We've been writing and demoing songs for a new full length we'll be calling "It's Fashionable." Jonny wrote/recorded 20 songs with Neil Young producing for MTVs Ridiculousness. Needless to say, we've been really busy and having loads of fun!

We're back in Cup O' Pizza Studios with Neil Young producing and we've already laid down two new songs. We're recording the whole record live and will only overdub vocals and lead guitar. No more sea of layers, fuck that shit, lets do it raw. Mics in the room and GO! On the day that Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead passed away, we got together, played some Motorhead songs, drank some Jack Daniels and ended up writing a tribute AND tracking it that very night. Boy, that was a lot of fun.

On Saturday February 27th, Turbojugend San Francisco is hosting their 15th anniversary party at Thee Parkside in SF. It will definitely be a night of debauchery. It wouldn't be a TJ party without some loud rock and roll, so they've put together one hell of a lineup with headliners THE DWARVES! Opening bands include Party Force, Jonny Manak and The Depressives, Monolith and Flexx Bronco!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBSBwfB6f91dImw7mcF9csXl75JWgcE1CYLEBGIbu74jlAypIDU9ldh5eVE9eQDlfrZTBlof2uGUHvFPcz7wOwYSrKKrPkXuHDZVu8Qs4UwSeNKAqhZFkVcM70m2odtiCcR1eZ1h-a-A/s1600/12512700_10153409691919226_740553608229327963_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBSBwfB6f91dImw7mcF9csXl75JWgcE1CYLEBGIbu74jlAypIDU9ldh5eVE9eQDlfrZTBlof2uGUHvFPcz7wOwYSrKKrPkXuHDZVu8Qs4UwSeNKAqhZFkVcM70m2odtiCcR1eZ1h-a-A/s640/12512700_10153409691919226_740553608229327963_n.jpg" /></a></div>

<a href="http://www.slugmag.com/national-music-reviews/jonny-manak-the-depressives-cold-pizza-warm-beer/">SLUG MAGAZINE </a> - "Cold Pizza & Warm Beer is punk rock at its finest—it hits that sweet spot where one can hear pre-punk influences, and influences outside of punk, but it’s still gritty, grimy and from the gutter."<BR><BR>
<a href="http://juicemagazine.com/home/jonny-manak-the-depressives-cold-pizza-and-warm-beer/">JUICE MAGAZINE</a> - "Punk, garage, surf, it’s all there!" <BR><BR>
<a href="http://varla.com/jonny-manak-and-the-depressives/">VARLA MAGAZINE</a> - "Overall, it’s impossible to listen to this record and not tap your foot with a smile on your face." <BR><BR>
<a href="http://rockandrolljunkie.com/cold-pizza-and-warm-beer-by-jonny-manak-the-depressives/">ROCKANDROLLJUNKIE.COM</a>- "Enjoy these gems, they don’t come around that often." <BR><BR>

Jonny Manak and The Depressiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605786623777850511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287472278762612042.post-80194603476438623622015-02-27T08:01:00.001-08:002015-02-27T08:29:19.181-08:00New Year, New Album, New Lineup!
Well, it's been about a year since I've updated this for a lot of reasons and I'll fill you in on why.
My Dad passed away last March from a long battle with cancer. I did a lot of soul searching and just didn't feel like doing anything but writing and recording music by myself with Neil Young producing, I went into hiding of sorts. In the last year, I've written/recorded 35 songs for MTV's Ridiculousness/Fantasy Factory to be used as background music. I used all live instruments and played them all. It was perfect timing to have such a large amount of songs to keep my mind off losing my Dad. I put The Depressives on ice after letting our bass player go and just took time off of performing. I just focused on my ghost writing work. Once I wrapped up those songs, I got back to work on The Depressives new record titled "Cold Pizza and Warm Beer." Chipping away at writing and tracking a few hours at a time when Neil, Thor and I could get into our studio until we completed tracking enough for a record. In the end we settled on the best 17 songs to use. We'll be sending the record off to Mike Wells Mastering in a few weeks and it will be pressed on vinyl LP via Self Destructo/Reach Around Records in early summer.

