    so that’s it for grand unified theory. we’re all off to different locales across the country to delve into our respective day jobs. who knows what might happen in the future, but for now, we’d like to thank all of you who came to our shows and who gave our music a listen. we’d also like to leave you all with a little gift, two songs that we recorded a few months back and that Alex Oana mixed for us. one’s called The Postcard, the other’s called Another Excuse (For Not Having To Say You’re Sorry). You can download mp3s of both of these songs on the music page of our website. that’s about it. bye for now…

Bio

Grand Unified Theory is Jerry Chen on guitar and bass, me, Diego Montero, on guitar and bass, and Julie Macon on drums. Jerry and I met at Griffiths Hall in Unit 2 of the UC Berkeley dorms. A couple of years later, we began to play together every now and then and eventually committed to a more or less formal band. Our first show was on the first anniversay of 9-11 at Blakes’ on Telegraph. A few days later I moved away to Athens, Ohio. Upon returning to the East Bay, we regrouped and to our incredible good fortune, we were joined by Julie. We all like to listen to groups like Bright Eyes, The Pixies, Sonic Youth, and Curisve. At the moment, Jerry particularly enjoys The Good Life. Julie really likes Pedro the Lion. I really like the compilation soundtrack for the movie, “Crumb.” Jerry, it should be admitted, does most of the leg work. He’s written most of the songs, to which I’ve only contributed relatively small parts. Further, he’s taken the initiative to flesh out into full songs fragments of songs that I occasionally invent. But I try to pick up my the slack in other areas, like this bio, the poster art, and talking to the audience at shows.
