They formed in 1976 and disbanded in 1992 having released four albums. The band reunited in 2008.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Feelies rarely worked with outside producers and created shimmering soundscapes with multiple guitar layers that set them apart from most of the punk/New Wave bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s. They frequently played at Maxwell's, a live music venue and bar restaurant in Hoboken during the 1980s, often on national holidays.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough the Feelies never sold a great number of records, their influence was felt on the indie rock scene. Their first album, Crazy Rhythms (Stiff Records, 1980) was cited by R.E.M. as a major influence. Several bands have in turn influenced the Feelies, including The Velvet Underground and Lou Reed. The novelist Rick Moody has also cited the band as one of his influences.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band's name is taken from a fictional entertainment device described in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.[citation needed]\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/The+Feelies","playStationPath":"/stations/114566621/play","stationId":114566621,"bioPath":"/music/The+Feelies/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Elvis+Costello","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/21f/21f8346324d84bcb8552f5d9f7a551cc_md.jpg","artistName":"Elvis Costello","artistId":367,"station_id":113274514},{"musicPath":"/music/Aztec+Camera","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/061/0611eaf7055a468411e346adbce57a90_md.jpg","artistName":"Aztec Camera","artistId":2698,"station_id":113433364},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Jesus+and+Mary+Chain","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a54/a5475f74f525b7aa28d6aeaac7b927fc_md.jpg","artistName":"The Jesus and Mary Chain","artistId":1467,"station_id":113457471},{"musicPath":"/music/A+Certain+Ratio","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/3b6/3b68cd7ac98cacba56e861fa3e3587b4_md.jpg","artistName":"A Certain Ratio","artistId":3018,"station_id":115972362},{"musicPath":"/music/Section+25","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7cb/7cb2410d5c297ca095089507a07ee75e_md.jpg","artistName":"Section 25","artistId":1787,"station_id":113351197},{"musicPath":"/music/Stephen+Malkmus+The+Jicks","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/053/0531099b89818d495cfb09979aed8f15_md.jpg","artistName":"Stephen Malkmus \u0026 The Jicks","artistId":10820,"station_id":267905716},{"musicPath":"/music/Delta+5","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/69e/69e4ef1f0ef73c53be0c98f24881d9a7_md.jpg","artistName":"Delta 5","artistId":8115,"station_id":113581724},{"musicPath":"/music/Japan","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/369/369cf043be99cfb805bd25a80ce6f245_md.jpg","artistName":"Japan","artistId":6790,"station_id":113273000},{"musicPath":"/music/Ought","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/279/279fe9bf95f628b76a1cca3ffe826189_md.jpg","artistName":"Ought","artistId":281729,"station_id":373434876},{"musicPath":"/music/Squeeze","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/679/67901b53c8ddeb1d773f038b3642f269_md.jpg","artistName":"Squeeze","artistId":5054,"station_id":113286704},{"musicPath":"/music/Life+Without+Buildings","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d3b/d3bb28b4b8dccc45ce507f78f0bd7001_md.jpg","artistName":"Life Without Buildings","artistId":8118,"station_id":114671454},{"musicPath":"/music/Shopping","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/aed/aed632118b1959b5dcc98c83ef0ff16f_md.jpg","artistName":"Shopping","artistId":369779,"station_id":395083633},{"musicPath":"/music/Mission+of+Burma","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d06/d066c9449f89c3c7eacd30ad8c73f0ea_md.jpg","artistName":"Mission of Burma","artistId":1299,"station_id":113696925},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Walkmen","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/199/1992fecaec096af1dd8beed75c2a2fe3_md.jpg","artistName":"The Walkmen","artistId":777,"station_id":113355785},{"musicPath":"/music/Violent+Femmes","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/225/22582ff0474143a8d28ac0f9a9ace830_md.jpg","artistName":"Violent Femmes","artistId":2069,"station_id":113280415},{"musicPath":"/music/Lloyd+Cole+and+the+Commotions","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/49a/49aa0f3fa0e7436bcd89dbfd47129e1a_md.jpg","artistName":"Lloyd Cole and the Commotions","artistId":506,"station_id":113382817},{"musicPath":"/music/Sonic+Youth","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/92e/92e15933e44eb8e3b99b3c3e1d7e2f84_md.jpg","artistName":"Sonic Youth","artistId":683,"station_id":113300539},{"musicPath":"/music/Joy+Division","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2c6/2c623e98b91553144df429184bf525bc_md.jpg","artistName":"Joy Division","artistId":1236,"station_id":113273408}]}
