ReadyGoes

, born product of this need for an impromptu pseudo-dance-pop spectacle, sprouted truly by happy accident. Vocalist Bryan Shackle and drummer Tyler Jorenby (the two co-founding tunesmiths) after years of wading deep in the Minneapolis Scene and being involved w/ some of the biggest names in the nation, had been handed their long-awaited opportunity to form their dream project on a silver platter. After being offered a show on 7-7-07 at the Fineline Music Cafe in Minneapolis (in birthday celebration of local photography wizard Mel Stone) what appeared to be a forthcoming panicked yet painstaking search for the missing links in the group, happened seemingly overnight.

Immediately, in co-founder Jorenby's back yard, were bassist George Hadfield (This World Fair, Ari Herstand) and guitarist Mo (Wannabe Hasbeens, Castle Versus Castle). Shackle then turned to McKinley Place guitarist, Patrick Gibbs, and the lineup was completed.

Within 2 weeks of scrambled rehearsals, writing and recording sessions, and Jager shots down the road at Lee's Liquor Lounge, the supergroup had put together a truly punishing, energetic, and unique indie-pop-rock set of originals.

Several months of assiduous song-crafting and performances at some of the best clubs in town led to the conception of a 5 song self-titled EP with Evan "Evil" Bakke of World Record Productions (Quietdrive, Throw the Fight, Lucky Boys Confusion) and Adam "Pudge" Krinsky. Songs like "Psycho" and "Flashbulb" encompass a slam n' punch indie rock n' roll wind along the lines of such groups as The Killers and Mutemath, while the band maintains its emotionally charged roots in the slamming semiballads "Marianne" and "If I see you again."

It's safe to say that the mischievous kingpins of ReadyGoes won't be seeing much rest in their musical near-futures. They can be found in their studio in Minneapolis (coined "Space") on virtually a nightly basis. Keep your ears peeled for their songs on several of MTV's (and other networks') television shows. Make sure to also attend a concert near you...chances are, they'll buy you a beer.
