"Redder Cells" at The Edinburgh Castle in San Francisco, shot and directed by CJM.
Music For Animals took shape in late 2004 in San Francisco, Ca when
vocalist Jayson Martinovich and bassist Eli Meyskens split with their
old band, One of Many, in search of a different sound. They searched
out new members and quickly found guitarist Nick Bray, whose
personality and tasteful playing had left an impression on them years
earlier. The last member to be added turned out to be a craigslist
gem, a recent Pittsburgh transplant drummer searching for a band
online. After a lot of wooing and courting the boys won Ryan Malley
over and he proved to be the deciding factor in which direction the
band was headed by serving as the backbone and pulse to mfa's rhythm
heavy sound. The band made a name for itself quickly in 2005 by
winning a Battle of the Bands in San Francisco, which allowed them to
open for Chicago rockers OK GO. From there the band moved on to open
for Mando Diao and The Lashes then on to tour California to spread
their music from Sacramento to San Diego. The band has since gone on
to spread their sound from Denver to Seattle, Portland and even to the
far off barren towns of Utah. In between these tours the band
recorded and self released their debut EP "Transmission" in Spring
2006 and followed up with a full length album put out on Three Ring
Records in Spring 2007.In 2007 Music For Animals self-titled release got heavy rotation on
over 200 college stations and charted in the top 200 on CMJ. The band
has also been featured on multiple podcasts including indiefeed.com
and in the San Francisco Chronicle's Bay Area Bandwidth.*Bands you may know, that we have shared beer-laden stages with:

"Music for Animals have prepared a carnivore's feast in the form of a
self-titled beast that's easy to swallow." - perfectporridge.com
"SF's most fun alterna-rock-dance-pop band" – Zero Magazine
"poppy in that it makes you want to dance around, be flirty, but not
cute or obnoxious. They write songs with easy appeal and avoid
mainstream patterns or cheap love lyrics" - Owl Magazine
