The group independently released their debut full-length FHNY on November 10, 2017.[1] Pop culture blog The Nerdist called their debut single, "Tantalized", "ideal dance music for the summer."[2] In 2020, former member Adam Schlesinger died of complications related to COVID-19.[3] [4]
The original formation of Fever High included model, actress, and musician Leah Cary. Fever High took shape in the summer of 2013 at the studio of the band’s producer/member, Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne). “Leah and I would come over to Adam’s studio and sing on demo tracks he would be writing for various things. We would joke about the three of us starting a band,” Nordeen told Bedford + Bowery. “Next thing I know, we’re thinking up band names. Adam wrote a few songs to get us started and now we all collaborate.”
Reni Lane plays numerous instruments, including piano, guitar, bass, trumpet and trombone. Lane released a solo album on Universal Motown and has since collaborated and/or toured with The Like, Joseph Arthur, Dave Stewart, Linda Perry and Howie Day.
Anna Nordeen is a singer, guitarist and songwriter. Nordeen has released a solo EP, "You Know Where I Am", along with acting in various independent films.
