The Figgs are a rock band out of Saratoga Springs, New York. First formed in 1987 (under the name "Sonic Undertones"), their output has included at least nine traditional full length albums (two on major labels in the mid 90s), multiple EPs and singles, a live album, and gigs backing Graham Parker since 1996 and on Parker's 2005 release ''Songs of No Consequence'', as well as Tommy Stinson of The Replacements fame. The original lineup of the band included Mike Gent (guitar), Pete Donnelly (bass), and Guy Lyons (drums), who all went to high school together. When Lyons temporarily left the band in 1989, he was replaced by Pete Hayes. Lyons returned in 1992, this time on lead guitar, to make the band a foursome. A record deal followed late in 1993. Lyons left the fold for good in 1997, after recording ''Couldn't Get High'', which followed the band's drop from Capitol Records. The remaining three Figgs continued to play, with several albums and regular concert appearances, as well as careers separate from the band. In May 2013 Lexus used The Figgs' ''Je T’Adore'' in a commercial entitled ''First Sight'' for the Lexus RX. ''Je T'Adore'' was released on the album ''Palais'' in 2004. ==Discography== This is a partially complete discography〔(The Figgs Music )〕 ===Albums=== *''Ginger'' (cassette) - Absolute A Go Go - 1992 *''Ready Steady Stoned'' (cassette) - Absolute A Go Go - 1993 *''Low-Fi At Society High'' (CD/Vinyl) - Imago - 1994 *''Banda Macho'' (CD/Vinyl) - Capitol Records - 1996 *''The Figgs Couldn't Get High'' (CD/Vinyl) - Absolute A Go Go/Stomper - 1998 *''Rejects'' (Vinyl) - Philthyrex - 2000 *''Sucking In Stereo'' (CD/Vinyl) - Hearbox/Peterwalkee - 2000 *''Slow Charm'' (CD/Vinyl) - Hearbox/Good Land - 2002 *''Ready Steady Stoned'' (CD Deluxe Reissue) - Stomper/Sodapop - 2003 *''Palais'' (CD/Double Vinyl) - Stomper/Sodapop/Soooo Intense - 2004 *''Continue To Enjoy The Figgs Vol. 1'' (CD) - Stomper - 2005 *''Follow Jean Through The Sea'' (CD/Vinyl) - Gern Blandsten - 2006 *''Continue To Enjoy The Figgs Vol. 2'' (CD) - Stomper - 2007 *''The Man Who Fights Himself'' (CD) - Stomper - 2010 *''The Day Gravity Stopped'' (CD/Double Vinyl) - Stomper/Peterwalkee - 2012 *''1000 People Grinning The Figgs Anthology'' (CD) - Stomper - 2013 *''Badger LP'' (Vinyl) - Stomper - 2014 *''Other Planes Of Here'' (CD/Vinyl) - Stomper - 2015 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Figgs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
