About Me

Vocalist/lyricist/percussionist Cris Lockridge started out his career with a microphone and a Rogers drum kit at the age of twelve. He was a founding member of local bands The Forest and Not For Sale, and has performed at a variety of venues across southwestern Missouri. Cris enjoys playing live whenever possible, but has recorded several in-studio demo projects over the years. His long-awaited first "official" release was repeatedly delayed by circumstances beyond reasonable control. However, Cris is confident that 2008 will be "the year," and is dead-set on greatly exceeding all expections.
Note: the songs displayed on this page are merely unpolished samples from Cris' portfolio - they are works-in-progress, and are slated to be rerecorded for the debut album. These rare versions of Cris' best-known songs have been provided to give you a general idea of the tone and theme of his music.
"Not For Sale, captained by the talented Cris Lockridge, is an up-and-coming Midwest rock band with a lot of potential..." - local review, circa late-2004
Cris on his newest material:
Heck, I like it, and I have never liked any of the music that I am a part of.
On the recording process:
Has anyone seen Dustin around anywhere? 'Cause I am gettin' worried.
On fan interaction:
The band name 'You Guys Suck' has already been voted down.
On life in general:
If you get too caught up on specifics, you WILL miss the point.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/29/2007
Band Website: crislockridge.angelfire.com
Band Members: Born in 1983, singer-songwriter Cris Lockridge weaves haunting lyrics with powerful melodies to create a unique style and a hybrid sound that some have termed "Midwestern Goth-Rock."

At an early stage in his career, Cris was a founding member of local alt-rock band The Forest; he later went on to form the now-defunct Not For Sale (sometimes known as Not 4 Sale).

Onstage and off, he favors Crate speakers, Apex and Shure mics, Rogers drums, Maxx sticks, Adam and Paste cymbals and Remo heads to get his points across.

The Cris Lockridge Band is currently auditioning new members. Among the potential candidates is "Percussion" Dustin Day, formerly of the bands Some Assembly Required and, at one point in time, Not For Sale.
Record Label: Unsigned
Type of Label: None
