Dexter Rotten - Patrick Lew's OTHER Band Information

Patrick Lew — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:31:32 +0100

Work in progress. Just two Asian guys who play guitar and create music on our computer laptops and writing songs on our guitars and other gizmo electronics, through online collaboration when school's out at CSUEB. We're actually semi-trained rock musicians, and we write Hard Rock kind of music. Both of us are living in the East Bay, and Patrick lives in Antioch while Jeremy lives closer to the University in San Leandro. Together, they make music via Internet collaboration and promote their tracks and mixes to you on many websites like Soundclick and PureVolume online!

Why this name?

Taken from the first and last names of two Punk musicians. Johnny Rotten from The Sex Pistols and Dexter Holland of The Offspring. We're also sometimes known as Artists Are Not Architects, which the sub bandname was given as an idea by Jeremy after doing research on his Macbook.

Do you play live?

Not right now. School's keeping us busy. And we might play live with other bands rather. Depends.
Special moments? Making music and promoting our mixes online on websites like this.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Helps unknown everyday folks like me and you get our music heard better through sharing MP3 files of our music on various websites along with our self-portrait. Gives more options to the unsigned little guys. But desecrates the music industry in some ways too. Long story, Patrick's writing an essay for Philosophy about that music downloading issue.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Money changes everything. And a musician has to eat obviously. It depends.

Band History:

1985 -- Patrick Lew was born.

1989 -- Jeremy Alfonso was born.

1999/2000 -- Patrick begins his music career playing guitar in his high school band Silent Minister and making music.

2001 -- Patrick starts promoting his music online.

2004 -- Jeremy begins learning how to play guitar and begins playing guitar and pursuing in music in various San Francisco local bands, most notably Distorted Harmony.

2008 -- Both Patrick and Jeremy are pursuing and making music solo for their own artistic and creative pursuits and hobby away from their inactive or active bands they play guitar in.

September 2009 -- The band Dexter Rotten comes together as a Rock Duo.

Your influences?

Jeremy's into everything, like Patrick. But the difference is Patrick is more of a Hard Rock and Alternative Rock guy. While Jeremy is more of technical music people, attempting to get classically trained teachings in playing music and making it. But he's a big Thrash Metal guy. Which is ironic, since Patrick likes 80's Hair Metal more generally speaking. We have tons of music and recordings on our iTunes on the computer to draw new inspiration for ideas.

Favorite spot?

The Bay Area for the most part. Roaming around downtown San Francisco on an aimless adventure...

Equipment used:

We use Epiphone guitars. Patrick uses Marshall practice amps. Jeremy uses a Microcube practice amp for his guitar playing. And we record digitally on the electronic gadget known as Apple GarageBand and the Macbook.

Anything else...?

The Lew Crue - Musical Hype

Patrick Lew — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:30:34 +0100

Patrick Lew's Band (sometimes known as The Lew Crue) is the solo project of Taiwanese American musician, songwriter, artist and writer Patrick Lew. He has also played guitar and pursued music in other projects with other musicians such as Band of Asians, Silent Minister and other lesser known local San Francisco rock/metal bands. His music is known production and recording wise, chaotic and unconventionally recorded and mixed like a jigsaw puzzle. But stylistically by sound and lyrically, is Alternative Rock and Pop Punk music with socially conscious and idiosyncratic themes. In addition to music, Lew is also an amateur Philosophy and creative writer and contributed small acting roles in plays locally for his schools.

History
Musically, guitarist and songwriter Patrick Lew has been pursuing his music and creative activities in a few short-lived local bands as early as 1999, by making sporadic live performances and hosting his music and former bands via Internet. When those local bands he played guitar and wrote songs in didn't work out. Lew took an extended hiatus from pursuing music full-time for college and to spend more time with his family.

While Lew was a freelance musician at the time, recording tracks alone in his home studio. He was still keeping his audience and fans updated via Internet through Twitter and Facebook, as a method to get himself active in his latest musical developments. Thus beginning the second era for Lew's music career and studio band years. In the summer of 2008, Lew transferred out of City College to CSU East Bay. And later relocated from his hometown of San Francisco 45 miles Northeast to a small town in the East Bay, Antioch. After unsuccessful attempts to get a record deal and becoming a sort of careerist in music, he would decide to remain indepedent as an unsigned band. But is willing to be open towards right opportunities for his music. Depending on the nature of the opportunity, such as creative rights and ethics over his music and possibly a limited touring schedule to play shows.

