i haven't heard any news for a while and they had no gig for a long time (as it says on their website). does anyone know whats up?
The concept of that band was songwriting collaboration between Ryen, Jose and Nate... Their bass player quit, then Ryen and Jose left to reform Ozma, which presumably took the wind out of Nate's sails a bit.
i also think nate is busy with (the elected?)

Some other members joined to make it a full band again.

yep... thats why i'm asking.
Nate plays with the Elected and, I think, the Seeds. Miah teaches drums and guitars. That's all I know about, but they probably have gotten real jobs and/or are in university, so that probably takes up quite a bit of their time.

Yeah, and also...what happened to the other Asian guy that was in it at first? Forgot his name. He played bass.
Also, while a couple other members joined to make it a full band again, they didn't really do anything, or record anything. But as for it being a Nate/Ryen/Jose writing trio....I honestly think that Nate made that band. His written songs were the best, in my opinion.
nope, that band was LIKE TOTALLY ryens. Give Me The End was the best yes dear song, hence written by ryen. although i believe nate and ryens styles meshed very well.
I'd have to agree with Fantastic Sam, I think Yes Dear was more Nate than Ryen. Ryen and Jose's personal styles definately contributed to the sound though.
I liked Yes Dear just fine, but I always heard a clear separation between Ryen and Nate's writing style. I think in time they could have developed a chemistry that would have really tied the project together, and I think their later songs suggest that, but they never really had time to get that far. I think Ryen wrote some decent stuff for Yes Dear, but I actually tend to prefer Nate's, which is odd, because Arlo bores me to tears.
Now we all know about the 12 songs for download off of their website. However, does anybody else have the songs: Big Mistake, the Good Life, I don't Like You, Me and Zeke, or Motorhead? As well as: Death's Pretty Young Wife, Sad Little Chick, MollyB, Rosalie, and Sparks? Oh, and I put the lists separately because I am unsure of whether or not the latter list are Yes Dear demos, or Nate's own demos.

Hence? Are you using that in the right context?

i have never heard of any of those. have you heard them? if yes, when/how?
I' really tempted to tell you that no, I haven't heard of those songs before.
The story is that accidentally found Nate Greeley on Soulseek, while looking for some Get Set Go. After browsing his files, I noticed he had some personal demos, Yes Dear demos, and one Arlo demo. I then downloaded all of them. I asked him through soulseek and myspace if it was ok to share them with other people, but i never have got an answer. it's been awhile since I've asked, but I don't want to bug the guy.

If I were you, I'd sit on them. Though it's his own fault for sharing things on soulseek, it seems a little sketchy to be sharing things you found like that unless you have permission.
i would advise you to share the yesdear songs.
Hey, I'd like to hear them too! All I'm saying is that just because he was sharing them on his computer doesn't mean he necessarily mean that he wanted them heard. I have no idea how his computer is set up, but it may have been a complete accident on his part that these ended up in a folder on his computer that wound up being shared. And yeah, that would still make it his fault that other people managed to get them, but something about the whole thing just sits wrong with me. If he had put these on a CD or uploaded them somewhere or sent them to fans, that would be one thing, it would suggest that he wants them heard. To me, however, a person's computer is just about as personal as a thing can be. I think distributing things you've gotten off his computer like that is a little bit unethical. It's like reading somebody's diary: just because it's left in the open doesn't mean you should scan the pages and put it online.
I know, that's why i haven't shared them.
I'm not saying I blame you for downloading them either. That's why I used the analogy I did:

But of COURSE you're going to read it. Duh.
oh just share them. don't buy into jason's self rightous banter.
so.... what's Nates soulseek name?

well, for the record, i don't think self-righteous is really the word I'd use. i'd download them in a second if they were put online. I'm just saying, it's somewhat unethical in my opinion. If I were Nate, I'd be pissed.
well correct me if im wrong (which most likely i am)
but isnt the fact that he has the songs on soulseek mean that hes making them somewhat public?
I don't think he meant to put them on soulseek, he just added his whole music folder to the shared files list. It's easier than adding every folder than the three which I found.
Also, I'm not going to post his username on here, I don't think it's my duty to announce his personal details here. Not that it would change much if I did post his name, he hasn't been online forever.
alright, you dont have to... *cough* PM *cough*
fine
From Nate Greely regarding the demos via myspace message:
Quotehmm. those were not supposed to be heard. it's ok i guess but mollyb is kind of a joke song birthday present for someone, so id rather not post that one. thanks for asking at least.
so there is only one song he doesnt want posted woo hoo!!!
Read the very first thing he says after "hmm."
If he wanted them posted, he would have provided links to them himself.
they were not supposed to be heard..."but it's ok" that they are. i think they are all fair game besides mollyb.
i know it probably doesn't mean much to say this around here....but i'm with "i like ozma" on this one.
Well, he probably doesn't want to be a prick about it and make a fuss. Still doesn't mean he's crazy about it.

well, makes sense though, doesn't it? seems a bit more rational than the sense of entitlement that some people seem to have.
Well, I put the songs Big Mistake, Can't Say No, death's pretty young wife, I don't Like You, little sad chick, me and zeke, motorhead, rosalie, sparks, the good life, as well as and interview, and the interview's intro into the repository. hope you enjoy.
