A year after Daniel (Lloyd) left Salt Lake City (sometime around 2003-04),
he found a new home in Seattle, Washington. There, he and vocalist Micah
A. (Kojack Lemoune). met and assembled a band that Daniel named Wet
City Rockers. There is an obvious reference here to White City (in
fact there were a few gigs and almost an album actually named White City
Rockers.
Within this context, Daniel met bassist Norman Baker, Guitarists Bill Patton
and Jonathon Kimball, and Keyboardist Darren Pearson.
Wet City was a rootsy band with darkly melodic rhythms and sometimes humorous
lyrics. They enjoyed some success regionally and toured from the Northwest
into the Intermountain west. There was one self titled album released that
will available here at the Issue records website.
Ultimately, the group disbanded due to issues mainly between Kojack and
the rest of the band. He has since attempted to play shows and record tracks
using mostly rhythms that the original line up composed, but hasnt
been able to recreate the same chemistry that made Wet City the under-dog
powerhouse that it once was.
The rest of the band moved on and backed up Reggae legend Winston Jarrett
as the Solid Foundation Band. There we met up with Singer/percussionist
Naphtali Rashid, and guitarist Pudu Dawes (among other notables). While
working for a couple of years for Winston, Norm and Daniel put the band
to work on a dub project entitled Dub Lounge International and put out another
record called Dub Lounge One.
