You can check out her IMDB here.We have started a new film composition project (Other Lives film shorts), as a result, members of the band will be working with other film makers to capture different emotions through film/music composition.

Jonathon Mooney Graduated!

Jonathon Patrick Mooney Graduated yesterday! We had a party at the studio that started at 4:00PM and lasted until just before daylight..... The Ramones were pumping around 2:45AM and the energy was still pretty thick in the room. It was nice to take a break from recording for the weekend to be with our close friends. Back to work tomorrow! The songs are going great.....can't wait to share them with you.

Other Lives Christmas Song!

So...Christmas is over and 2010 is among us......our second album is getting closer and closer week by week.....It's really great to see the songs coming to life. While you are waiting, here is a fantastic and freaking hilarious Christmas song written by Colby.....Performed by Jesse and Colby. I personally think it should be an official and house hold Xmas song....next to jingle bells, Here comes Santa Clause, etc.....

Happy New Year....more photos from video shoot

Screen Grabs from new music video...Directed by Shaun Peterson

Other Lives Music Video

Yesterday we shot a music video for a new song called Dust Bowl Drone. We were very fortunate to meet Shaun Peterson in LA after our Henry Fonda show with Bat for Lashes and he had expressed an interest in doing some video work for us....We took him up on it. As a result, we made two new friends in the process, Shaun and Joline Towers. Make sure you check out Shaun's work Here. His production company is called Grandpa Jones Productions. We will be posting a making the video clip soon......so you can see how red our noses were from the cold and how weak we looked from hauling the piano in the picture above from field to field. The shoot really couldn't have gone any better.....we got some snow at the end of the day.

Basketball Diaries

There’s this newly added column made of two by fours in the studio that keeps the roof from caving in, and this week we found an additional use for it. We took my old djembe (it was a gift, I swear) which has a broken head and tied it to the column to make a basketball goal. See, we have all these mini basketballs around the studio because every time Jesse goes to the gas station down the street he plays the prize grabber game thing and wins a basketball every single time. He’s a pro. Anyway, Jesse and I had some pretty heated games today. We play best out of 10 from the line, and trash talking is definitely aloud. I’m not going to say who won today, because that would come across as bragging. Ryan (our neighbor from Colourmusic) came over today and said he was ‘glad that someone finally made good use of a djembe.’

Despite the new basketball goal, we’ve gotten a lot done. We just wrapped up a song today so we're feeling pretty good.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to everybody, hope you had a fulfilling holiday. Just thought I would let you know I won a drawing for the first time. My girlfriend entered my name and I ended up winning a PBR bicycle. Guess I just needed her for luck. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Found this today......
