  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. The Malone was formed in 2005. Each member of The Malone comes from various backgrounds covering a wide range of music. Not locking ourselves to any specific type of music, we tend to play whatever the hell we feel like. From Latin based music, Blues, Rock, all the way to the Heaviest of Metal, we play whatever is fun at the time. We try not to be too serious and keep everything entertaining. We just recently finished recording our first demo. We chose a variety of songs that show our extreme diversity. Each song completely different from the other sonically, tonally, and rhythmically. Produced by School of Velocity. We are very excited about the near future. .. .. .. .. ..From the Times Standard.. .. .. http://www.times-standard.com/entertainment/ci_12154562 .... ..When The Malone's drummer, Ken Liebenberg, first moved to Ferndale, he made himself known by asking everyone who looked like they might be a musician if they were a musician. So desperate was he to find a band to play in, he finally found James Adams, who sings and plays guitar, working at the hardware store in town and they started jamming together. .... Josh “Scooter” Barry was “the kid at the grocery store” who was tracked down by a friend of the band's who held regular music jams up at his house on the Wildcat Ridge. The chemistry between the three was immediately noticeable and they started practicing four hours a night, three nights a week. .... The Malone is readying to release its debut album, called “Dart in the Neck,” which was recorded in three very intense 20-hour days between Adams' house and Liebenberg's garage, where the band practices. .... One thing the band feels like sets them apart from a lot of other bands is that they “play everything,” according to Adams. “We're not a rock group, a metal group or a blues group. We love playing all kinds of music and that is our thing, our diversity.” .... The diversity is what Liebenberg feels has kept them together for the last few years. He says switching up styles keeps things fun. They pull influences from Tool to Joe Satriani and the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Steve Vai. .... The Malone practices are structured like a jam session, and that's where most of the band's songs are born. .... ”Either Scooter will hit a bass lick, Ken a drum beat or me a guitar lick and we'll just play with that and over time it'll evolve into a structured song,” says Adams. “And most of the lyrics come out of adlib. Just the instrumentation kind of gets monotonous, so I'll just start adlibbing and if I say something cool, we'll remember it. .... ”All but two of our songs on our album were composed that way,” he adds. .... -Monica Topping for the Times Standard..
