   About drag the river

drag the river new album
This is the timeline we made for a guy a long time ago. He was going to make a bio for us. He never did...so we just keep adding onto it. During the early days of the Blasting Room there were many open hours for learning how to make records. Jon & Chad recorded around 20 some songs in late '96 & early '97. Whoever was in the studio that day could play. They just basically had to learn the songs in the time it took to play them. Over the next couple years those recordings were bootlegged alot. So they finally released "Hobo's Demos" and did some touring around the turn of the millennium. In March 2002 the band released "Closed" which was also Upland/O&O records. That label is owned & operated by the All-Descendents family & co run by Joe Carducci of the legendary SST label. They put out all your favorite 80's punk records like Black Flag, the Minutemen, DESCENDENTS, Meat Puppets, FIREHOSE, Husker Du.....all those and too many more to mention. At that time Karl Alvarez left & J.J. from the NOBODYS joined and they started traveling more seriously. Later that Oct. 2002 they put out "Live at the Starlight" on Mars Motors (Jon, Flash and Chris Irwin's label) & produced their live vinyl only release. That was a bar room idea that had little chance but actually happened. The companion to "Live at the Starlight" is "At the GREEN DOOR O.K.C." a humbling & totally different show recorded five days later in front of a less than excited crowd. The "Chicken Demos" is the sister release of "Hobo's Demos" and came out May 2004, also on Upland/O&O. "Hey Buddies" e.p. was released in Nov. '04. 6 songs co-released by the fine people at Red Sand. It was super limited to begin with and more limited when more than half of them were stolen at a show in Green Bay. Two months later a more widely available version with different art & packaging was released by Mars Motors & distro'd by suburban home records....beginning that relationship. At this point Zach went back to school and the band kept on as a four piece....but not without infrequent visits from Chad Rex who easily stepped in when available. Casey Prestwood picked up the steel duties from Feb. 2005 until Oct. 2006. He was rad & continues with his band Hot Rod Circut. In October 2005 Paul entered his silver years surfing in California. He is sent with the band's love & suggests Dave Barker of "Love Me Destroyer- Pinhead Circus" fame to take over the drum throne. In Dec. '05 the band mixed songs for 3 different 7inches. Chris "gobo" Peirce of ''technical ecstasy studio" in N.J. mixed & recorded two songs for a "THIRD WORLD INDUSTRIES" 7in. outta Chicago. & the others were mixed at Jon's where they were recorded. the first release is from our friend Darick's label "wallride" in MD. & the other a split with the City Mouse who is a Denver spoken word-poet type. Memphis buddies LUCERO are also doing one. In January '06 the band recorded a new record at the Hideaway in Sedalia Co. with Marc Benning. An all analog studio totally lost in the Colorado mountains. Marc had a bad snow-boarding accident and those songs minus three have been backburnerd for the next album which will hopefully come out before 2007 or soon after.....Marc is bummed but he's gonna be o.k. there is also a split with the DENTS from Boston out in early 2007. The bands cover each others unreleased songs. "It's Crazy" from Suburban Home Records is out June 6th 2006....guess this is 10 years of music for the band. Jan. 2007 the band mixes the remaining songs from the HIDEAWAY sessions & track new ones at the Blasting Room with Jason Livermore. This was released in Jan. 2008. It never ends.
