HARDWIRED MORE CANTILEVER SWALLOW SAINTS & SIMPLETONS PURPLE HEY JUDE LAW SOME RESEMBLANCE I'VE SAID ENOUGH OF MY NAME HIGH CENTERED "The voice of an angel. Melodies from the hand of God. Guitars from hell. Songs about murder, unconditional love and Jude Law. " http://www.thepeopleinvolved.com Way, way back in Portland, OR Autumn 2001 Clark (formerly of Louis Says and Lowcraft), Josh (formerly of Louis Says) and Billy (formerly of Lowcraft), who had all played music together in various incarnations for over 15 years invited Chris in on a jam over at Clarks beautiful recording studio. A good time was had and it became a semi-regular thing during the cold, dark autumn evenings. Candles, incense and stimulants were present (yes, these were jams.) Nothing more or less. Clark would record everything, never to be shortchanged in case a good section came out of it. After a few of these get-togethers we discovered that with a bit of shaping and mixing, we actually did get a few tracks out of it. Mind you, we were in quite a different zone back then, and lets just say, the music was, well, jammy. Soul, funk hell we even went to Brazil and back on some of those tracks. What we learned was that we had a good chemistry going, and that we liked making music together. So we got ambitious. We started working. During daylight hours no less. We even drew up a constitution! We signed a contract with one another that basically made sure that we would honor and respect everyones creativity and commitment to making good music. How very rocknroll, yeah?!? We started to write songs together as a band, and almost immediately it became apparent that the music would take on a more dark and harder guise. I mean for the most part we love listening to Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, The Police, Soundgarden, The Beatles and Bowie, etc so it was only natural that wed follow more in those footsteps. We pretty much replaced the acoustic with the electric and you know, ah, let mayhem prevail. And then we called Nathan (formerly of Tales Untold and Lowcraft). His angelic voice and his genius melody-making were exactly what we needed to put the songs over the top. And so it came to pass. From Jan-June 2002, when there was time to get together, we wrote and recorded 11 songs. Along the way we lost the brilliant Billy on drums, but we were lucky enough to meet Todd who took over percussion duties on 5 of the 11 songs with about a days notice and what an excellent fucking job he did. So now we have a record. And its yours if you want it. And there will be more to come, cos were just getting started Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites          Add your comment
