Biography

Edit

Finger Eleven is a Canadian alt-rock band formed in 1994. The current line-up is Scott Anderson, James Black, Rick Jackett, Sean Anderson and Rich Beddoe.

Their debut album Letters From Chutney (1995) was financed with contest winnings (from a rock band search contest) and was released under the name Rainbow Butt Monkeys. Tip, which was the first album they released as Finger Eleven, marked the change to a more mature sound and the departure of their original drummer Rob Gommerman.

Subsequent releases The Greyest of Blue Skies (2000) and Finger Eleven (2003) were gaining momentum amongst the record buying public, particularly when the single "One Thing" hit the mainstream, pushing Finger Eleven to US gold status. Movie credits followed including "Sad Exchange" (Daredevil) and "Thousand Mile Wish" (Elektra).

The most recent release is 2007's Them vs. You vs. Me which reached No.31 in the US Billboard charts, their best chart showing to date.
