   About Alex Statan
A few years back when Alex Statan was a theatre major at UC Berkeley, the singer and guitarist brought his irresistibly witty, high energy game to The Gilman, the college town’s legendary punk club as part of a popular comedic punk band. Now, fully focused on his solo career but self admittedly “the antithesis of taking myself too seriously,” Statan’s poses a key question to his fans in the Bay Area and beyond on his explosive five song debut EP Go Big Or Go Home: “What if I happen to be your future lover?” Actually, for quirky reasons known only to the singer, he spells it “Luver”—and refers to the film Rush Hour 2 as a means of seduction for good measure. Statan’s been getting an amazingly positive response to that question ever since August 2007, when he first brought his powerful musicianship, cool persona and funk-punk pop attitude to San Francisco’s Hotel Utah Open Mic, considered the city’s best open mic by many local musical tastemakers. The venue’s MC J.J. Schultz set the tone when he said of Statan: “Alex has got some sort of energy when he plays - and I'd like to say it's infectious, but I won't, because that would be cliche, but let's just say it's communicable. Either way, I dig it and the crowd really gets into it, and Alex, generous performer that he is, feeds off that and returns it back to the audience and it turns into a feedback loop of sorts, and before you know it, it's bedlam, craziness, drinks are spilled and people are screaming! He's a pop craftsman and one heck of a singer.” Free Myspace Layouts

Call+Response is the rockumentary project I have been interning for for the past few weeks.. It would really cool if you could join this cause on myspace- http://www. causes. com/myspace/causes/93610?e=f8e43&recruiter_id=11031232

There are 27 million people enslaved in the world today, that's more than all four hundred years of the The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The movie is about the fight to stop it, using tools we already have. I know everybody's busy, but there are 27 million people out there hoping somebody will take the time to care. We ARE our bothers keeper.

At least we should be.


The solution to every overwhelming problem begins with a single, defiant voice. Your voice. -Quote from C+R website

you look like a rock star
one day I'm gonna meet people, and I'll say "you heard of Alex Staten, right?" and they will say "of course!" and I'll say "I was in a band with that guy in high school" and they will say "yeah, right, whatever" and I'll say "no, seriously, I swear. We wrote God's Got My Back together.
I'll play it for you some day"
