Melodrome: News

Wow. What a wild ride it was.
4 dewds, one red minivan, a gps unit named shaniqua and 7000 miles. Did I mention gobs of fresh rock?
Thanks so much for all your support out on the road: Joe and Christine Fletcher for inviting us to play at the Monterey Music Summit, Justin Mather for offering his crib to us outside of Las Vegas, Eric Ernie, Tom and Laroy for setting up the recording session at Studio City Sound, Norm and Beth for putting us up in LA, Casey for sneaking us in the back door of the Monterey Aquarium, Justin for being a drunk fuck pretending to work for Monterey Peninsula (we love you anyway, haha). We especially want to thank Julie and Richard for lending us their van for the road and Jason for coming along for the ride, helping with driving and loading. Last but not least we would like to thank all the fans, new and old, that came out at unexpectd times to rock with us. We love you all!!
Robby, Jesko and Otto

We have a new drummer to help us out when Justin can't make it. Meet Kali Baba at www.kalibaba.com. He is an incredible musician with infectious enthusiasm.

See you there:

We are heading out to the Monterey Music Summit in CA. Our old friend Otto Block will be joining us on the drums. He used to be the backbeat for our band Pearls At Swine. We are super psyched about rocking with him!!
Check the calendar section to see if we are heading your way this fall.

Check out our new sound on the music page!! These three rockers were created at Frank Aversa's (Spin Doctors producer) place in Great Barrington. These are ass kicking rough mixes... Please let us know how you like them!

Thanks for all the support! Lets make '06 even better

Melodrome is heading into winter hybernation writing mode. We rocked hard this year. Since our release of "Happens While You Blink" in April we have played 48 shows in just 7 months. That's without a booking agent, management or label. It's called kicking ass!!
Thanks to all of you who have come out to support Melodrome, have bought our CD's and left messages in our guestbook. We really appreciate your support!!
For the winter we are scaling down on the live shows and are psyched to go back into writing mode. The new material sounds very organic and rocks like a 78 Camaro with a hybrid engine, AC/DC with Bono lyrics. Oh yes, blatant bush bashing and anti war ravings are still part of the deal.
There is a rumor floating around that Melodrome might be surrounding themselves with a team of industry pro's to take the show up to a whole new level next year. Probably just a rumor. never mind. (If we were, we would be very excited about it though). In any case, keep up the hard rocking, dig deep and hang low, keep your finger on the pulse and witness the rebirth of Melodrome in the Spring.
Check back for sneak peaks of our new material soon!
