Founded in December 2009, The Memorials is a project spearheaded by Thomas Pridgen. After a few years as drummer for The Mars Volta, Thomas turned his attention to forming his own group, which would incorporate a range of styles as diverse as the experiences of the bands members. Thomas quickly got in touch with friends and former students at Berklee College of Music - Viveca Hawkins (Vocals) and Nick Brewer (Guitars), and asked them to join him in his newest endeavor.

The Memorials SELF-TITLED debut album was recorded at The Zoo in Oakland, California, as well as at Thomas’ home studio, between December 14th, 2009 and Feb. 3rd, 2010. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
