I'd hoped for these Raindancer tracks to appear ever since I first heard about them (maybe when Pete added them to Feeder Anorak), so it's great to finally hear them! And see the band, with Grant looking not too dissimilar to a George Michael of the time, and I love seeing Jon drumming on something 'new.' www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7kdRVXvVNGX9Y_FuHIA2bDQam035yR83I like the tracks but I'm most definitely glad Grant and Feeder found their own sound and headed in the direction they did. Coincidentally, a British band called Raindance also released a track called Hypnotised in 1991.

WOW!! This is BIG NEWS!
I almost had lost my hope of watching that footage, since feederanorak was reluctant to upload it to YT. I'm glad whoever bought that tape decided to do it for real.
About the tape, it's amazing how well it's been preserved. Great quality for an early 90's obscure footage.
About the music, their style was clearly different to Feeder's. Grunge boom definitely changed Grant's and Jon's style forever, though some bits feel like they were the seed of their future band.
I wonder what Grant's reaction will be when he come across with those videos (or someone share them to him).
Thanks Alex for sharing this Holy Grail!!

Yeah, it's a nice find. The funny thing is all of the bands/songwriters that influenced Grant really don't show up in the performance I watched. I echo the sentiment that I'm glad Grant changed his musical stylings.

Awesome find, in my Feeder/Grant's Complete Discography playlist, I was always missing this era of Raindancer, couldn't find any of the songs on YouTube. Nice to see them finally after all this time. Writing this as I listen to Hypnotized for the first time. The song sounds like a good bridge between Grant's time with Multi-Story and his future with Feeder. It has the Phil Collin's type of music sound but harder guitars than Multi-Story, although missing the Feeder grungy sound.
I am liking it on first listen, I guess I will have to figure out where to put these songs on my huge playlist, lol...
