19 A.D.D. is a instrumental progressive metal band from Denver Colorado that combines complex compositional structures & time signatures with harsh and ambient soundscapes. The band is known for their explosive, high-energy live performances at times featuring visual themed video projections and costumes. The members of 19 A.D.D. originally intended and auditioned several vocalists and multi-instrumentalists to join the group. However, the band was unsuccessful at finding the perfect match and decided to remain instrumental, writing music that is busy enough to stand alone instrumentally.

Originally forming in 2006 under the name Black Helicopters, the band began to perform around the Denver area as a trio mixing visual projections and free-form noise. Over time, the band took a more focused approach and spent 3 years writing and recording their debut release "Dead River" which was released August 25th 2009 on the bands own label, Level 36 Recordings. Dead River was recorded in several environments including a 2" tape reel at one studio and a state of the art digital setup at another. The band is currently working on material for a second release and putting together a music video.

19 A.D.D. is:
Eric Pereira: Drums, Synth
Jared Emery: Guitar, Saxophone, Synth
Matt Blanks: Bass, Synth

Thanks to everyone who came out for the Pink Floyd tribute in Arvada, CO! We had a great time and it was fun to play some songs that we all grew up on. You can download a recording of our 20-minute medley here. Thanks to the Denver Art Rock Collective for putting it all together.

Check the reviews section for some newly added reviews of Dead River! We will keep adding them as they roll in. Progress on the new material is coming along nicely. Hoping to start recording after summer's show season. Don't forget the Cassleman's gig on April 10th at the brand new venue in Denver known as Casslemans! It's a huge room, and we have special visuals planned, as well as a highly experimental set. You'd be silly to miss this show! Plus, it's Yerkish's DVEP release party! The Abe Lincoln costumes at the last 3 Kings show were a hit! Look for more of these costume shenanighans!

New shirts and stickers are available! Your support at our online store helps us greatly! All proceeds go directly to the band and usually go right back into more merch! Word to grandma.
