Career (1989--1999)
Morphine was formed in 1989 by bassist/vocalist Mark Sandman, who had previously played with the bluesy alternative rock band Treat Her Right, and saxophonist Dana Colley, a former member of the local Boston group Three Colors. Drummer Jerome Deupree, who had played with Sandman in a former project called the Hypnosonics, joined Morphine and completed its initial lineup. They recorded their debut album, Good, for the Boston-based Accurate/Distortion label in 1991. The album received positive reviews and established a small but devoted audience. The band subsequently signed to Rykodisc, who re-released Good under its own imprint.[3]
Cure for Pain, 1993's followup, increased the band's audience outside of New England, and singles like "Thursday" and "Buena" picked up some college radio play. During the recording of Cure for Pain, Deupree, who was suffering from health problems, was replaced by Billy Conway, who had previously played with Sandman in Treat Her Right. However, Deupree still played most of the percussion work heard on the album. After the album was completed, the band toured the United States, Europe, Japan and Australia.
In 1994, "Sheila" and "In Spite of Me" were prominently featured on the soundtrack of the film Spanking the Monkey. The band returned to the studio in 1995 and produced Yes. The album featured the single "Honey White," the music video for which appeared on the MTV animated series Beavis and Butt-head.
Two years later, Morphine signed with DreamWorks Records, who released their major label debut, Like Swimming.[3] It was a critical success, but did not break the band into the domestic mainstream as had been hoped. DreamWorks released a music video for the single "Early to Bed"; directed by Jamie Caliri and released in March 1997, the nightmarish yet humorous video became an instant favorite among fans and was later nominated for a Grammy award. The band also released B-Sides and Otherwise, a collection of B-sides and live recordings, on Rykodisc this same year.
In the following time, Deupree once again began performing live and in the studio with the band, making the group a four-piece. The band's final studio album, The Night, was completed in early 1999.
On July 3, 1999, Sandman collapsed on the stage of the Nel Nome del Rock festival at the Giardini del Principe in Palestrina, Italy (near Rome).[3] He was soon pronounced dead of a heart attack and Morphine immediately disbanded. The Night was released in 2000.
Since then, Bootleg Detroit, an "official live bootleg", and The Best of Morphine: 1992--1995 have also been released by Rykodisc under the Morphine name. In 2009, Rhino Records released the two-disc set At Your Service, composed of unreleased Morphine material.