Lew would play and record all the instruments in his solo project. And solely promote his own works individually without other music industry oulets and support and work from others. Much of the promotion is done via Internet.

The time spent in the home studio yielded many new tracks and song ideas. It also helped Lew better his songwriting skills and guitar playing, which he was initially a very primitive musician. On January 11, 2009, Lew released a solo album, "Curb Your Wild Life." He would publicly promote his new record by creating a Listening Party event on his Facebook profile, allowing fans and friends to be aware and hearing the latest work that Lew had created. He however, did not play shows to hype or promote the record because, of the extended hiatus. This also marked a change in musical direction and sound in Lew's works. Unlike his earlier albums, his music and audio diary began more experimentation and sprawling attempts musically. Lyrically, the songwriting was more self-righteous and maturing. Around this same time or earlier, underground rock musician Patrick Lew began an idea for a possible new band to play guitar and pursue music in called Your Audio 2 Riot.

This nearly became an aborted project due to lack of resources and ideas to properly plan. Your Audio 2 Riot was a rock band idea that Lew created during the summer of 2008, because Lew wanted to do music solo and have a 2nd band to pursue his artistic creations in. Initially, Your Audio 2 Riot was a planned project Lew had with former Scarlett Bombs drummer Kelsey Mitchell. Which they went into the studio to jam and rehearse, but was an unsuccessful attempt at starting something new musically. The Your Audio 2 Riot project remained inactive, as Lew began recording and promoting his solo project to a certain audience and outlet. On February 10, 2009, Lew played live for the first time as an artist in 18 months at the library at CSU East Bay with just him, his guitar and portable amp.

At times, Lew would hide related memorabilia of his past music career in a cardboard box locked in his closet. Because, he wanted to move forward and progress with the future. He left in his closet several unheard and unreleased tapes of song ideas, sketches and jams his former bands done.

Why this name?

Well, Patrick Lew is my REAL NAME. The BAND refers to the music and art I created either as a solo artist or playing guitar in my former local Bay Area garage bands. But this however, focuses on mainly things I did on my own.

Do you play live?

Right now, I'm keeping everything LOW-KEY. For many reasons. I have college, family and other opportunities to jam with schoolmates and online friends because of boredom to show our passion for making and playing Rock music on our gear. I don't have a lot of time to play gigs because, I am busy with college and my personal life at this time. But music will always be a passion for me, either recording or playing it center stage. I did play shows in my former bands locally in bars and small places, but that was awhile earlier before I took college seriously.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Changes everything. Helps unknown people who CREATE music get heard. By setting up a website and, writing a story and showcase our music on a computer and the Internet. It changes everything. Before, there wasn't easy ways to get your band's music heard unless you played lots of shows, had your song played on MTV or Radio and had a CD or tape sold in record stores. Now anyone, regardless, can record their music at home and put it up online with today's technology. God bless reality.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

I would say, yes and no. Because, while I love being an independent rock musician after all. Promoting my songs and writing my story on websites like this. I still want recognition and make an IMPACT with whatever I am doing. But I say no, because I am a very complicated Asian guy who is against the traditions and politics of the music industry. I had many friends growing up in the San Francisco music scene who wanted to get signed to a major or indie record label, in bands, but many of whom didn't get far from just playing gigs at bars and clubs. I also am against people suddenly sucking up to me, after years of alienation and hardships I've experienced not only in the music industry. But in reality. But I still want success and recognition for my music and me. Yeah.

Your influences?

Mostly the Beatles, 70's and 80's Hard Rock, Alternative Rock and Punk. Some METAL such as Metallica along the way. But I mainly create music with my own individuality. I been making music since I was 13, but my musical interests are always expanding. I like 70's and 80's Hard Rock like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Guns And Roses and Aerosmith. I like early 90's Grunge like Pearl Jam and Nirvana. I like Punk such as The Clash and Minor Threat. I even listen to underground Hip Hop. Everything man, as long as it's up my alley. I like all music except, some Country and this decade's pop music. Meaning most of the 2000s.

