(Vocal/instrumental group, 1989–2009)

Formed in Pennsylvania, Live – who pulled their name out of a hat – comprise Chad Taylor (guitar), Patrick Dahlheimer (bass), Chad Gracey (drums) and Ed Kowalczyk (vocals). Local shows soon won a following for their blend of rock with a spiritual message that suggested a 40-watt U2. Their debut album Metal Jewelry (1991) won a wider indie fanbase whilst Throwing Copper (1994) saw them enjoy US chart success. The band produced three albums in the 2000s.
