What this site is meant to be…

Ever since Melmac broke up I have been thinking about what to do with our website.

I know I wanted to keep a history of our music online somewhere; songs we released and songs we didn’t. So at least this site will serve as that history - with links to the highest quality versions of songs I can find (while digging through CDs and tapes we made throughout the years). It will try to also document the songs that we never got to finish (and maybe inspire us to once and for all record them properly for you).

It is awesome how much technology has changed since we built the first website for our band in 1999.  Instead of online stores we had printable mail order forms, kept our merch inventory on print outs in my parents basement, mp3.com was used to share songs, video wasn’t an option, we planned shows/tours over phone calls more than emails (having a spreadsheet of contact numbers and directions), etc…

So because technology has improved one of the other things I was looking to turn this website into was a place where you could send us your memories so that we can post them as well.  If you have anything you want to add to our history please feel free to send them to us through the form on this page: http://melmac34.net/submit.  It can be anything from photos, music, quotes, video, text, links… whatever you can find if time permits.

I hope you know that you were just as much a part of Melmac as we were.  Thank you for your kind words over the years, your voices at shows, your handshakes and high-fives.

Sincerely,
Anthony (who needs to practice trombone more often) and the rest of Melmac