Favorite spot?

East Bay, California. Anywhere else? School, only with the company of close schoolmates and friends. Other than that, home sweet home in Antioch, playing my Xbox 360. Reading and playing guitar in my room. And going on Facebook.com to keep in contact with friends online on my computer. And being in my home studio making crappy but interesting music, and playing a gig onstage when time permits me to do so. I love to entertain and give art and music to the people, and earn appreciation for what I do.

Equipment used:

Gibson Les Paul guitar. Epiphone Les Paul "hotWheels" guitar. Marshall MG10 amp. Boss DS-2 distortion pedal. Digitech RP50 multi-effects pedal. Acoustica Mixcraft for PC. My DELL laptop running Windows Vista....And I record using Line6 TonePort GX for my guitar when using Mixcraft. And I program the drum loops. I also use Cakewalk to record, and Native Instruments Guitar Rig 3.

Patrick Lew — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:28:56 +0100

About Me: Just your introverted Taiwanese guy who is Rock And Roll and plays guitar. And makes music! I've been a Rock N' Roll musician in the Bay Area and promoting myself online for almost a decade.

Patrick Lew's Band. Solo Grunge musician who promotes his music via Internet on websites like this.

Internet Musician SINCE 2001. Been in bands, played some shows locally, promoted my music online. Now studying music and doing it as a solo musician in college at Cal State East Bay.

I was born in 1985 in San Francisco, California. I am currently in college working on a BA degree in Philosophy and Music at the moment. My interests is mainly art and music, I am in fact as struggling local musician trying to make music, put it online and learn my ropes and odyssey for fame in the music industry. I am of Asian descent, meaning I am Taiwanese American. Though I don't speak my ethnic languages. I mainly play guitar as a musician and write songs and make my music on the computer and put it up online. I've been through a lot of good and bad in my lifetime. But again, it's all been worth it! After 24 years in my life, I am taking the time to do some evaulation to cleanse myself after years of turmoil. I think personally! I am living for today, but have a strong sense of missing the Nineties! It's true.

I've been on Soundclick as a solo musician since August 2005, and I also been making music in garage bands. Getting ourselves noticed and heard to survive since 2001 locally and via Internet, on websites like this. We done some sporadic shows regionally in the Bay Area as musicians. I been making music since I started playing guitar at age 13, and I am a very unconventional musician and songwriter. Considering I know little about conventional music theory and etc. I love being a one-man band (Patrick Lew's Band) because, more freedom, creativity and artistically. And I don't work under timing issues. But I do miss playing shows. I mostly make Grunge, Hard Rock and Punk kind of music as a solo musician. With a few extra added electronics!

So let me start, I was born in November of 1985. I am currently 24 years of age, and I got into music (primarily Rock N' Roll) at a very young age. When most babies were in their diapers playing their toys and watching Sesame Street on their TV. When I turned 13 years old, around 1998 or whatever. I was a 7th grader at Rooftop Alternative School in my former hometown of San Francisco. My mom and I went to a Guitar Shop and bought me a Fender Strat bundle for my 13th birthday. I was going to Chinese school in SF Chinatown, where I was friends with my later high school buddy Tommy Loi. We were in the same language and music lessons program. So we began playing music together, as Tommy was learning Drums in his Band/Orchestra course. In the summer of 1999, we began an amateur garage band as musician hobbyists called Goldenweasel. Which later became, Silent Minister. Our high school band. I was getting guitar lessons at the time, and we knew this was FUN and INTERESTING.

When me and Tommy went to Wallenberg High School together, we began our teenage lives as high school students. I was so interested in music, it became a passion and sometimes hobbyist obsession. Other than my video games, cartoons and writing. Around early 2001 or something, my schoolmate Joey Fitzgerald introduced me formally to his friend Morgan's younger brother Eddie Blackburn. Due to my complaints and desire to form a REAL rock band of musicians to play and make music with! We were basically in our mid-teens, although Eddie was age 12 when he joined Silent Minister. So that became our high school band. And suddenly! I was recording on a 4-track Tascam Portastudio at home, yeah I know...I am old. Haha, but I found out I could promote my music all over the Internet. So one afternoon in May of 2001, I went on my old PC computer with 56K dial-up Internet. And made a website. Thus, beginning my music career.

