Music :Cause & Effect ( 90's Flashback)

I went to a concert in 1992 while spending the summer in Seattle with my cousins. KUBE 93 Summer Jam. There was a whole host of artists of the time Stacey Q , Gerardo  yet there was one band that I had never heard of Cause &Effect. They had this Depech Mode type of feel to them. Yet there sound was defiantly there own . My cousin and I rushed out to buy there cassette after the show. They hadn't really hit in the Eastern United States just yet. I think I'm going through a sort of 90's resurgence of my own.This happens to me once a year it seems. I wan't break out the rum raisin lipstick and slather myself with Victoria's Secret Pear Glace lotion. Live on Captian Crunch and yogurt again. Rock our a flannel with a lace camisole but it soon passes. Now back to Cause & Effect this is a band that you miss terribly or you may have missed all entirely.

" Cause & Effect were formed in Sacramento, California, consisting of founding members vocalist/guitarist Rob Rowe and keyboardist Sean Rowley. They originally released their debut in 1990 as a self-titled album on minor label Exile Records. C&E was subsequently picked up by BMGMusic subsidiary, Zoo Entertainment, and a reworked version of their album was released in 1991 as Another Minute. " ( Via Wiki Pedi ) 

Here are two of my favorite tracks off of Another Minute 








 The bands growth was cut short by the Death of Sean Rowley's sudden death in 1992. The band took some time after Rowleys death to reform and move foward.

" A period of contemplation and an invitation to the sold-out KROQ Acoustic Christmas Show followed, with the inclusion of the Rowe-penned acoustic song "Hollow" on a compilation by their record company, Zoo Entertainment. The song was dedicated to Rowley. "Afterwards, Rowe decided to continue the band's efforts with keyboardist Keith Milo and drummer Richard Shepherd. In 1994, the re-formed band released their second album, Trip, which was received with critical acclaim. The album spawned the single "It's Over Now", a number 7 hit on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart and the band's fourth single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 reaching number 67 in August 1994.Singles were also released for the songs "Alone" and "Inside Out", but both failed to make a dent in the charts."

So Where are they Now ?
Rob Row and Keith Milo carry on Cause & Effect still together with an album released in 2011

"An electronic fusion of cleverly crafted pop arrangements against a backdrop of layered synth textures and acoustic rhythmic flourishes. Intelligent, thought provoking lyrics and pleading melodies embedded in lush sonic soundscapes that are sure to captivate the senses of even the most discriminating listener. Cause and Effect’s Rob Rowe and Keith Milo return with their fifth studio album, “ARTIFICIAL CONSTRUCT.”  ( Via http://www.causeandeffect.com )
