Biography

19ADD is a Instrumental Progressive Metal Trio from Denver Colorado that combines complex compositional structure & time signatures with ambient soundscapes and intricate instrumental playing. The band is known for their explosive, high-energy live performances and visual projections. Orginally forming as a free-form noise rock trio, the group eventually began incorporating more styles of music into their sound including Jazz, Electronic, Industrial, Experimental Rock & Progressive Metal.

In 2008, the band released their debut effort "Dead River" which reached international critical acclaim drawing attention from publications, radio stations, record labels & websites around the globe.

In 2011, the second full length release "GAIA" was released on the bands own label, Level 36 Recordings and supported with a tour of the West Coast and Southwest regions of the United States.

First of all, we want to make the sad announcment that our long time guitarist Jared Emery has left the band. The good thing is, we are all still good friends - and we left the option for him to return if ever so desired! At this time 19ADD is taking a short break to get our ducks in a row but we promise it's not over. We are taking this opportunity to recruit additional personnel in an effort to broaden our sound even more. We are open to all types of musicians and instrumentalists. Feel free to contact us anytime if you feel you can add something to our already chaotic mix!

Thanks to everyone for picking up the new CD, GAIA. It's been great to read people's reviews of the record, and so far we haven't seen a bad one! Physical copies can be ordered right here on the website using paypal. If you'd like a digital version, why not head over to our BandCamp page and listen to the entire thing for free? We are letting people name their own price for downloads there too, so there ya go!

Ok, now that the whoring for the new record is out of the way, we want to say THANKS!!!!! to everyone who came out to see us play on the recent west coast tour! Everyone in Denver, Boise, Portland, Seattle, Oakland, Richmond, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas! Too many new (and old) friends to list, but you know who you are! Special thanks to Before The Eyewall for booking a majority of the dates and taking us along for a leg of their tour. It was an honor to share the stage with you guys every night. Thanks also to the other bands we played with on this tour - The Skivies, Silence Index, Guardians, Bereft, Rituals, Connoisseur, Bruxers, Your Enemy, Don Peyote, Balsa, Cascabel, Destroyed in Seconds, Sheep on a Cliff, Unfair Fight!

While playing in LA, we were offered a spot on a split 7" with another great instrumental metal band, Hurt Model. We gladly accepted the offer from Ear/Splitters, and promptly hit Seahorse Sound to record a brand new track! We hear this will be released sometime in 2012.

While playing in Portland, we were invited to participate in a cool interview at an organic farm on the outskirts of town. Wealth Underground Farm has started a program called Farm To Artist that conducts interview sessions on their farm with touring bands while feeding them home-cooked, home-grown organic meals. We were really happy to be the first band(s) to participate. The audio interview will be posted online as a podcast soon, but for now you can see some photos and a brief write up on our visit at the Farm To Artist blog by visiting http://farmtoartist.blogspot.com/.

Overall, the tour was a great success! Special thanks to the following promoters, venues and organizers for helping things go smoothly! Jeff and Sara at 3 Kings, Everyone @ The Shredder in Boise, Adam and The Funhouse in Seattle, The Know & the entire PDX crew, Dan @ Kill That Cat, Ryan & Ear/Splitters, Seahorse Sound, The Handbag Factory, Yayo Taco, Chris @ Wealth Underground Farm & Farm To Artist, and of course, Rhonda!

Whoever said you can't get anything for free is full of poop! we've put together some cool desktop wallpapers featuring Phil Wong's GAIA album artwork! Click here to download them FREE! These wallpapers will look great on your PC, Mac, Smart Phone, Tablet...you name it!
