FH #009: 2006 [CD]
Mike Pride's FROM BACTERIA TO BOYS- hang
Darius Jones- alto sax
Evan Lipson- bass
Mike Pride- drums, voice, compositions
A radical trio of musicians appraoching Mike Pride's newest compositional appraoch based on cellular movement, snowballing momentum and the most focused and concrete of improvisations. 3 compositions based on traumatic life experiences & social critiques, whose material is based on rythmic displacement, textural formatting & in your face noise/thrash/chanting musics- in that order. This is the beginning of Pride's "Statement Musics".

FH #008/FNA Show Releases: 2006 [CD]
PERIOD
Charlie Looker (Zs, Extra Life)- guitar
Mike Pride- drums
One 26 minute piece of music that could only be a product of Pride & Looker's intense and unwavering aproach to composition and improvisation which has been coalescing since the turn of the century- where the sonic qualities of the most simple statements mutate and grow in complexity over vast periods of time. This hard, loud, focused and violent with never a searching moment. Beautifully recorded with a raw intesity to match this singular music. Guitar and drums music for the next generation.
"Is this some sort of instrumental art-rock with progressive inclinations?...Each note or phrase counts. Charlie plays sharp angular chords as Mike punctuates each of the guitar phases ever so tightly. A slow motion version of the Minutemen without Mike Watt, perhaps?!?" - Downtown Music Gallery

OTHER GREAT THINGS FROM OTHER GREAT LABELS:
MARCOS FERNANDES/MIKE PRIDE- a mountain is a mammal (Accretions) 2006 [CD]
Marcos Fernandes - percussion, phonography
Mike Pride - drums, percussion, glockenspiel, electronics, voice
"a mountain is a mammal is about human beings. Science and technology surely had a hand in its evolution but in the end, it's about people. Two people, in fact, and happenstance. Marcos Fernandes (California) and Mike Pride (New York) are two drummers. They met one rainy night in Tokyo while on their respective tours in the Spring of 2005. Collaborations ensued and the two recorded duets one sunny afternoon in New York City. The results showed that there was chemistry. And the proof is in this pressing - a collection of dialogues between two people who passed in the night and met again, days upon days later." - Accretions.com
3 pieces ranging from minimalism, to maximalism, to drumisms to harsh electronic noise.
($12)

Features 2 pieces of his artwork in the design.

DEALBREAKER- James Ilgenfritz/Aaron Ali Shaikh/Mike Pride (Utech Records) 2006 [CD]
