I have officially moved to Eugene Oregon. Well… As all moves go there is stuff in more than one place. I will be back to making new songs before the end of next month. I have a bass player now. I don’t feel we will be ready to do a full show for awhile yet. I am reading a ton! I just finished Ripped: How the Wired Generation Revolutionized Music. It’s a book by Greg Kot. It’s one of the best books about the modern music industry that it out there. It’s a must read for anyone who wants to be a musician. Buy it! Read it! I have started writing my animated show. It’s gonna take some time before it’s out. RMM will be doing all the music and all the animation. The story is going to follow a post revolutionary America. It will Star a girl named Star who is a fighter and Kilo a young boy who has a talent for fixing and making machines. It’s still in the idea stage but it’s coming along. Our next album should be out before next summer. Keep in touch!!! Much luv!

Sorry for that. I will be getting on the road again soon but I have some things to do first. I will be moving soon (actually kinda in the process of this one). I want to start a new album soon which will include some new songs like “decay”. If you came to any of my recent shows, you’ve heard it. I am thinking of making an ep this time. I am staring to train a bass player now. The ReadyMade Memories is growing a bit larger. I am also going to be working on some YouTube stuff coming up in the next few months. Check all of this out! I will keep you posted. If anyone wants to get into film making with me you should message me. em@thereadymadememories.com <— My Email! I’ll keep you all posted on current events. Oh wait… I almost forgot! I am doing a guest small set at the WOW hall for the volunteer party. Check that out. I’ll post more information soon. It’s on the 19th.

On the 8th of June I will be at the Muse for an awesome show with Tugboat and SeaBell. I am doing a opening guest set with these bands. Don’t miss it. Three bands for free.

In other news… I am going to start recording my second album in the coming months. It wont be out until next year but if you come to the shows you’ll start to hear some new tracks. The second album, tentatively called “Can you hear me now?”, should dive past Rebel without a clause into a new realm of indie/electronic/rock/madness… You can quote me if you want. :) I can’t let too much out right now.

As you might know, I live in Oregon. It’s been kinda dull around here lately. I think it’s this time of year every year when I say, “I’m getting out of the depressing grey state!” I haven’t done it yet. Oregon is getting everyone right now. It’s been raining waaayyyy to long. I was born in Arizona. Now Arizona is full of sun; however, everyone who spends to much time outside ends up looking like a prune or leather. I guess there is negatives to every where. If your in Oregon the only way to escape the grey is to come out and have fun. Have some fun with me.

They are worth checking out if you get a chance. I’ll post a link at the bottom of this post for all you awesome people to check out. You life will be much richer if you do. I am like a fortunate cookie so listen up. :)

Tonight I am playing the BlackForest in Eugene Oregon. (Me home town for now…) It’s a free show so it’s a great value. It’s all I can do in this bad economy to help my fans out. Look RMM is doing their part. Do yours. Show up. I play at 10 pm. You know my shows are known for the great light displays and massive amounts fun. The party is happening tonight! Check it out. There are two other bands playing after me. Three guys who paint play indie rock goodness. Recycled Radio play a mash of Grindcore, Electronica and Experimental. They will light up your ears at close to midnight. Remember to show up early for RMM. I play at 10 tonight.

The Pacific is on HBO and is like band of brothers on the pacific front. What a great show. If you haven’t had a chance to check this show out I would to it. My grandpa was in the pacific during world war 2. I never really knew him but this gives me a chance to know what he went though. He won a lot of metals but the war really messed him up. It’s a great look at a generation of people that we too soon forget about. A great generation. A generation that stared in to the face of oblivion and didn’t blink. It gives you incite even to our solders today. If nothing else, you will learn to care about what they go though. Watch it. It’ s really one of the great shows on TV at the moment.

I am also getting airtime on Jango radio. I just signed a deal with them to play my songs online though their service. It’s going great RMM is reaching way more people than ever. Besides all the business talk, I have been busy lately working on promoting and playing a lot of gigs. If you anywhere around the north west RMM will be playing near you soon. My last show at the Wondering goat was a blast. I ran off the stage at one point and climbed on chairs. Great fun. I think I might have scared some people. :) You never know what’s going to go on at ReadyMade memories shows. Thanks to my awesome roadie staff! They are the best for putting up with all my craziness. Amber, Dre and Carson you guys and girl rock! I love you all!
