About Me


Originating geographically and stylistically from different time zones and different mindsets, San Francisco Bay Area-based STICKFIGURE ENCORE was born out of a desire to paint a different but strikingly familiar musical picture. Driven by the simplest idea that "less is more", the group was formed with great care and vision to ensure that the different instrumental parts attached themselves perfectly to the framework of their collective sonic machine.
Ask them what they think makes a good song and in return you might get several answers: rhythm, bass, melody, distortion, precise reverb, exquisite silence. But on another night, you can get an entirely different set of responses: cold beer, hot pizza, water, sex, blood, tears, flapjacks, warm nights, regret, duct tape...you get the idea. But they will tell you that all of the answers are correct and hold the same brevity in a song.
Because everything is important. Everything is connected, disconnected, touching, disappearing, fading into darkness, thundering into light, liquefying, hardening, turning into dust, into life, into dust again, and so on.
Like every single song written.
For them, without the song...nothing really matters. Nothing.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/30/2007
Band Website: stickfigureencore.com
Band Members: Jesse Del Rio - Drums; Moses Domingo - Keyboards; Ryan Walsh - Guitars; Chris Strebel - Bass; Manuel Velez - Voice
Influences: Circa Survive, Mute Math, Dredg, Death From Above, Faith No More. Anything that catches our ears and meets our hands.
Sounds Like: What ever form, shape, emotion the music comes out as. We are devices for the melodies that spring forth from the collective subconscious; like a sculptor who forms from the rawness of clay into the tangible shapes we see and touch, we pull from the influences that draw us in and give it back to the masses to take newer form and flight.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
