Ideamen

Biography
Beginnings (2006-2009)
Ideamen was created in late 2006 shortly after keyboardist Tim Swanson ended his short stint as keyboardist for Dog Fashion Disco and the teamed up with vocalist Dave Solar and bassist Mark Vasquez, following the dissolution of local Chicago-area bands Duct Tape Mustache and Solvasq. Guitarist Dan Figurell and drummer Phil Goodrich rounded out the lineup, and in 2007, the band debuted with the release of their EP Progress. The EP attracted the label Rotten Records (of whom Dog Fashion Disco was signed to when they dissolved), and Rotten signed Ideamen in 2008.

In August 2008, Ideamen began working on their debut album. Their debut album, titled May You Live in Interesting Times, was released on October 27, 2009 on Rotten Records. A second guitarist, Phil Miller, joined the band in time for touring in October 2010. Throughout the next two years, the band toured with the likes of Polkadot Cadaver (which contains former fellow DFD members), Look What I Did, and Tub Ring.

The Big Crash
by: Eddie MoneyWell she`s always been a good good girl
But she`s always lived in her own world
Stealing makeup from her mommy`s purse
And her mother said it only got worse
Well she ran with kids much older
She did all the things they told her to do
Doin` crazy things because they were in
(chorus)
Now she's heading for the big crash
She`s running with the white trash
The girl is moving too fast
She`s heading for the big crash
The big crash, the big crash
Well I wish she`d listen to me
And I`d tell her `bout the things that she doesn`t see
Tell her now before it gets too late
That she`s heading for the big crash
(chorus)
She thinks that she`s all grown up now
She thinks that she`s cool enough now
When will she realize that they`re cutting her down to size
The big crash
The girls moving too fast-heading for the big crash
Goin` places where she shouldn`t have been
Doin` crazy things because they were in
