009hey guys!

Tyler here coming to you from our practice studio (aka my dads office) We are heavy into the writing process right now. When we write new songs, they starts off as a bass line, guitar riff… or even just an idea for a title……. something. we kinda sit there staring at each other while we dabble on said idea… we have some songs that come together in 1 day or even one practice, like Wipe your tears came together over the course of one day. We also have songs that have taken 6 months to finish. RIGHT noW… we have 7 or 8 HOTT new ideas that are in the mixer. I can’t wat for the finished product! wI don’t know when that will be,,, but it will be good… i promise ;)

Can’t Fake the Funk!

Check out this video!! This is the 1st song written when Method Echo started. Its ran it course of 2 or 3 different styles and versions, but one thing is for sure whe can’t Fake the Funk! No matter what we do, where we go, what they call us.. We have to move and funkify. This was us live at Cesar Chavez Park, some 2,000 people we’re watching us for the 1st time. Hope we made a good impression Sacramento. Much Love,

Josh, Chris, Daniel, Dave and Tyler

Are we Human or are we Dancers?

We actually asked ourselves this question while preforming this past Friday Night at Cesar Chavez Park Sacramento, CA.  We had some front row people at that had no problem expressing themselves while we preformed, and it kept everything inside of us not to laugh.. but inspired us at the same time to let people know that there is dancer inside us all. Out of some 2,000 people at the Park, watch the video and you will see our new fans moving to rhythm of M.E.  Thank you to ALL the Fans and Friends who came out!  Much Love to You All!!   Josh, Chris, Tyler, Daniel, and Dave

“Keep On” in 2009!

I guess you could say might be the title of a new song that has been developing on monday night rehearsal’s. Have you ever had an idea, and it just didn’t quite communicate well? Usually that happens with a pocket full of progressions, phrases, and songs we try to develop week to week. Sometimes you have to catch up to your ideas. So KEEP ON!! One of the lines in this song is “Its Been the Battle of 2009″. We’ve seen a lot, been through a lot.. At the end of the day if its what you love, if its what you were made for, YOU have to Keep On.

We started fooling with this song about year ago, most of the band kinda flapped they’re lips in a snicker when it first was brought to the table. We just didn’t know what to do with it, that’s why it seemed strange and a little awkward. Now it’s a different story we’ve come back to it, and it’s like striking Gold. That’s the reality of growth, you always have to come back to that first instinct and watch it get bigger than you thought.

We’ve never written a song about us, the band the relationships, the struggle, the battle, the victories. I think this will speak a lot about how we keep going, why we keep going, plus most importantly, it will make you dance!! If it doesn’t we’ll throw in the towel :) Check out the myspace, facebook, and twitter, lets keep in touch!

Much love, Josh

We Battled, We Danced, We Won!

Hard Rock Cafe, Battle of the Bands Finals  Ever since the this band started over 2 years ago, we have entered into basically any contest we possibly could enter.   In some ways we HATE the thought of competitions!! Its like the Super Bowl  to some bands.. behind stage muggin people, breathing hard, clinched fist.  I wanted to ask, has anyone seen Willam Wallace around here!!???  You’ll never take our freedom!! ha..ha

   We use to have a streak of 2nd place in battle of band like competitions, loosing points in categorize like..crowd interaction/participation involvement.  Not this time.  Hard Rock Cafe was a holding a battle of the bands nation wide, to choose the top performances for a chance to go to London.  Well…we never went  to London,bummer.. but we did make a statement in our home town of Sacramento.  Competing against some amazing bands, and 3 rounds later, we were announced as the winners for Northern Cal.  

  Watch the video..there’s a little screaming from Megan Cresci, one of our most loyal fans..We love you Megan!  She took this footage when were announced by Keith Brooks of 100.5 The Zone. Thank you to our  fans, friends, and family for supporting this night.

Michael Jackson

 

 Michael JacksonMJ is a name that will always be in everyones heart. His music will be in everyones lives. Michael has influenced me with his talent of music. Even though I’ve never met him I feel like he touched my heart in many ways. He made the impossible possible. He is defenitley one person I would meet If I had a chance. That’s too bad that MJ had to go to make people realize how much he had an impact on our lives. I think I can speak for all people, he had inspired every musician! His musical talent and gifts off stage made everyone realize that he really was a good person. Out of all things I heared and noticed about MJ, he has never complained about anything! I wish all the Jackson family a good life and full blessings upon them!
 
