The Himalayans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Himalayans were a rock band formed in San Francisco in 1990 by Dan Jewett and Chris Roldan. They prided themselves on the quality of their live performances, putting considerable effort into audio engineering to get a "studio" sound in live venues.

The Himalayans disbanded amicably in 1991 when Adam Duritz left the band to form Counting Crows with guitarist David Bryson (who also produced The Himalayans' demo recording). The Himalayans song "Round Here" was recorded on Counting Crows' first album (being the opening track), and remains popular at their live performances. The Counting Crows hit "Mr. Jones" was titled after Marty Jones, Himalayans bass player and childhood friend of Adam Duritz.

The album She Likes the Weather was put together by Dan Jewett from a December 1991 studio recording of the band's set and their original demo tape, adding a few clips from radio interviews with the band. Tyrannosaurus Records will be releasing a digitially mastered version of "She Likes the Weather," on Thursday, April 12, 2007. It features Adam Duritz (vocals), Dave Janusko (guitar and bass), Dan Jewett (lead guitar), Marty Jones (bass) and Chris Roldan (drums). The 17-track album comprises the complete recordings of The Himalayans including 3 songs produced by Counting Crows' guitarist Dave Bryson, one of which is The Himalayans' original version of "Round Here" (later covered by Counting Crows). It will only be available through the Dino-Store.
