If one ever needed proof that Seattle wasn’t just producing grunge bands in the 1990’s, you only need to pullout this album as proof. Formed during the breakout year of Nirvana and Pearl Jam, Harvey Danger was a completely different animal. Embracing artists like Pavement, R.E.M. and Morrissey as well as Pearl Jam, this band mixed it all with loud punk guitars to forge their own sound. Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone? Is their debut, and it was an instant success, thanks to the immediate hit “Flagpole Sitta”, a joyful sounding romp that makes the exclamation “I’m not sick, but I’m not well” sound powerful. “Flagpole Sitta” brought a world of attention to the rest of the album, which didn’t have another hit on it, but did have a bunch of pretty great songs on it. The opener “Carlotta Valdez” is nearly as strong as “Flagpole Sitta”, with ferocious guitars and Sean Nelson’s superb vocals. “Private Helicopter” failed as a single, but succeeds as a high point of the album. Things even out from there, with nothing else standing out as great…but the album as a whole is most satisfying.
Unfortunately, Harvey Danger didn’t have much else in them. Their second album, King James Version, struggled badly out of the gate despite some good material (including the exceptional “Sad Sweetheart Of The Rodeo”). Their last album, Little By Little…, was recorded following a three year split and went unnoticed. The band hung it up after 17 years and only three albums in 2009, having never again gotten close to the success of “Flagpole Sitta”. But back in 1997, this was a band to watch…an exciting punky, heavy, yet sensible band from Seattle with awesome harmonies and great energy. It may not have panned out in the long run, but it was an exciting album. It still is…Merrymakers still sounds fresh and powerful, and is a great reminder that the Seattle music scene of the nineties wasn’t just about guys in flannel. There were also cool bands like Harvey Danger and cool albums like Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone?. A fading almost classic. [First added to this chart: 11/03/2013]
