Harvey Danger is a rock band that formed in Seattle in 1992 as Sean Nelson (vocals), Jeff J. Lin (guitar, piano, violin), Aaron Huffman (bass), and Evan Sult (drums).
Their first album, Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone?, was originally released on Arena Rock Recording Co. in 1997. Eventually, the band signed with a bigger label, Slash Records, and in 1998 rereleased the album with a new cover. The band had a modern rock hit with its first single, "Flagpole Sitta," an urgent, grunge-tinged track about losing one's mind. The album produced one other single, "Private Helicopter," which didn't make much noise on the charts.
Early the following year the group released a cover of English Beat's "Save It For Later" on the 200 Cigarettes soundtrack.
In September 2000, Harvey Danger released its second album, King James Version. The record garnered critical acclaim, but sold poorly, as first single "Sad Sweetheart of the Rodeo" stiffed at rock radio.
After the release of King James Version, Harvey Danger decided to take a break from writing and recording songs. During this break, Sult left the group, and was replaced on drums by Michael Welke. In 2004, the band reformed and debuted some new material at a handful of live shows. The group is currently in the studio putting the wraps on its third album, which is scheduled for release sometime in 2005.
