Sneeze were a thrash pop music group formed in 1993 by founding mainstays Nic Dalton (who ran the band's record label, Half a Cow) on lead vocals, bass guitar, guitar, keyboards, harmonica and percussion and Tom Morgan (from Smudge) on vocals and lead guitar. They issued four albums, Sneeze (January 1994), The Four Seezons ( 1997), Lost the Spirit to Rock & Roll (2001) and Just The Blues Sped Up (April 2004), before disbanding in 2006. They reformed in 2009 and disbanded again in 2011.
Sneeze were formed in Sydney in 1993 by Nic Dalton (ex-The Plunderers) on lead vocals, bass guitar, guitar, keyboards, harmonica and percussion and Tom Morgan (from Smudge) on vocals and lead guitar. In January 1994 they issued their debut album, Sneeze, which initially comprised 20 tracks with none over two minutes in length on Dalton's own label, Half a Cow. It was recorded with Lara Meyerratken (aka Lara Larson) on drums and a range of guest musicians: Simon Day (from Ratcat) on guitar, bass guitar and vocals, Alannah Russack (from the Hummingbirds) on guitar and vocals, and Evan Dando (from the Lemonheads) on guitar and vocals. It was expanded by 21 additional tracks and released on CD as 41 Songs in 47 Minutes (June 1996).
Dalton later recalled that the group was initially a studio-only side project, "Tom and I were just writing these short songs for Smudge, I was in the Plunderers and the Hummingbirds. The Lemonheads were the first band to record a Sneeze song, even before Tom and I did. We ended up starting Sneeze, but we never thought we’d play live." Sneeze's second album, The Four Seezons (1997), has one side providing their "take on Vivaldi's Four Seasons" and the b-side has live tracks recorded at Fbi Radio. After Meyerratken left the group they used "several drummers including using the drummer of their support act for the evening."
