Trees (band)

:"This article is about the one-man band from San Diego, California. For the British folk rock band of the 1970s, see Trees (folk band)."

Fronted by Dane Conover, Trees was a New Wave one-man band from San Diego, California. Trees only released one album on MCA and produced by Earle Mankey in 1982 called "Sleep Convention" which was a critical success but a commercial failure due to MCA's problems at the time. And also created 5 Low Budget Music Videos. Reviews included comments like " Pop Music of the Future, and "is a stunning debut which shows remarkable originality and talent. That this record died the commercial death is not just incomprehensible, it's criminal."
Dane Conover ended Trees after one album to move on to other projects such as "PopGems" with his wife Marisa, and is currently working on a new Web site to house his music catalog (2006).

As of June 2007, Dane and his wife Marisa created a profile on YouTube and uploaded 30` of the Trees music videos that have never aired before (except for one) which were "Shock of the New", "Delta Sleep", and "India". [http://www.youtube.com/popgems] "Shock of the New" however aired on MTV2 once along with "Come Back". In November 2007, he uploaded the "Red Car" Music Video. And on September 18, 2008, he uploaded the "Come Back" music video.

Also Marisa has mentioned that they are currently undergoing a MySpace page as of January 2008. The one that is currently available [http://www.myspace.com/treessleepconvention] was not created by Dane or Marisa.
