Candlebox is a rock band from Seattle, Washington. Formed in December 1991, they originally named the band Uncle Duke andlater changed it as a tribute to a song by Midnight Oil. They were sometimes looked down upon by grunge fans for their style,which was considered by many to be a derivative version of true grunge, and their commercial success suffered as a result.Despite this, the band played the Seattle club circuit during the early 1990s to the many of the same fans who had supportedmany of the bands that had come immediately before them. The members did not consider Candlebox to be a grunge bandhowever; they viewed themselves as a rock and roll band more than anything. Nevertheless, Candlebox had sold more than 4million copies of their self-titled debut which, after many months of gaining momentum, peaked at number 7 on Billboard’s albumcharts. Their follow up album, Lucy, was certified as platinum. Their third and last album was Happy Pills, which was released in1998. Candlebox was the first successful act on Madonna’s Maverick Records, which went on to sign Alanis Morissette,Deftones, and Prodigy. Candlebox was known for an explosive live show and throughout their 8 year career, they toured with such bands as LivingColour, The Flaming Lips, Our Lady Peace, Rush, Henry Rollins, and Metallica. They were also a featured band on the main-stageat Woodstock ‘94 and made repeat live performances on the David Letterman show. « hide
