the memorials

No one can, or should even try to, deny that Thomas Pridgen is to drums what Mick Portnoy believes he is to drums. His track record speaks for itself. But, who would have thought that, after leaving The Mars Volta, this prestigious man would go beyond his self and develop his own project that would go on a hunt for that long lost thing we used to call rock n roll. His year-old project, The Memorials might just be a strange bit of Alice Cooper meets Jimi Hendrix, with a Blondie-esque lead songstress. Now, that’s pretty damn rock n’ roll.
