Biography
See Emily Pray is a band from Portland, Oregon. They came together in 2006 with original band members of Christian Perales (on guitar), Don Schrieber (on guitar), Mary-Suzanne Lamkins (on bass), M'liss (on drums) and Zoya (on vocals).
Early in the summer of 2006, Zoya announced that she would be leaving the band to go back home to Russia. See Emily Pray started the search for a new vocalist where they found Tina Woods, fresh to Portland after moving to Oregon from Saipan. Tina's veteran vocals brought a new sound to the band. The band began to take on a theme of broken dollies, anti-religion, political satire. They started to develop a generous following in the Portland, Oregon area.
In early 2007, due to creative differences, M'liss took her leave from the band. See Emily Pray began the search for a new drummer and found a new resident to the Portland area. Zack brought balance to the sound and the band was doing better than ever. However, tensions were beginning to rise between two friends in the band and by mid-summer, Tina and Christian bowed out of the band, thusly, breaking up the band.
Don and Zack began looking for new bands to play with, as well as Mary-Suzanne. Christian and Tina went on to start a band called Necro Dolly and the Jesus Death Machine (which is no longer together) and eventually invited Don and Zack back to join NDJDM.
