   About MSRP
This is the long, convoluted history of MSRP. A few years ago Nic Heidt (then on backup vocals and guitar) co-founded an band called The Eighth Day with a buddy named Shawn. After enlisting Nic’s longtime friend Craig Schultz to play bass and newfound singer Mallory, they started writing songs and playing shows. Member explosion. Shawn parted ways with the rest of the group to pursue his own interestes but kept the name Eighth Day. The rest of the band changed the name to MSRP (My Shawn Replacement Project) and continued writing songs whille waiting for Matt Heidt to move to Minneapolis so he could drum for the band. MSRP finished their first "album" Battery toward the middle of 2005. Mallory then inexplicably stopped showing up to practice and dropped off the face of the earth. Nic and Craig were undeterred and the hunt for a new singer began. After a few month or two of unsuccessfull searching, the arrival of Matt, and the modification of the bands name to the Mallory and Shawn Replacement Project, Nic decided to take on the mantle of lead singer himself. This meant they had to rearrange all the old songs and write a bunch of new ones since Nic (though he sounds oddly like a girl) did not have the soprano of Mallory. This still left a hole in the area of guitarist. Enter Alex Buehler, former venue owner (Ashland Undergound), guitarist, and Nic’s co-worker. There was some question as to wether or not he would be allowed in the band,as he insisted they change the name to Mecha-Sonic Robo-Penguins, but the rest of the band eventually relented on this concession and Alex officially joined the band. Guitarist recruited, MSRP wasted no time booking live shows. Member explosion: after finishing the album One-hundred Fold Origami Meteor in August of 2006, Craig was forced to leave the band to perform with his Mu Daiko group. Luckliy, Nic’s roomate Dave Erickson is an accomplished bassist (read Dream Theater fan). Since Craig parted with the band on very good terms, he agreed to show Dave the ropes of MSRP. That, along with Dave’s considerable talent, made the transition an easy one. The only difficulty was that Dave insisted on changing the bands name to Metal Schooled Raging Primates. After beating the other members asses a few times, they relented. One more hurdle remained, our keyboard player through all of this was Sony. Now he may have had a wonderful 40 seconds of anit-skip protection, but he just wan’t fitting in with the band on a personal level. Many heated arguments and a few all out fistfights, combined with his frustrating tendenacy to just just stop playing a song right in the middle of a show had created a lot of emnity toward him from the rest of the band. It was agreed he should be let go. Then in stepped Rob Cotter. Lady’s man, man’s man, man about town and a fellow Music Tech Graduate. Doubling as a keyboardist and occasional guitarist, Rob brought a whole new level of rock star to MSRP. Which then had to go through another name change, to Mega-Super Rockstar Pickles. Then another member explosion happened. Poop. Now it is pretty much down to a couple brothers making and releasing music in the form of digital singles. Bad for playing live, good for artistic experimentation. Enjoy. .. --> --> --> CDBABY LINK for MSRP: one hundred fold origami meteor --> Buy the CD

Flannery saw the photos of you from when you were a kid, and she said, "He still looks the same!" and I grinned and said, "I know."

Does that make me a pedophile?

I like the variations of what MSRP stands for, but I think you should be called something new, now. Maybe one of these:

Morrissey Shouldn't Really Pout

Many Shitheads Read Paperbacks

My Sassy Red Pigeon

Migrating Seagulls Return. Probably.

Mutant Sealion Roams Pitifully

Mysterious Sad Reject Piggies

My Sexy Rehabilitated Playmate

Matt Suggests Role Playing

etc. etc.

Thanks so much for the kind words man! I can't tell you to much about what mics and stuff we used for the guitar rig on Blindside, but JD was playing a Les Paul through a Mesa-Boogie Dual Rectifier, and Max (out other guitar player at the time) was playing a epiphone through a Marshall TSL. For all the new tunes JD was playing a Les Paul and a PRS thru different amps like the dual rectifier, a bogner, a custom audio, etc. Thanks again!
