There are at least four bands under the name of Faded ( listed here in chronological order) at one point on 2002 there were 5 other bands all trying to use the same name...! #1 Faded formed in the summer of 1997, emerging from the depths of the gloomy, foggy sunset district of san francisco. The band featured darren thompson on guitar, molly pettit on vocals, marco zermeno on bass guitar, and jeremy true on lead guitar, sampling and everything else. most of the music was written by jeremy, with a few notable collaborations with longtime bandmate darren. jeremy and molly shared lyrical duties, often collaborating on lyrics for maximum effect. Darren and Jeremy had been playing together in bands since 1990, taking on the shoegazer/alternative/dream pop style around 1993. their two-guitar interplay allowed for a rich, layered, sound, with a variety of complementary guitar effects, often compared to the Cure, Slowdive, or My Bloody Valentine. after a few years and a few singers, Molly Pettit was recruited to front the band in 1997, with a definte Siouxsie Sioux influence. Bassist Marco Zermeno, fond of bass heavy groups as New Order and U2 rounded the ensemble nicely. they recorded a demo tape which was warmly reviewed by San Francisco's The Guardian, and began playing the local club scene. faded quickly started to gain a following as an incediary live band. in 1999 "the low side of ok" was released to critical acclaim and heavy college radio & club rotation. so
