They came out of Plainfield 30 years ago all spit and sweat. Five albums later, FABCOM! Records released Rising on The Fourth Of July. Two of the songs were recorded and produced by Feelies guitarist Glenn Mercer who strums here with drummer Rob Takleszyn and bassist Bob Torsello. Unfortunately, original founding member Jay LoRubbio died in 2018 at 61. Silence ensued. Work on what would become Rising came to a dead halt. Enter Feelie Mercer who encouraged them to continue.
