About Me

Dignen is based in Portland, OR and was formed in late 1997. The music is currently composed by four individuals Tim Roth, Ashley Carson, Ritchie Young, and Brian Gumpert.The band was orginally a 5 piece which relased a 7 inch record, and toured the United States. In 2001 the band reconfigured as a 3 piece including; guitar, keyboard and drums. Since this time the band has been building a studio and working on a third album.Dignen manages to evoke the minds' closet skeletons, with each poetic word. This band reaches beyond stereotypical boarders of pop music, thus grabbing hold of a musical style that is defined by nothing more than people making music.
