Name- Citizen Rising
Age- mid-twenties
Occupation- band. angry alternative, sad hard rock, experimental metal, electronic arena rock, noise with melody. honestly, i have no idea how to describe our music. i wish i could but im just not that bright. feel free to describe the sound as you deem fit. oh, and if you come up with something good, let us know.
Hobbies- playing shows in and around the L.A., Ventura, and Santa Barbara area. everywhere from typical Hollywood haunts, whiskey, troubadour, viper room, knitting factory to bordners, the joint, the canyon club, and nicholby's. we are also known to frequent bars and play chess.
Hometown- a small, provincial town sheltered by dark hills. lots of dark hills. if you descend thru the canyon, you'll arrive at the Pacific Ocean, only an espresso shot from Malibu. if you go the other way, and mentally survive the traffic, your half an hour from the controlled conformity of Hollywood. if you end up in our hometown you're probaly either lost, stoppng to get gas, selling speed, or in a band.
Status- single, or more specifically, independent. looking for that special someone to have a meaningful, lasting, and mutually beneficial relationship with. respect, curiosity and a modicum of trust is a must. we will be in it for the love and you can be in it for the money. or vice-versa, that's o.k. too. either way, there's no need for monogamy, but rather a personal commitment and a genuine passion for and fervent dedication to this beautiful mess we are creating.
Sign- stop. and listen.
Education- high school, sort of. higher education in other bands since 1999. one indie album on a local label, different managers, and lots of hands on , feet first experience.
Religion- definitely not organized. get back to you on that one
Interests- poetry. hear the words, read the lyrics. think. read the lyrics again, maybe this time with a strong drink
Political affiliation- oh hell yeah
Smoke/Drink- another emphatic oh hell yeah
Other Vices- a tendency to put all our cracked eggs in one basket. blind obedience to an emotional sound and a willingness to risk not only our lives, but our dreams in the pursuit of making a living actually living, or at least a career doing what we love.
Business Aspirations- well, it should be obvious, but here we go. longevity in the MUZAK business. if we were interested in just making money, we would have gone to college. selling merch, touring, and recording our album is what we are currently engaged in. looking for help with all the above, as well as street team assistance, radio support, distribution, and a meal that isn't bought on the "99 cents menu" at your local fast food crematorioum.
Contact- us. if your reading this, you already have so the next step would be to send us a message. we promise to respond and words can't possibly articulate how grateful we are for any comments. at the moment, we are doing this all on our own, all alone, and the more "friends" we have, the less alone we feel. so with that...thanks for listening...
