User:Bolmongani

So... i guess after nearly 20 years this is the "beginning". I,R Ryan Pritts am/are BOLMONGANI. my history, as it goes, really gets swinging with the band PAIK. founded in 1996 by my brother Robert Smith, my partner at the time Allison Clegg, and...me. Long story short Bolmongani( with an O not an A) was something that happened in a dream/fever at the time( 2001) as i woke to be the new name of my "4 track" solo project. we all had one going in our band...Drak Red, La contessa, July, ...etc. Details: i have been a touring member of: Dirtbombs, Easy Action, PAIK, Bolmongani...appeared on recordings by: They Come in Threes, Easy Action, Detroit Cobras, Witches, PAIk, Burglar Fucker,Bolmongani.

Notable shows/tours: 3 Terrastock festivals, North american Steven Malkmus and the Jicks tour supporting band, BRMC 1st VIRGIN tour supporting band,BOA DRUM 8-8-08 Drummer, MIT Senior Steer Festival w/ onieda, 4th Street Fuckin Fair!...DETROIT

so all that done, i moved to NC from Detroit in 2006, not long after started really putting the one-man band thing together as a placeholder in absence of my brothers involvement. 2 full length records, a shitload of shows, and a slew of singles and im over it in 2014...Resurrected in 2016 with a chosen group of individuals and a new direction for songs....i give you: BOLMONGANI FEAT. THE HARD 8. 2 drummers ,stand up- no kick drums, lead/ rythm gtrs ,bass gtr. its what were doin now...stay tuned much love---BMG/HRD8
