Rymo Tunes - The Personal Site of Musician Ryan Moran

Greetings,

Rymo here again with the goings-on blurb...

2008 was an amazing year and 2009 is off to a great start. There are lots of things in the making, and it will be exciting to see them come to fruition soon. Here is a short bit on a day in the life...

Post-holiday cool down… surf and play drums and didj and do some trail runs and yoga and enjoy the house and not being in a hotel every night and sleeping in my own bed and waking up whenever and not having to be somewhere or catch a bus, plane, train, taxi, barge or other moving vehicle!!! I've discovered yerba mate as an alternative to coffee. Plate lunch is my favorite. Music rules and is fun no matter what. Things that are fun should be done as much as possible.

Slightly Stoopid has been enjoying a long overdue break from the road. We finished out 2008 with a successful string of shows in the west including KROQ's not so acoustic Christmas, 91X's Christmas bonanza and Skullcandy's party in Utah. We are going out in February with The Supervillains from florida. They are a great band and really cool dudes. We've toured with them several times to date, so it will be a family affair. We will be crossing the US from AZ to FL. Check www.slightlystoopid.com for tour dates. 2am and I would do for you have been receiving tons of airplay in SD and nationwide. We've got some big tour plans for the summer run, so stay tuned for that. We will be doing some big festivals in march too... see website for details on line ups etc.

My solo disc has been mixed with the help of Ben Moore and Tom Griesgraber, and has been sent to Howard Givens of Spotted Peccary Records for mastering. Sean Logan, artist extraordinaire and tour manager of The Expendables will be doing the art and layout for the project. There will be 11 original tracks. I'm hoping to get it out by the summer.

Agent 22 has been writing and rehearsing lately. We should have something together by summer as well. Lots of unique ear candy coming soon to a theater near you. Tom and I have been friends and musical partners for over a decade now (yikes)... Check out www.thossounds.com for more information...

Delsoniq has been writing and rehearsing too. We have been collaborating and working out some brand new original material in the instro-funk, dub, jazz, and improv-based genre. We will continue to work in So Cal and beyond. The music is fun and the original stuff is hot. Have a look at www.myspace.com/delsoniq for some snippets of ear happiness...

OG and I started recording a few of our 'show intro' duets in the studio. I'm hoping we can get some stuff together in between tours. I'm envisioning at least 4 or more tracks with us doing our thing. They need some more work, but the core of the pieces is already on wax. Lots of drums, percussion and miscellaneous debris... and the best part... we can actually play them live... most of them. Hahaha.

I've been rehearsing and brainstorming with DJ Smoove of SD. We are putting together some interactive duet stuff and should be performing in clubs by spring of 09. We will be mixing the hiphopdancehouseclassicoldschooldancehallreggaerocksoulelectronic cuts with some moments of scratchy and drummy happiness... Stay tuned...

That's it for now... Do what makes you happy!!!
