Ron Lewis - Guitar, Bass, Drums, Rhodes, Vox Chad Hanson - Guitar, Bass, Rhodes, Vox Aaron Bolton - Drums, Rhodes Tim Holland - Bass Mines music combined pop sensibilities with more challenging instrumentation and arrangements, and occasional dashes of progy/mathy flair between their emphasis on speedy power pop songcraft. The result is a perfect comprimise between your sing-along side and your post-rock leanings. Mines origins trace back to Missoula, Montana, where Aaron, Chad and Ron all met and played music together in various bands and configurations in the mid to late 90's. They all ended up in Seattle where Chad and Aaron played together in an early 5-piece configuration of The Dutch Flat. Around the end of 2001, The Dutch Flat relocated to Portland as a trio, leaving Chad and Aaron in Seattle, where Chad's solo side project (with the aid of Ron) evolved into Mines. They released their debut full-length- The Way the Wind Whips the Water (WLR009) as a trio in late 2002. Soon after, Tim came on board as the full-time bass player. They recorded a 2nd album in early 2004, which was released in Japan in 2005 on & Records. It has not yet been released domestically, tho we hope to do a limited release of it on Woodson Lateral at some point. Over the last couple of years, Ron has been busy filling in as 2nd guitarist for a tour with Portland's amazing Joggers, did some time behind the bass with our own Treasure State, has been working on his own Ghost Stories project, and is now drumming for The Fruit Bats. Chad is currently living in Portland with his talented fiancé and playing some great singer/songwriter stuff as Field Notes. His first album, The Color Of Sunshine was released on Woodson Lateral Nov.1, 2005. He is currently writing and recording material for a follow-up. Aaron played drums on a Field Notes west-coast tour in April 2006, and has moved back to Missoula, where he co-owns a great record store, Ear Candy. |
