BAND: Jamie's Elsewhere

Biografie

In the world today, many people are held in esteem for the mistakes they have made, rather than the efforts they make to correct them. In the case of Sacramento's JAMIES ELSEWHERE, a rare band of six are determined to make a name for themselves in the right. A Guidebook for Sinners Turned Saints, their Victory Records debut, is a true tale of lessons learned, told through melodic and incredibly detailed rock.

JAMIES ELSEWHERE began with roots in family, with brothers Matthew (guitar) and Anthony Scarpelli (drums) writing songs together throughout their youth. In December 2005, they set a goal to make a career out of their love for music, and went forward with a search for the perfect mesh. Anthony Carioscia (guitar) flew over 2000 miles to audition, and was welcomed along with locals Mike Spearman (keys) and Nick Rodriguez (bass) shortly thereafter. The five came together under the name JAMIES ELSEWHERE, taken from an 80's Chicago area venue that
held warm memories for the Scarpelli's father. A year and a half long writing process began while continuously looking for the missing piece: a vocalist. Chris Patterson, who had missed an original audition due to an auto accident, happened to be playing acoustically at a party attended by a few band members. His voice was what the band needed; JAMIES ELSEWHERE entered the studio the next day.

The self released EP that was the result of that studio session would go on to put JAMIES ELSEWHERE on the map. They began touring the entire west coast throughout the next year, speaking to every individual they could about their goal at hand. Over 5000 copies were
sold entirely D-I-Y style, an incredible fete for any band. This mantra of hard work is what caught the eye of Victory Records; JAMIES ELSEWHERE was welcomed to the family at the end of 2007.
