Feeder have kicked off their latest run of UK tour dates, and brought out former drummer Mark Richardson. Check out footage and the setlist below.
The new run of dates are part of the band’s ‘Comfort In Sound’ tour, which sees them celebrate their classic 2002 album.
That album landed on the UK Top 10 upon its release and spent more than two years on the UK Independent Albums Chart Top 50. It was their first release since the tragic death of original drummer Jon Lee, and saw Mark Richardson join the band as sticksman.
Feeder kicked off the anniversary tour dates for the record last week, and shows have so far included a slot at the O2 Academy in Leeds and the O2 Brixton Academy in London.
The latter saw them reunite with Richardson, who joined as drummer in 2002 and played on ‘Pushing The Senses’, ‘The Singles’ and ‘Silent Cry’, as well as the aforementioned ‘Comfort In Sound’. He left the band in 2009 to rejoin Skunk Anansie, and was replaced by Karl Brazil.
He appeared with the band in London, with frontman Grant Nicholas introducing him to the audience and describing him as “the hardest-hitting drummer I’ve ever, ever worked with.”
“Respect! How are you getting on Mark? Everybody say hello to Mark,” he added, also encouraging the crowd to chant his name. “Want to hear one with him? How about this one?” Nicholas said, before launching into fan favourite song ‘Feeling A Moment’.
He also stayed to play ‘Pushing The Senses’. Check out more footage and the setlist below.

As aforementioned, the 2002 release was their first album was their first without Jon Lee, who died by suicide in January 2002, aged 33. His death came shortly after the band finished a tour supporting Stereophonics across Europe, and numerous famous faces from the music world paid their respects at his funeral.
