History[]
Bleach was formed at Kentucky Christian University in Grayson, Kentucky, in 1995, originally under the name Muffin.[1]
In 1997, the band earned a Dove Award in the category of Modern Rock Recorded Song of the Year for its song "Epidermis Girl", from its first album Space.[2] The follow-up album, Static, reached No. 22 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart.[3]
In 2003, the band members announced that they were disbanding. The band said goodbye to its fans in the form of a farewell tour, which was followed by the final album Farewell Old Friends (2005).[citation needed] Their "last show" was performed on August 29, 2004, in Nashville, but on March 13, 2005, the band performed a reunion show to benefit the Memorial Fund. It also performed a reunion show at The O.C. Supertones's last show, at Biola University on October 7, 2005.[citation needed]
"Super Good Feeling" is on the Seltzer 2 album,[citation needed] "Waving Goodbye" on the Seltzer 3 album[citation needed] and a cover of dc Talk's "Heavenbound" on the Forefront Ten album.[citation needed]
[2] In 2010, Bleach reunited.
Davy Baysinger and Jared Byers have a side project band: Royal Empire Music.[citation needed] They have written songs for a compilation CD series called My Other Band for Mono vs. Stereo records.[citation needed] Russ Fox is now[when?] playing guitar in the rock band The Red Velvet and runs Huntington's Broadmoor Recording Studio.[citation needed]
Additionally, they made an appearance at the Cornerstone Festival in 2010,[4] and at the Sonshine Festival in July 2010.[5]
The band started their "Four States Tour" in July 2011.[6][needs update]
