History

Love Battery formed in 1989 in Seattle (the home of virtually all grunge bands) but with U-Men bassist Jim Tillman and Mudhoney drummer Dan Peters. Their name comes from a song by punk band Buzzcocks. Peters left early and Skin Yard drummer Jason Finn took his place. They released their debut, an EP entitled Between the Eyes in 1990, on Sub Pop. Two years later, their first full-length album Dayglo was released, which got great reviews. Soon after, Tillman left to pursue other interests. He was replaced at first by Tommy Simpson, who in turn left and Fairweather became the band's permanent bassist. 1989 (MCMLXXXIX) is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
