Pour a little out for Stereotyperider

There comes a time in most bands’ careers where they find themselves calling it a day. Unfortunately, this is the decision that the Phoenix-based Stereotyperider recently made. After being a band for almost 10 years and releasing 3 albums and 2 EP’s, the band has announced their final show at the Yucca Tap Room on Saturday, June 27th.

From Suburban Home Poppa Virgil Dickerson:

“Stereotyperider formed from the ashes of two Arizona bands, Mandingo and Adam’s Alcoholics. After self-releasing a CD-EP, the band came up to Denver to record at 8 Houses Down. The album that would become their debut, “Same Chords, Same Songs, Same Six Strings” ended up in my lap and I found myself listening to the album over and over again. Having known Mike from Mandingo and Anthony from Sam the Butcher and loving the album, we asked them if we could release that first album. They said yes and the rest has been history. They had been Suburban Home’s longest running act who also released “Prolonging the Inevitable”, “Under the Influence” (the first incarnation of what is now a 7″ series), and their latest (and might I add greatest), “Songs in the Keys of F and U.”

Stereotyperider are one of those bands that I always felt deserved much more than they ever got recognition for. Fusing elements of punk, post-hardcore, and maybe a little stoner rock, the band had a sound unlike most others. I never felt like we were the best fit for what we put out as I always envisioned them on a label like No Idea or Jade Tree or maybe Some Records. That said, I have always been proud to have put out their releases.

Anthony will continue to play in the Revenge while it is uncertain what the other members plan to do.

Stereotyperider, you will be missed. With a little luck, I will be able to convince you to drive up to Denver one last time.”
