SCREAMING TREES

Homebase: Ellensburg, WA.
Misc Notes: Screaming Trees was an Ellensburg, Washington-based band formed in 1985 by vocalist Mark Lanegan, guitarist Gary Lee Conner, bass player Van Conner and drummer Mark Pickerel. Pickerel had been replaced by Barrett Martin by the

time the band reached its most successful period. Although widely associated with grunge, the band's sound incorporated hard rock and psychedelic elements. Since its formation, Screaming Trees released seven studio albums, five EPs and three compilations. Screaming Trees is known as one of the originators of Grunge along with the U-Men, Green River, the Melvins, and Malfunkshun. Screaming Trees rose to fame as part of the grunge movement of the early 1990s, along with bands such as Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam and was one of the most successful underground music acts of the 1990s. The band achieved one top ten single, "Nearly Lost You" on the Modern Rock Tracks charts. Screaming Trees were plagued by extended inactivity due to their problems with making a follow up to Dust. This led to their official breakup in 2000.