<b>New-ish music video!</b>
We made this music video a year ago, but I never posted it on here. See above... I just didn't feel like doing anything but locking myself in my recording studio to ghost write to keep my mind of pops, bla bla bla. Anyhow, here's a video for Choose My Fate which was on the Seven Inches split 7" with The Hip Priests (released on Self Destructo/Reach Around Records.) It's also on our new LP we're about to release.

<b>Santa Stole My Whiskey Music Video!</b>
Neil and I also made a music video for a solo Christmas song I recorded called "Santa Stole My Whiskey." Neil plays Santa, I'm playing everything else. Our friend Alan shot the thing and here it is in February, haha.

<b>
We've added a new member!</b> Super producer Neil Young has joined The Depressives. Neil brings a lot of experience to the table and can outplay me on bass, so it was an easy decision. He's been our exclusive producer for 3 years, we've done around 75 songs for Dickhouse Productions together and two Depressives records, so it was a natural progression. We always considered him, "the 4th Depressive" anyhow, now he's a solid "3rd Depressive." Welcome Neil!
<b>
Wah-BAM used on Fantasy Factory!</b>
Although they commission me to write songs for their shows, they occasionally slip in my released tracks.
Here's a screen grab from when they played Wah-BAM off our last LP from 2013 Primitive Sounds for a Modern World.

"MOONAGE ODDITY" - Two Bowie Covers from 2007 are NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE!We recorded a pair of David Bowie covers (Space Oddity and Moonage Daydream) for 2007's "1.21 Jiggawatts" but never used them. The idea was simple, one cover for the LP, one cover for the CD. Life happened and that record never came out physically, only digitally. At that time, we decided to put these covers aside until the physical release. It's been 6 years, fuck it, lets share these tracks with the world. So here you go, I present to you a digital single called "Moonage Oddity." You can stream them for free on <a href="http://open.spotify.com/album/79AQvaPbj0qcYIhOqCoU9O" target="_blank">spotify here</a>. If you're super neat-o and want to help us make MORE music, you can BUY these two tracks on itunes by clicking the album artwork. This ripping artwork was drawn by the ever so infamous <a href="http://instagram.com/munguni#" target="_blank">Munguni!</a><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">SONG WRITER FOR HIRE:</span></h2>
Lets start from where we last left off. I've been writing and recording a lot of music for TV shows for Dickhouse Productions and Viacom. Viacom had me write and record 15 punk/garage/surf instrumentals for them to use on all their shows and networks. In 4 days, I wrote, recorded and mixed them all in my home studio playing one instrument at a time. The songs have already appeared in re-runs of JACKASS and RIDICULOUSNESS. We were a featured band on one of the episodes and was featured on MTV.com. <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/jonny-manak-and-the-depressives/" target="_blank">Here's our profile link</a><br />

</h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">WE GOT SIGNED!</span></h2>
Yes, we have signed a VINYL ONLY deal to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SelfDestructoRecords" target="_blank">SELF DESTRUCTO RECORDS</a> (run by the Turbojugend) and have been so stoked working with them. This is in direct partnership with my label REACH AROUND. So it's a 50/50 vinyl release. Check out <a href="http://www.shopturbojugend.com/">www.shopturbojugend.com</a> and support their cause, buy some merch and stuff from all of the bands they work with, they're all great!<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
WE GOT A NEW ALBUM!</span></h2>
"Primitive Sounds for a Modern World" is DONE! Mixed, mastered and sent off to the vinyl pressing plant. Recorded and mixed by Muller and Neil Young. Side A was recorded at Cup O' Pizza as a two piece (we didn't have a drummer yet, so I played drums/guitar/vox, Bobby played bass.) Side B has all three of us playing live on the Record Roundup with Oscar Hox on <a href="http://www.kfjc.org/" target="_blank">89.7fm KFJC</a> with Thor DSR on Drums. He kills it and it shows on the B side. We're stoked to have a live B side. You can stream it NOW on <a href="http://open.spotify.com/album/4r4I7wZzIxT8AgkRtLHbfT" target="_blank">Spotify</a> as well as purchase it on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/primitive-sounds-for-modern/id623430716" target="_blank">iTunes</a>. If you're patient, you can get it on vinyl in a month or so and it includes a digital download.<br />

