BLUEPRINT - 1999

written, arranged, produced & performed by AJM

After the split of Boston band Ten To Six, a new power pop trio was formed. SHRUG immediately had an identifiable pop/punk style but really never had the chance to develop. Alex abruptly split from the group in the middle of a stressful gig at the Boathouse on Lake Merced. "I just didn't want to do it anymore." Recalls Alex about playing shows, "So I spent the next few years working on dozen's of song demo's without the distraction of hauling gear around town and the day to day politics of being in an independent band." At the time, Alex had a whole new batch of songs, many of which have gone unreleased and sit in the archives, but 14 of them made their way onto 1999's BLUEPRINT. A few years were spent toiling around the old basement studio on 32 Desmond street in the Visitation Valley area of San Francisco. Then setting up a short lived studio in Marin County, where final vocals and mixing were completed and the eventual release of BLUEPRINT in late 1999.
