Jed Davis
Jed Davis (born July 7, 1975 in Farmingdale, New York) is an American musician based in Albany, New York. He sings and plays keyboards as a solo artist and with Sevendys, The Hanslick Rebellion, Skyscape, Space Toilets, and Jeebus, and occasionally with Avi Buffalo.
Music career
Skyscape and early solo work
As a high-school senior, keyboardist Davis formed the band Skyscape with singer Domenic Maltempi in 1991. Skyscape recorded a CD, Band Of The Week, two years later. After moving to the Albany area to attend the State University of New York at Albany, Davis performed in a solo capacity, self-releasing a demo tape titled Jed Has Too Much Free Time. The demo's 33 songs were recorded on a 4-track cassette recorder by Davis and guitarist Alex Dubovoy in one weekend marathon.
Skyscape is still active, releasing the full-length album Zetacarnosa in 2009 and preparing a reworked version of Band Of The Week for a 20th-anniversary release in 2013.
The Hanslick Rebellion
Davis formed a new band, The Hanslick Rebellion, in 1995 with Dubovoy and bassist Mike Keaney. Known for a live show matched in intensity only by the group's backstage in-fighting, the Rebellion self-released the live cassette the rebellion is here in 1996. The volatile band imploded and ended in early 1997, reuniting for a tenth anniversary performance at New York's CBGB on September 22, 2005.
