Karen Embree
Hey all,
I just wanted to let you know that my mother is going to undergo some minor brain surgery tomorrow. If anybody feels like sending her a little message, some words of positivity, or just positive thoughts, it would mean the world to me. WIthout her I literally would not have ever created the music I have, or had the opportunities to have such an amazing musical journey. She gave me my...

Flab Mag: Interview with Matthew Embree about...
Chez Raymond, an EP by ME&LP of six disparate but complimentary songs crafted by Matthew Embree (RX Bandits) and Lisa Papineau (Big Sir), is a sentimental homage to the joys of collaboration and musical experimentation. The styles veer from lilting Flamenco on the EP opener Quatro to rolling country-folk on EP closer – a tune Embree calls “a joke” (it’s not) – Right On Down the Line with...

Guest Vocals on new Zechs Marquise Track
As cliché as it is, a sophomore slump is a relatively valid fear for artist and fan alike But given the pedigree of Zechs Marquise, the fear diminishes quite a bit. Featuring Marcel and Marfred Rodriguez-Lopez (the former of Mars Volta fame), the El Paso, TX outfit will release their second album Getting Paid on September 27th via Rodriguez-Lopez Productions. They’ve even invited brother...

Matthew Embree and Lisa Papineau, two musicians with quite the pedigree between them (Rx Bandits and Big Sir, plus contributions to Air and M83, respectively), have joined forces in the shape of ME & LP. An unexpected pairing with backgrounds that could have landed them anywhere on the map, the surprising result is all the more satisfying. “Bonnie Says (No Shitty Ride)” has a...

Songwriters On Process Interview
Matthew Embree, RX Bandits, Love You Moon
The RX Bandits sound fuses elements of rock, reggae, ska, and jazz. Their multi-dimensional approach should come as no surprise, though, once you understand the creative process of songwriter Matt Embree. He writes all the time, and not just songs: Embree is an avid poet. And like any good poet, he finds inspiration everywhere. He doesn’t...

Matthew's email contact
hey everybody I realized that its been a while since I had an email address for fans to contact me directly. It’s important to me to have this connection mainly because well… I’m a man, not a rockstar and I enjoy the interaction. Communication is really important especially lately as there have been some things taken out of context or just assumed all together. Also...

The disappearance of the protest song
If you caught Jimmy Fallon’s October 24th performance in Matthews Arena, chances are you heard his opening number Car Wash for Peace, a charming little ditty in which Fallon lightheartedly asks us to put down our guns, pick up a sponge, and head to a Wal-Mart parking lot. Sure, this song is witty and...

"Till I Go Down" in Venezuela
While RX Bandits were in Caracas Venezuela in 2009 on our South American tour, I was able to spend many hours in the Waipea Records studio on our days off. Our Venezuelan brother Marcel recorded tons of my freestyle jamming with an acoustic guitar into the wee hours of the night. Well, he surprised me by taking a section of the session and getting some awesome Venezuelan musicians (Waipea...

Perspective
Hey there all,
This is my first official blog entry. I’ll be honest it’s kind of weirding me out for a plethora of reasons. First I don’t really like talking or writing about myself, and that in and of itself is pretty major seeing as how a blog is ostensibly just that. Also I happen to be an avid reader of one of my best friends and band brother Steve Choi’s blog and...
