7 Song Demo+I remember everything+Unreleased Compilation

So lately I been working on .elaine. again all by myself and I released a 7 Song demo which were just demonstrations I was able to do on my own as a experiment. I saw that I did good so I worked on a 10 song length under I remember everything. I believe this length was the whole concept of .elaine. which I felt satisfied and really happy. I felt like I released all my anger and emotions on those 10 songs afterwards I worked on a song. It was really diy for me. I did the drums on my own and the whole recording in my room. It felt really nice. Anyways afterwards, I was working on a summer EP but I ended up recording one song with 2 guitars and a bass which had much more of a twinkly like feel than the length and the 7 song demo. And recently I put .elaine. On haitus. Not sure when I will start but I can say I at least left a nice legacy behind .elaine.

.Elaine.- A Discography of a High School Memory

Well I finally found every single thing related to the big deuce .Elaine. To me .Elaine. will be a huge part that played in my life although I won't lie I have been in better bands in .Elaine. but this band it is definetly what emo is in Long Beach, California. The songs define the sound of this city we lived in and defined the sound of our shit in high school. We got drunk, high, and played together though we were varied of different musicians on each fucking shitty stuff that were never releasded I finally put it all in one file. 16 songs of a heartbreaking high school memory that it is now turning to a sepia color flashback in my brain whenever I listen to this. I finally made shitty discography CDr's I am selling for 3 bucks. I am only making 30 of these. I think these songs should be free and physical copies. Although the other people I played with don't know of this actual release though I am sure a smile will come out there face just remembering these times we played. I remember our first show at a big house at the edge of Long Beach. We ended up playing the entire 2009 demo, except for the song "Actual Moments" which I am still embaressed about and I never played that song like EVER again. Another show was in the east side in Long Beach on Thanksgiving we did played those same 3 songs along with the other 3 songs from 3 songs, yeah?. I enjoyed playing the stuff from 3 songs more. I felt like we were less booed by the crowd of Ska and Punk teenage kids. I guess they couldnt tell if this was a indie punk, screamo or emo band. To be honest, I don't know neither. We never agreed to what to play. I guess I mixed a bunch of genres and turned it into a big pile of sad dump. But kids didnt know these songs were some depressing shit. They either would shake there head to some of the songs or just had a blank stare towards us thinking "Okay, what the fuck am I listening... Should I walk away? Boo at them? or just stay at the show and buy that 3 songs cd copy? I feel very akward now." I even felt akward playing a show with the wrong crowd that often disrespect this kind of shit but because we mixed it I guess we were an exception to them. We usually played in my backyard and stuff whenever we practiced. Or got high and drunk there. We know our songs were very horrihow often do you come up to a song where the whole world can agree that its a good song, hmm? None. The discography is a set of 16 songs. So not only was it that 2009 4 song fall demo or 3 songs but along with 9 other songs we never fully released. The CDr contains the Bio of the band inside the insert, a half assed booklet on the releases of the shit that was nenver fully released and info of the material. I have made about 5 so far. Will make more if anyone buys. If not it doesn't matter the songs are here for free download.

.Elaine.- Unreleased songs from Gio's garage

Well after 2 years I came across these 3 classic tracks that were suppose to be on a EP. Well one of them were suppose to be on an Self titled EP "Funeral Song". This is 3 shit sounding skramz up the butt tracks. And were the last for this band .Elaine. One which is just a instrumental track and 2 outakes of the song Funeral Song. Sucks how we never got to record a better quality of the track like the 3 songs cd-r. Well here is the last of .Elaine. Oh wait there was an instrumental 4 track EP that never got any light of day along with this stuff. But until I find it then it will see the light of day. These songs were done in my garage around 1 pm-2 pm. No one was home so we jammed one more time which that was literally the last time we ever got to play ever again, due to the drummer being very shitty and lazy (I don't have any contact with him anymore. Oh well. Anyways. Yep. The last shit, besides a 4 track instrumental I cant find. This stuff was recorded around September-October 2010 I believe.. We were going to re-record Drama Weekends, Because there wasn't enough romance along with 3 other new songs including Funeral song, In this division Street (which was only played in our final show and never got recorded, and Color patterns (which also didn't get a chance to be recorded) But my lucky guess is that I am starting a newr band and have about a song down. 3 of the songs Funeral song, In this division street, and color patterns will be on the demo but named differently except funeral song, along with 2 new songs I am working on one called "Estephanie Martinez is a undercover hoe just to let you bros know" and "Backyard fucking was pretty fucking cool, but now its just depressing as your face". Well I hope to get this done very soon, I am stoked to finally get a new drummer we haven't figured the band name yet but sure as hell it will be a fucking badass one. The 2 new songs I am writting I am planning to make them sound very aggressive, angry and sad emo lyrics. Yeahh fuck yeah. I've written the first track, I am using my words for lyrics wisely. I want them to be fucking groovy.
FYI I am making a .Elaine. Discography tape which will include the 2009 demo, 3 songs, unreleased and 4 track EP.

Unreleased shit that didn't ever make it anywhere besides this jam session

.Elaine.

Man, is this fall 2009 or what? This was another short lived band I was in right after First day at work ended with a 2 song demo tape. It consisted of myself (vox/Guitar), and daniel (drums) and arnold who was bass on 3 songs. We did about 9 songs (2 never were recorded). We did a rough demo which were 4 songs and the 3 songs tape/CD-R. I do remember when summer vacation barely did "Do me a favor" demo and I was thinking of maybe playing a show with them but never happened due to the other members being lazy af and leaving me as the only one who wanted more jams. Our last show was in thanksgiving 2009 palying A emo song for Cetlaly, Because there wasn't enough romance, I'll nenver learn, untitled, drama lessons, and A division street (never released) somewhere in the east side of Long Beach, CA. My label Caypo records is going to release a mini discography CD/limited tape don't know when but sometime soon with a few bonus jams that were live sets. I believe the only 2 songs that were outstanding from all the shitty songs were A emo song for Cetlaly, and Because there wasn't enough romance. The rough demo had a more emo/Screamo feel to it while the 3 songs had a 90's emotive hardcore punk feel to it.
