Semisonic

Semisonic is an American alternative rock band that consisted of Dan Wilson (lead vocals, guitar), John Munson (bass guitar, backing vocals, keyboard), and Jacob Slichter (drums, percussion, keyboard). They are best known for their late 1990s hit singles "Closing Time", "Singing in My Sleep" and "Secret Smile".

In 1995, they released an EP, Pleasure, and the studio full-length Great Divide in 1996.

Semisonic's breakthrough came two years later in 1998 when their second album, Feeling Strangely Fine, reached the Top 50 chart on the strength of the hit single "Closing Time", their biggest hit in the United States.

Their international career also blossomed when another song from the album, "Secret Smile", quickly became a UK radio favorite in the summer of 1999, eventually peaking at No. 13 on the UK Singles Chart.

In early 2001, the band released its third album, All About Chemistry. The single "Chemistry" was a mainstay overseas. Another song, "Over My Head", was used in the 2001 film Summer Catch, and Semisonic rode the wave of various tours in and around the UK.

Currently, the band is on hiatus but have played shows in 2010 and 2012 in the Minneapolis area.
