Announcing New Band Members

Sun, 23 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Mokracy are very excited to announce the addition of drummer Sam Rhodus and singer/guitarist Don Hicks.

Sam Rhodus’ 25 years of experience have gained him a reputation as a hard hitting, hard rocking drummer. He has powered such regional bands as Devil Stomp, D-Sul, Lithium, Uncle Aleister’s Rock n’ Roll Revival and Valrosa.

He has a reputation for laying down a smooth groove with tasty fills and chops for days that create a big ole fat pocket that everyone can fit in.

Sam’s presence behind the kit ensures a shuffle, a samba and a rockin’ good time.

Don Hicks joins on rhythm guitar and backing vocals, but can also shred with the best of them. Hailing from the town of Bowling Green, KY, and playing since the age of 15, he has studied with David Kelsey, Todd Coop, John Martin and Ben Lacy.

Don's past projects include Cyclin Sam, Powder & Lead, and Devil Stomp.

A Fond Farewell

Sun, 23 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Chase Gabbard has announced he'll be departing Mokracy in order to devote his attention to his other musical projects. We are very thankful to Chase for his contributions to the band during a difficult transition, and wish him the best of luck with Octalux (http://www.myspace.com/octalux) and The Dead Hours (http://www.myspace.com/thedeadhours). We will, of course, keep him on the "back-up" roster should the need arise.

New Photos and Logo

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0800

Jonathan Newsome (http://www.myspace.com/googlyi) has worked up a great new logo for Mokracy. There's really no great story behind it (like misremembering the name of a town in Georgia) but it's definitely the best logo yet and hopefully this one will stick.

ALSO, new pictures from the Brannon Crossing Sports Pub gig have been posted, so be sure to check those out!

Give it a listen!

New Song Posted

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800

Hey, I posted an old song from way back in the day called "The Valley" on the Mokracy music page. It was pretty popular with my friends for a while, even though the production quality is the pits.

Anyway, check it out and lemme know what you think, even if you think it sucks!