We played shows sporadically whenever we could. Depending on time and etc. The first gig Silent Minister played were buskers at Vans Warped Tour 2001 at a tent filled with rock band instruments. 2001, was not only the start of my music career personally. But, also the first time I played in a REAL rock band. Garage band, local band...Whatever! I was coming-of-age at the time, angry with high school melodrama and bullshit. But I also was in LOVE when I met my high school girlfriend, Amy Sean. She even built the first website for my music (http://patallans.8k.com)! So anyways, making music was the main priority and project for us. Distributing and marketing it online and regionally was second. And playing shows and getting heard, third.

When I was 16 years old, close to my 17th birthday. Me and Silent Minister played "BATTLE OF THE BANDS" in San Francisco at some nightclub. It was a very short live performance of our amateur Garage Band music. Rock N' Roll style. There's no pictures of us playing live, we didn't own digital cameras until 2004 or 2005. They were expensive at retailers at the time. And none of our friends came to see us, live, had a camera on them. But snuck in a tape recorder to bootleg our gig. Which I still have the tape somewhere in my room in a cardboard box of my music career memorabilia. So there! The next few years, we would play gigs on occasion and record new music and put it online. Despite the fact, we were very undeveloped as songwriters and musicians back then. Tommy soon left the band for school, but we're still very close today. He's working on Business and Retail now. But soon...

Opportunity knocked on our email account on Yahoo, when Statue Records contacted us on our SC website (when Silent Minister still had a Soundclick) in early 2003, about a promotion record deal. We signed. And it made us even more dedicated, passionate and serious about making music and behind it all. Regardless what f***ing music critics and haters thought of us. 2003, I was in love with Amy. And I was doing cross-promotion and distribution of my music individually and Silent Minister. Amy and I were close, somehow I met a lot of groupies via Internet during this time alone. I had an ex-girlfriend Mikko, who I dated and met through Findapix.com at the time. When that ended, some issues would continue for me as I was graduating high school. Me and Amy broke up, and were completely estranged since then. Although we did briefly reconcile at the Wallenberg High School reunion for alumni's in 2008. Pictures up to show what was once beautiful, can come back, but gets lost again.

In the summer of 2004, I graduated from Wallenberg. And was off to cram school at City College of San Francisco. I didnt want to at first, but my high school transcripts were awful. Since I focused more on music and art than my education at the time. I nearly got accepted to San Jose State University, when I sent in my bad SAT and ACT testing scores and college application to them. But I f***ed it all up. I even went to rehab in September of that year, because I was unhappy with my family life and with love & romance parting company in not so friendly terms. But Silent Minister went back into the recording studio, and we recorded a 2nd album "Blizzard of Sound" which later became Ed's solo album "Personality" for disputed source and reason. I was making music solo, jamming with other local musicians from City College and Craigslist. Little did I know, it was the tail end of my high school band.

So in 2005, we finished a short tour across San Francisco high schools and City College. I met my FIRST close schoolmate and friend in college, Zack Huang. In my Ethnic Studies course for Asian Americans. We loved liberal arts, music, film and being creative as individuals. Silent Minister and I were barely making music at this point. Ed was doing solo projects, so was I. In May, me and Ed as Silent Minister worked on music one last time for jam sessions and fun hobbyist band practices. After that, despite how many times me as a solo artist/musician and with Silent Minister, promoted our recordings and story online. We came to a point where, we had to go part company and do whatever we loved individually. So I called Zack, and we began jamming on music and buying hella equipment from Guitar Center to prepare a very ambitious Rock Project. At first we were called AUDIO RAGE. We tried out a few guitarists we met on MySpace musician ads. But that didn't work out. Me and Zack, also, briefly played with my schoolmate Gray Eser's band TORM. We were mainly inactive for various events and experiences in our lives at the time, so we never recorded anything.