</h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
WE'RE RECORDING AGAIN! ALREADY!</span></h2>
Yes, you read that right. Ahhh, the benefits of Neil Young living a block away and me having a personal studio on site. This time we're recording two new songs for a split 7" with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SelfDestructoRecords" target="_blank">SELF DESTRUCTO</a> UK label mates, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thehippriests" target="_blank">THE HIP PRIESTS</a>. So far we've tracked all the drums and bass tracks, tomorrow we track guitars, next week vocals, next next week mix. We're thinking about releasing a few songs every two months and at the end of the year, compile all the singles onto an LP. NEAT RIGHT?!? Right... We're also recording a track for a tribute comp for one of our favorite bands! I'm sure you can guess, but I'm not allowed to say anything yet. It's coming out RAD!Jonny Manak and The Depressiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605786623777850511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287472278762612042.post-17589635376742598582013-01-08T12:37:00.000-08:002013-01-09T08:31:23.605-08:00Two new releases for your listening pleasure!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Aaaaaaaand, I have a new solo EP out written for Dickhouse Productions. They asked me to write and record some songs for their TV shows and films again. These songs will be heard in re-runs of JACKASS and season 3 of RIDICULOUSNESS on MTV. I recorded these songs (playing drums, bass, guitar, vocals) over a week or two in December at my private studio "Cup O' Pizza" with Neil Young handling the recording/mixing/production end, mastered by Mike Wells Mastering, artwork by Grady Hord. You can stream the songs for free on Spotify <a href="http://open.spotify.com/album/4EC8PDBb75vxLBDMraj6Um" target="_blank">HERE</a> or buy them on iTunes <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/songs-for-uranus-2-ep/id591052325" target="_blank">HERE </a><br />

We've been awarded BEST PUNK BAND at the 2012 Silicon Valley Music Awards! Pretty neat! Thanks to Kid Kris, Steve, Shitbird, Jake, Craig, Bobby and Andy for helping make this happen. We've been at it for 7 years and it's nice to be recognized for all the hard work we've been putting in. Thank you everyone who voted for us!

song <i>YOU BRING ME DOWN</i> off of our last album, <i>I am not a bum... I'm a JERK!</i> is featured in it!!! Wah-BAM!!! Spread the word!

I've found a ripping bass player Bobby Wilcox who just moved here from Ventura and we're already recording tracks for a new EP (maybe even a full length) called "Wah-BAM!" Fun fact: Bobby was D.D. Ramone's guitar player on one of his last tours before he passed. Neat! He's also played with Flogging Molly, The Street Walkin' Cheetah's and The Motels. We've posted some cassette 4 track demos of the new songs on our <a href="http://soundcloud.com/jonny-manak" target="_blank">soundcloud</a> page. All we need is a drummer and we can play shows again!<br />

It's a boy! Jonny Danger Manak was born 8 pounds 10 ounces Friday May 11th 2012 so this transition of band members couldn't have been timed better. I'm taking time to be with my beautiful wife Mandy, my little princess Zoey and little JD.</div>

I completed my recording studio. Yeah, I got a fully functional protools recording studio now called CUP O' PIZZA so I can be a more efficient ghost writer, recording artist and family man. CUP O' PIZZA has a live room, mixing room and two iso booths! WOOHOO!!!</div>

I went into the COMPOUND Studios and remixed our latest full length "I am not a bum... I'm a JERK!" for vinyl removing the organ tracks because it took away from the rawness of the songs and overpowered the entire mix. Jimmy Arceneaux revamped the album art and Mike Wells did some analog mastering techniques to fatten it up. I'll be rereleasing it digitally and on black 12 inch vinyl once the band starts playing out again. Most likely this fall.</div>

That's basically what's been going on the last 6 months. Life has never been so busy, scary, uncertain and fun. I love playing music, I love my family and I love writing music for TV/Film. Life gets better every day! Wah-BAM!</div>
