Uploading these old Monstamorgue live shows I see how much fun we had. The Band breaking up is really my fault. So to the fans and mostly to the band members I want to post a formal apology. (John, Rion, Bethany, Colby)

I want to explain my actions, no I have to.
I can’t remember exactly, but I know there were some differences of opinion on the sound and direction we wanted the band to go. We had always agreed that this was a second band to every one. I was drumming for Chester Moore’s “Freak 13″, Joel (Drummer) was drumming and making amazing music with his band “Uptown”, Rion (guitar) was shredding in his band “Undue”. … and…. I was starting a new life as a father with my second kiddo (Evie).

Due to my obsessive personality I found myself neglecting my family more and more so I wanted to stop the band and focus on the family for a little while. We did. Then we reformed with a new drummer and started rehearsals with new music and a new more old-school “Misfits” meets “Elvis Presley” sound with more sax and less distortion. and it really jammed, it sounded so much like the old band and sound that we were all so excited.We were actually ready for another show!

So what happened????

Well.. in a nutshell.. Hurricane RITA

After we were displaced for almost a month we came home changed. I mean by the grace of God we did not lose our home like so many others, but we did have a chance to experience Central TX. When we came home, all I wanted to do was get away from the humid, oil refinery air, mosquito infested, racists area of South East Texas. Central TX was so beautiful, Clean dry air, crystal clear rivers, and people who are just “people” .. the music scene is thriving and there is so much culture and things to do. It made me hate being in the Golden Triangle even more.

Now we lived in a very nice neighborhood in Groves, TX. Down the street was the town of Port Arthur. Lots of crime there (ask our bassist, he is a Police Officer there). One night we heard gunfire and it was way louder than normal (I shouldn’t have to say that). The next day we found out that there was a shooting at the end of our road. Not to mention that the previous week, there was a passed out, drugged out, raped woman laying in the middle my road as I was leaving for work. Some one had drugged her, raped her and dumped her there. Bev and I did not feel safe anymore. We decided to move. It was sudden.. I gave no real explanation to any one .. we just packed up and moved. So fast in fact that I moved with my Brother-In-Law and was living in his closet while Bev and the kids stayed in Groves until I found a job and a place to live.

So here we are 6 years later. I have to admit that Monstamorgue is one of the things I really didn’t want to leave behind but I did. I am so sorry. I really miss it, and all of you.

Jym … Jimmy Morgue.

PS. if you move over here we can start the band again. (I am serious)

It is true, we have turned to the dark-side. (They had donuts)

We love doing comedy and have managed to do quite a bit in the past, but I have always wanted to dip my toes in the horror/drama pool. I remember quite a while back I started planning and scheming for a serious side of Jimmy Morgue. I mean, Monstamorgue has always been pretty tongue in cheek. Jimmy was a fun character, but the story was dark, we had so much fun with it but never got to do anything other than just write it down.

My friend Derek Womack and I even started filming an independent film about the history and final battle between Jimmy and The Professor, but it was never completed. After I had my first taste of Cinéma vérité  with Derek Womack’s “The Curse of Sara Jane” I knew that I wanted to do something of my own like that. So when I decided to make a separate ongoing series starring Jimmy Morgue.. I knew that was the easiest rout to take. (and most fun for me)

Jimmy Morgue’s Channel 13 is my attempt in furthering the story.. and it also ties in to some of the characters and stories in the new upcoming Monstamorgue web series, and the KRO-BIN: The Barbarian series. JMC13 is some of the darkest material I have done in a very long time. Some of the scenes are pretty brutal in my opinion and is not for kids.

the term “Channel 13″ was the title of a song that Monstamorgue did. It was a story of some creepy stuff that happened to my self and a friend of mine at her house with her TV. “Channel 13″ was one of the first songs that we released and was one of our fan’s favorites.

If you look at the story of Jimmy Morgue, it is a tragedy. He is a tragic anti-hero who was controlled, used, betrayed, and had the love of his life taken away. Now this story picks up after the climax of the back-story. He has lost everything and every one who has meant anything to him. He is undead, unneeded and unwanted until now.. at least that is what he thinks.

So keep a look out for further episodes in. I will be uploading them as soon as they are completed.. THERE IS NO SCHEDULE for this series.

Well, I have some good news and some bad news. Bad news first. Cafe press has removed all of my CDs. I do not have them backed up, so.. as a tragic turn of events there are NO Monstamorgue CDs available at this time. I am not sure what I am going to do at this time either.. I am trying to get a copy of Vault of Horror from some one so I can re add it to cafe press.. or at the least make it available for Download here at the site. There are still a couple tracks at MySpace (lol, remember that site?) http://www.myspace.com/officialmonstamorgue

Good news…
I am going forward with “Jimmy Morgue’s Channel 13” very soon now that the first episode of KRO-BIN has been uploaded. “Jimmy Morgue’s Channel 13“ is the first hand account of the gap between KTB web series (which is a prelude) and the Monstamorgue web series. There will be new characters, story, adventure, drama, and cheesy comedy coming soon in the Monstamorgue web-series, but “Jimmy Morgue’s Channel 13″ is more of a .. alt prelude to the series and will be a drama Cinéma vérité “Found Footage” style web series. Look for the first episode this month.

Since the Monstamorgue web series is a spin off that will come after the first season of Kro-Bin The Barbarian, I have decided to go forward with Channel 13. This is a vid-blog series by Jimmy Morgue showcasing his adventures away from the future web show. This will star Jimmy Morgue and Lanore, with new character introductions along with old character cameos.

There are a few things to get in order (money-wise) then you will see an episode pretty soon. Most likely around the same time we upload the teaser episode for Kro-bin.

~Jym

Yes Zombies that is right! Monstamorgue and the new (and some old) characters will be part of a spin off from the Kro-Bin the Barbarian web series. I don’t want to give away too much but as the production gets easier and more time comes available for filming we will see the new MM story unfold on the “My Boring Life Productions” network!  MBL will also have a few other programs like ZOMBIEMAN,  Flameblaze, Channel 13, and The Vampire Pickle!

Right now MBL is only on youtube but we will be launching a site in the near future! Stay tuned to this site and the Kro-Bin site for up to date info on the production and release dates! If you are in our area and want to get involved please email me (jymevans @ gmail.com)

Here is my first screen test to see how the mask looks on film… I am using it for an intro to the website .. It is kind of a sneak peak of things to come for the channel.

So I decided to get the ball rolling and start a broadcast channel … you guessed it .. “Channel 13″. I will be doing several topics including covering silly sci-fi/horror movie reviews and music info.

I will be going over story elements including character developments and such. and answering any questions you might have.. I started a Monstamorgue Youtube Channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/monstamorgue

I will be filming the first episode this weekend and hopefully posting it. I will keep you posted!

THE NEW CHAPTER in the MONSTAMORGUE story is almost here!

Greetings from beyond the grave, this is Jimmy Morgue. I just wanted to tell all you zombies out there that I am making this new site! It might take a while but here it is…

Oh and My rotten Zombie monster brain goofed up when registering and I accidentally registered monstamorgue.com under a different account, so I am going with monstamorgue.net for now

Please be patient and I will have the site done soon. Until then please visit our old MySpace site! http://www.myspace.com/officialmonstamorgue

I am in the writing phase of a new CD that will be available for the 10th anniversary of MONSTAMORGUE in 2012!!
