Lion Fever

Portland, OR's Lion Fever features singer/guitarist Jennifer Pearl, bassist David Clifford, and drummer Kevin Garrison. In the summer of 2002, Clifford, who plays drums for <a href="spotify:artist:1y48yLZp1rk2v7zTYgShW5">Pleasure Forever</a> and was formerly a drummer for <a href="spotify:artist:3xDn0K5DhZ0DiGnt8nRaWr">the VSS</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4JPhMompNSEJydEqNcFXWL">Slaves</a>, and Jim Sclavunos & the Vanity Set, approached Pearl, formerly of <a href="spotify:artist:5OS5hiDMBDWDFmv6qhBaAF">the Lost Kids</a>, about forming a band together. The pair drafted Garrison to play drums, Clifford took on the bass duties, and the newly christened Lion Fever began crafting a style incorporating blues, '60s garage, punkabilly, and other darkly powerful styles, with artists like <a href="spotify:artist:12VaqyEhgwDRuFfEqbnrpz">PJ Harvey</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3Un18X4NF1bpjgUk44lUzn">the Gun Club</a> among the band's chief influences. By 2003 they were in the studio recording their debut EP, Lustre, which was released by Dim Mak in early 2004. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
