Ed Kowalczyk, the main singer of Live, led one of the most popular American post-grunge bands of the 1990s, rising to fame with their second album, "Throwing Copper," released in 1994. Kowalczyk stood out from other '90s alt-rockers with his bald head and fierce eyes, but what set him apart was his complete honesty: he embraced U2's open-hearted approach as his own, choosing sincerity to irony. Between 1991 and 2006, Live recorded seven albums. After the band broke, Kowalczyk started a solo career in 2010 with Alive. Ed Kowalczyk's first significant endeavor outside of Live in his professional career was Alive. He met the other members of the band, who are all from York, Pennsylvania, when they were in middle school, and they played together before he graduated from high school. The trio continued to work hard after graduating from high school, finally signing with Radioactive Records in 1991 and choosing the moniker Live. Later that year, they released their debut album, "Mental Jewelry," but "Throwing Copper" in 1994 was their great commercial breakthrough. Around the time Kowalczyk began drifting away from the group, making a brief appearance in David Fincher's 1999 cult classic Fight Club, and singing on Tricky's single "Evolution Revolution Love" in 2001, Secret Samadhi followed in 1997, with "The Distance to Here" emerging in 2000. Early in the new millennium, the group released two more albums — "V" in 2001 and "Birds of Pray" in 2003 — before releasing its final record, "Songs from Black Mountain," in 2006. The band Live toured in promotion of the record until 2009, when they announced a break after a performance at the Palazzo in Las Vegas..
