Biography
Mellowdrone originated as Jonathan Bates' solo project, but expanded to a full band with Tony DeMatteo (guitar and keyboard), and Brian Borg (drums). Other members of the band included Scott Ellis on drums and Greg Griffith on bass. The band's music encompasses a range of styles from lo-fi, indie rock and experimental.
Their debut album, Box, was released in 2006 on Columbia Records. Their follow-up, Angry Bear, was released in 2009 on Coming Home Records.
Mellowdrone's music has appeared on several television shows, including Project Runway, Six Feet Under, and Cane. "C'Mon Try A Little Bit" was featured in the opening scene of Driv3r. Their song "Oh My" was featured on the FIFA 07 soundtrack and the popular horror movie Prom Night. "Fashionably Uninvited" was included in the soundtrack for the 2007 film The Invisible. "Orange Marmalade" was featured in the 2008 film Never Back Down and in the film Fling. "Beautiful Day" was featured on Project Gotham Racing 2.
After becoming frustrated with the logistics of a full band, Jonathan Bates began a solo project in 2010, dubbed Big Black Delta. He has also played as a touring musician for M83. Former member Camila Gutierrez (Camila Grey) is now a part of the indie electropop band Uh Huh Her.
