Matthew LawrenceProjectsGloomy PharmacyThe Gloomy Pharmacists was the name of the two-man band I was in from 2001-2007. We released a number of EPs online with (understandably) little to no acclaim. In addition to our music, which was all free and mostly distributed via this website, we had a fairly active fan community, and over the years this website had essay contests, movie reviews, and an advice column. Annually we would present a fan-nominated list of the fifty most beautiful people in the world, and from 2002-2007 we organized yearly fan-chosen movie/music/TV/book/internet awards. Our nine EPs, including our annual EPs of traditional and not-so-traditional holiday music, featured contributions by artists from Sweden, Poland, France, the US and the Netherlands. Ethan and I split the songwriting duties on the Gloomy Pharmacists songs, though in general he was the music guy and I did the lyrics. We also both did solo stuff and released it under the Gloomy Pharmacy banner (him under the name Glove Compartment, me as the Glueguns). Songs I wrote have been recorded by electronic artists Question Mark (now Ravage! Ravage!) and Navaira (later half of Technologic.) The old website is gone now, but click around below to see some highlights. |
