  • Alt-Nation Presents: Hot Women of Local Rock
    Alt-Nation Presents: Hot Women Of Local Rock Roz For several years around this time, the staff at the Alt-Nation desk has put together a “Hot Women of Local Rock” piece that has profiled talented female musicians. Last year there was a bit of a stink over the cover image and the whole concept came under fire. The last thing I would want is to offend anyone, especially people so passionate in their objections to the 6th annual edition of the column. So I wasn’t going to do the column this year. Then I decided, why the hell not? Elese Morrone – For The Love of Sloane -vox Now we’re ready to meet our first musician (drum roll please) – she’s the lead singer of a local alt-rock band that was the 2009 WXIN Rock Hunt Champions as well as a finalist in the 2009 WBRU Rock Hunt. This band has played everywhere from neighborhood bars to the big stage of Lilith Fair. They have recently finished their full length debut CD, Spells, Curses and Charms, which is tentatively set to come out around the beginning of April. From the band For The Love of Sloane, Elese Morrone come on down! MC: Who would you say are some of your biggest musical influences? EM: The first big musical influence is Blink-182. They were the first band that broke me from my typical teenage girl music: for this I am eternally grateful. The second biggest influence is Say Anything. I am absolutely in awe of the singer, Max Bemis, and his lyric writing as well as live performances.

  • Say Anything – a Goodbye Summation
    Say Anything A Goodbye Summation By Maxim Adam Bemis Completed On August 13, 2018 2018 Tyler, Texas This is a statement about my current status as a dude and Say Anything’s upcoming record and plans as a band. Our new record is done, and it’s called OLIVER APPROPRIATE. Our plans as a collective are to, kind of sort of, end Say Anything. Or “the first era of Say Anything”. Whatever you want to call it, it’s that thing. I don’t buy that shit when other bands do it, but whatever the fuck works as terminology. I need a break. We’ll return one day to play festivals and scoff at our career. But I want to say goodbye. There will be no full U.S tour to support the record or in the near future. I am done being a touring musician as my main profession. Say Anything is retiring in the sense that Jay-Z did. It’s not an indefinite hiatus or a breakup because that’s impossible. But we’ll get to that. Let’s start with OLIVER APPROPRIATE. It’s my first truly inclusive Say Anything record. A record with lyrics that can be sung by girls, boys and anyone under the sun without correcting the endlessly pervasive dude pronouns. My first record, …IS A REAL BOY, was written as a character. I mean that literally. We wrote a story. We planned on making it a musical. After that, people thought that character WAS me. In actual reality, there was no Molly, nor any “rough sex”.

  • Christie Dupree Vocals, Guitar Collin Dupree Guitar
    Christie DuPree vocals, guitar Collin DuPree guitar With their four older siblings and cousin comprising indie pop outfit Eisley, their brother-in-laws consisting of Max Bemis of Say Anything and Darren King of Mutemath, their mother being a vocalist and their father being a band manager – it surely would surprise none that Christie and Collin, the two youngest members of the DuPree family, would choose to embark on an equally creative and musical path of their own. The young duo has essentially grown up on the road, having toured alongside Eisley nearly non-stop since they were young kids, and have made the move to sharing the stage with the band as the opening act on recent tours. Prior to their days of performing though, the band spent their time honing their skills, learning as much as possible about music and songwriting, and developing their own unique sound. “I think I was 13 or 14 when I first started trying to write songs, I would just open up Garageband and record myself making up melodies and such. Then after a while I asked one of my sisters to show me a few chords on guitar, and started writing songs that way,” states Christie. “And since our mom sings too, we grew up always singing with her.” Christie kicked off her recording career in 2010, with the aforementioned Darren King serving as engineer on her very first [untitled] EP, which led Christie to the first tour offer opening for Eisley. Having accompanied Christie on guitar for the tour, it only made sense to have Collin officially join her as a collaborator on the project when it came up for the follow-up recording, and first official release.
