Here's a link to a review of the Roger Green / Porlolo split:
http://music.westword.com/issues/2004-12-02/music/locals.print
Born and raised in Denver, I started playing in bands as a teenager with Patrick Park and Sera Cahoone. I then joined the Czars for a few albums. In 2006 I was contracted to write a composition for 25 typists and 5 musicians presented a the Blemar Laboratory of Art and Ideas in Lakewood Colorado. I also appear on the Blossom half of Ron Miles' Stone/Blossom album which was released by Sterling Circle Records in November 2006.
In November of 2004 I resigned from the Czars in order to work on my own music. For six years, the Czars was my main project. I was fortunate enough to work with Simon Raymonde and Giles Hall in the studio on The Ugly People vs. The Beautiful People (Bella Union / Manifesto 2001). During my tenure with the band we also recorded Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren" for a tribute called Sing a Song for You (Manifesto 2000), soundtrack music for the film "I'd Rather Be...Gone"(2000), X Would Rather Listen to Y EP (2002), and Goodbye (2004). I feel lucky to have opened for / played with Sixteen Horsepower, Woven Hand, Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots, David Gray, Low, The Flaming Lips, Elf Power, Imperial Teen, Ron Miles, Violet Indiana, Hem, Devics, Joe Sampson, Porlolo, Patrick Park, Heirloom, Scout Niblet, Red Cloud, Cowhause / Janet Feder, Momen Terra, and probably a lot more I'm forgetting.
Other releases include: The Way Things Go (2003): What Would This Be For? - Porlolo / Roger Green Split(2004): Roger Green S/T (2005): Blossom (2006); Clear Running Water (2007); The Glenn Taylor Orchestra (2008).

Hi Roger, I saw you at the Lab last Thursday. What an insane setup you have. Souded great as always. I'm hoping to manifest some of the energy you left in the Lab lobby for my stint under the staircase this Thursday.
