The group's second album, Brotherhood Of Electric: Operational Directive(s), is due Feb. 9 on Time Bomb Recordings. Wellwater Conspiracy was founded by Cameron, who initially performed under the pseudonym Ted Dameron; singer Zeb, better known as former Soundgarden bassist Ben Shepherd; and McBain. The three musicians first recorded together as Hater on a self-titled album released by A&M in 1993. With the 1996 release of the album Declaration Of Conformity on the Third Gear label as well as several 7-inch singles, Wellwater Conspiracy first gained notice. Three years later, Cameron has taken over lead vocals as Shepherd is no longer involved in the project. Those expecting a grunge-fest based on the Cameron's and McBain's previous bands will be disappointed. Wellwater Conspiracy draws from such influences as the Troggs and the Nuggets compilation. Cameron, who is featured on Pearl Jam's Live On Two Legs and the band's fanclub Christmas single, replaced Jack Irons in April 1998 when the former Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer was unable to tour "due to health reasons." It's unclear if Cameron will continue to be in Pearl Jam or Irons will return to the fold. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1999 16:19:01 -0330 From: Marc Hollett Subject: MTV Live 'N Loud???

Saw that Jeff was nominated for a Grammy this year. It's kind of sad that he had to die for people to actually notice not only his great and powerful voice but his great musicianship. People have been saying that Jeff and Chris respected each others music the most, well from what i hear, there is a huge poster of the "Grace" album cover hanging in the offices of Silver Management signed by Jeff to Chris. So there you go. Just my $0.02 -- -AS mailto:asnod@home.com http://members.home.net/asnod |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | "Everybody likes my stuff!
