The Folk Implosion was an American indie rock/lo-fi band founded in the early 1990s by Lou Barlow and John Davis. It was initially a side-project started by Barlow to explore different territory than that being canvassed with his primary band at the time, Sebadoh. The name is a play on the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. ==History== The band's status was relatively obscure prior to the Larry Clark film ''Kids'', and its soundtrack, most of which contained original compositions by Barlow and Davis. One of the songs from the soundtrack, "Natural One", became a hit single. It peaked at No. 29 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, No. 4 on the Billboard Modern Rock Charts and No. 20 on the Mainstream Rock Charts.〔(Allmusic Artist Chart History )〕 The track peaked at No. 45 in the UK Singles Chart. Though the band attempted to duplicate the success of that song, their subsequent albums and singles were nowhere near as successful as "Natural One". In 1995, the band contributed the song "Indierockinstrumental" to the AIDS benefit album, ''Red Hot + Bothered'', produced by the Red Hot Organization.〔 〕 In 1996, the band covered the song "I'm Just a Bill" from ''Schoolhouse Rock!'' for the tribute album ''Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks'' as "Deluxx Folk Implosion". After Davis left the band in 2000, Barlow recruited Russ Pollard and Imaad Wasif from the band Alaska! to record ''The New Folk Implosion''. In 2002, the band appeared as the backing musicians for the main character played by Alessandro Nivola in the film, ''Laurel Canyon''. The band has not been active since 2004. 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 Folk Implosion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
