern spacing which means the rear pickup is up in the middle instead of back by the bridge. It also has a limited dark violin finish on there which is classy. I love, props to Hofner for sending it out with the Pyramid Flatwounds on it."
If you guys like Neon Trees then please say something nice about it.
