Joe 90 is an alternative rock group that originated from Gods Child. Initially established in New York City, the band later relocated to Los Angeles. The lineup consists of Chris Seefried, Gary DeRosa, Craig Ruda, and Adam Hamilton.
History
The band Gods Child produced multiple albums under Warner Bros. Records and achieved a 1994 hit with "Everybody's 1," which charted on Billboard in both the "Modern Rock" and "Album Rock" categories.
In 1996, after moving to Los Angeles, the group incorporated Hamilton as their drummer. Seefried and Hamilton collaborated on the track "Sleeping Pill" for an Album Network CD sampler, attributing the work to "The Amazing Adventures of Joe 90," a nod to the 1968 animated television series. This name was subsequently adopted by the band.
Joe 90 released their debut album, Dream This, in September 1999 through E Pluribus Unum under the Universal Music Group umbrella. From October 1999 until February 2000, they embarked on a nationwide tour supporting Counting Crows.
Their lead single, "Drive," featuring Adam Duritz, gained considerable radio exposure and was included in the second season of the television series Six Feet Under. Additionally, the song "Cars Go By" served as the closing credit music for New Line Cinema’s 1999 motion picture Body Shots.
The band’s last album has not been officially released.