GOD BLESS

Where do I start? My journey with MJ started when i saw the movie “Free Willy” way back in the day. He had a song on the soundtrack. I remember renting it and seeing the music video after the credits. I remember thinking how good his voice was… but i didnt understand the glove.. ha! I was more of a rocker in my teens, but MJ was the king and i couldn’t deny it. The moment that i became a true fan was when i heard PYT for the 1st time. the guitar riffs in that song are sooo funky!! i couldn’t help it! love was born that day. I can truly say that MJs music has inluenced everything about my musical thought process. All controversy aside… he is the king of pop music, the father of a genere. he will be missed forever. 

Tyler. 

  I regret that I never got a chance to see MJ perform, well I was a little to young when MJ was in his prime..But.. In the 3rd grade my class had movie friday’s, my teacher had bought the recent video of “Beat It”, and played it for the class.  MJ’s moves, voice, and style made me think that this guy was super human.  At such a young age I was entertained by this Pop god.  My dad was a huge Jackson 5 fan, and would play songs like ABC, and Rockin Robin through out the house growin up.  No doubt Michael Jackson has been a major influence, not just in how I do music, but how I think about music.  Michael took risks and I think every musician, vocalist, or entertainer has learned something that has brought an impact into they’re soul of music.  Michael is dead but his music lives on.

The Backyard

Whats up ya’ll! I’m finding myself laying by the pool more, drinking tea, and making more visits to the frozen yogurt shop because of the heat.  It is officially summer and I’m singing that famous Will Smith song in my head constantly..”summa summa time”.

I went fishing for the 1st time since I was 12 with our drummer Dave, and keyboardists Daniel, those guys are fish lovers!!! When you go fishing at night, take a flashlight, it helps!  

 If you live anywhere near Sacramento you will see that many of our shows are in our own Backyard.  We are slowly but surely making a bigger name for ourselves and want to ride on this momentum of gaining fans in Sac.  We want Sacramento to know that we are here to make some noise and we got something to talk about. We really want the support of Northern Cal as our band seeks out your attention.  We are very excited to play and meet you this summer, if you get a chance come check us out at these shows I promise you’ll want to dance and come see us again!   I’ll list what we have so far, again we’d love to see you at a show!! Peace and Love.. drink lots of water..  Josh

10 Things you don’t know about the Keyboardist

Wanna know some facts about Method Echo’s talented Keyboardist’s?? There is much more behind the man who rock’s those insane sounds behind the multiple layers of keyboards you see, The guy who co-wrote the new Single “Skyscraper”, the man who once got left at the beach on tour in L.A., the man we call sexy-mexi. Here’s 10 people

10. I met Magic Johnson (my favorite all time basketball player) when I was a baby in the grocery store. (Got a picture to prove it!)
9. I was born at an US Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
8. Favorite place to eat is Chipotle! Chicken burrito, cheese, lime cilantro flavored rice, black beans and extra HOT sauce. It doesn’t get much better than that!
7. I’m a diehard baseball & basketball fan when it comes to LA teams: ANGELS & LAKERS!
6. I currently work with preschoolers with autism at an elementary school & I work with jr. high students at my church…I absolutely love it! It keeps me on my toes!
5. Love to go fishing early in the morning, during the day, late at night…pretty much at any time of the day I’m game!
4. I have two daughters (Chihuahua Terriers) who love to lick my feet…Daisy & Chloe! For some reason my feet smell & taste really good to them!
3. Some time in the near future I want to go skydiving! I love roller coasters & big rides. The more extreme, the more fun it is!
2. If it were up to me, I would dress up everyday because I love it so much. Tie, slacks, collared shirt. Nothing like busting out a new tie!
1. I met the love of my life, Angela, while working a special project installing computers at a local high school! No she wasn’t a student…she was the HOT BEAUTIFUL SEXY VP there!

Ladies and Gentlemen this is Daniel Herrera…OUT
