About Me


**** UPDATE (8/16): Craig is filling in on guitar for metal band, DEADBREED and Melissa is recording back-up vocals on a song for IMAGIKA'S upcomming album, due out the end of this year. Jerry is still banging away on bass with POP MURDER and HAVE YOU HEARD. All of these bands are below in our friend space, so click on their links to find out more! ****-tion is a modernized blend of classic rock with new metal and hard rock. Influenced by the classics, and motivated by the modern, they have been compared to the likes of Alice In Chains meets Black Sabbath meets Soundgarden, but with the vocal likes of Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane) or Maria Sjoholm (Drain Sth). They like to call their sound "sludge rock" because of the hard and pounding drums of CJ Levy (Red Kor/Dark Garden), and gruelingly sludgy riffs by guitarist Craig Lemoge (Bearing/Security) and bassist Jerry Langhorst. The whole hard-rock sundae is cherry-topped with the seductive yet dark vocals by new-comer Melissa Evett.You can now get their completed 3-song demo entitled "What's Your" (Trident Studios in Pacheco). Look for -tion on CDbaby.com to buy a copy, download it here, or come to a show and get one for free! They've been disappearing like crazy and -tion has had amazing feedback from friends and fans alike. A HUGE thank you to Juan at Trident Studios and to our friends and fans for their amazing support!! YOU guys are the ones that ROCK!

Influences: Anything & Everything:We love life and the ironies that go along with it. Psychology, beer, burritos, BBQ's, great music, great friends, great times. We are inspired by anything from Beethovan to Machinehead and Jager shots to red wine. We do what we do for anyone who loves it as much as we do, and our biggest goal is to make music that people can enjoy and relate to. We love playing gigs with our friends, and then partying afterwards. We love watching heads bob in the audience and seeing the smiles on our friends and families faces! Here's to the love of Rock!
Sounds Like: If you can figure that out, you win a prize, but the most common thing we've been able to get from our fans is "a cross of Alice in Chains, with old Soundgarden, and Black Sabbath meets the vocals of Joss Stone crossed with Grace Slick... but like, not really." Come check us out and decide for yourself.