By the time, I took a year off college to focus on my music career. I went to Skyline College briefly, because of my parents demanding education as a priority for me. But I was in NO shape physically or mentally to go back to school yet to learn my education. But when I took a music and reading course, I met my close friend David Arceo. Which we founded the DJ and Electronic Arts club on campus. I called Zack, and this became our band known today by many independent music fanatics as BAND OF ASIANS...

Why this name?

Well, Patrick Lew is my REAL NAME. The BAND refers to the music and art I created either as a solo artist or playing guitar in my former local Bay Area garage bands.

Patrick Lew Biography. Written By Steve Weatherford.

Patrick Lew — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:26:23 +0100

Patrick Lew is a rock band from Antioch, California active making music since 1999. While mainly a one-man project for Lew, it also consisted of other musicians before. He began promoting his music online around 2001 at 15 years old and a high school freshmen. His music and art is classified best as Hard Rock, Grunge, Pop Punk and Alternative Metal.

He is the self-proclaimed rebellious Taiwanese rock musician and artist from the Bay, and he?s living for the moment in his music and work as he listens to a collection of 80?s Hair Metal bands and their records on his iPod Nano, as he sits on the computer recording a sketch of guitar riffs and posting his story and basement-made Rock music via Internet. Patrick Lew has been on radar in his hometown of San Francisco?s Bay Area pummeling sludgy riffs and self-expressing his audio diary of struggle, change and final fantasies for about 11 years already. Lew has been in a variety of short-lived garage bands playing guitar and writing songs and Rock N? Roll music, and embarked on a long and winding Asian headbanger?s journey to stay strong and wise on where ever he?s at! Always staying true to his underground DIY rock roots and ethics, Patrick Lew produces, composes and promotes his own music (Patrick Lews Band) without the assistance of record labels, the Bay Area music scene and a band of studio musicians. And co-writes and makes music in the Pop Punk and Alternative Metal duo DEXTER ROTTEN. He is a primitive, yet somewhat trained songwriter, contributing his work to a few schoolmates looking to make some rockin? music with the aid of a computer and Facebook! And also, Patrick Lew himself landed a few small acting roles in his school plays and theater courses. In 2003, his hard work paid off with his high school band Silent Minister landed a short-term distribution deal with Statue Records when promoting and hyping their song ?Tokyo Pop Princess? via Internet on MP3.com and Soundclick. In the next few years, Lew?s music and consistent Internet promotion led him to earn a few awards with his former bands despite being terribly overlooked and going through struggles as an individual and Rock musician. Although never very popular with certain audiences on the websites he promotes his music on, and lack of support from the local regional music scene and other outlets. He?s strong-willed and is passionate about what he creates and does. And continues to rock out and make music no matter what gets in his way. Patrick Lew?s Band has also been featured on MTV U?s ?Best Music On Campus,? Recording Magazine?And also! Had a few of his tracks played on CCSF?s indie rock station and Pirate Cat Radio.

Believing in the philosophy as a BA major in Philosophy at CSU East Bay of ?Never let anyone drag you down, and do what you love no matter what.? Patrick Lew works, writes and is serious about the music, art and self-expression whenever an idea comes to mind, or something he experiences is popping the creative juices. Patrick Lew got into music at a very early age of 2 years old, growing up on his Asian parent?s baby boomer Classic Rock such as The Beatles. And then moving onto Metal, such as Glam, Thrash and NWOBHM. Along with 90?s punk rock and Grunge bands like Green Day, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden and Blink 182. To Patrick Lew, music is universal and no matter what you like or dislike or feel interest for. It satisfies your life with creativity and spiritual soul-seeking, and never letting anyone discourage you or get in the way of it.

A very unique artist in his own right, Patrick Lew is also an avid blogger and digital photographer. Growing up as a kid drawing comic books and Anime, he also been artistic in creative fields outside of music as well during his 24 years in this universe! Not only just an artist, Lew is also a slightly highly-educated and knowledgeable person as well. Through self-education based on experience and others, and school. And he has been promoting and marketing his own music on the Internet since 2001.
