New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ XO Publicity) - The Memorials, featuring former The Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen, are racing towards a November 23rd release date for their debut SELF-TITLED album, and will play a few shows close to home to get ready. First, The New Parish in Oakland on Friday, September 24th and Harlow's in Sacramento the following night. The band recently made 3 FULL TRACKS available via stream on their ReverbNation Page, giving a glimpse of what's to come on their first full length record. The band's energy as a live act is evident on the recordings, as Thomas Pridgen propels his band mates towards what appears will be a meaningful contribution to the current sonic landscape. The Memorials are of course led by their founder, drummer Thomas Pridgen, who is well-known for his meteoric rise to the forefront of drum-culture as a bombastic and kinetic force behind the kit. In late 2009, he departed from his post as drummer for The Mars Volta, and quickly put together a stellar cast of musicians, rounded out by vocalist Viveca Hawkins and guitarist Nick Brewer, as well as guitarist Brad Ackley, bassist Uriah Duffy, and keyboard player Randy Emata. The band has played a slew of shows throughout California and are powering towards the release of an album the band can't wait to unleash.
