Green (band)

Green (band)

Green is a rock and roll band from Chicago. The band was started by Jeff Lescher (guitar and vocals), John Diamond (bass and backing vocals), and John Valley (drums). This lineup recorded the 1984 "EP7" and the band's 1986 self-titled debut album.

Green established themselves via live shows around Chicago and undertook several national tours with the assistance of manager Cindy Illig. In 1986, Diamond and Valley elected to leave the band as Lescher announced plans for a national tour. Recruited from local music papers and from among their Chicago fan base were new bassist Ken Kurson (who had his own band, Circles, and later fronted the Lilacs), rhythm guitarist Stuart Shea, and drummer Rich Clifton. Shea departed following a brief U.S. tour, and the remaining three-piece recorded "Elaine MacKenzie," including the tracks "Heavy Metal Kids," "She Was My Girl," and "Radio Caroline." The group's membership changed again when Mark Mosher (drums/vocals) and Clay Tomasek (bass/vocals) joined the group for the "Bittersweet" E.P. in 1993.

In 1990, Green released an EP called REM, this after the band R.E.M. released an album called Green. The band's most recent album, "Eau de Vie" was released on the Jettison label, owned by Jeff Pezzati of Naked Raygun & Big Black.

The group have recorded and were planning to release their seventh album in 2007.
