Prison for Kids is an American rock band founded by César Ochoa and Christopher Dreisbach in 2008. Drummer Keith Krey became an official member in 2014, although he played and recorded with the band before that, but left the band in late 2017. The band is based in Los Angeles, California, where they met, recorded, and have given numerous live shows. Prison for Kids plays a very wide range of forms of Rock, including Post-Punk, Garage Rock, Acoustic/Indie, Ambient/Experimental, Shoegaze, and Noise Pop. César and Chris have distinctive voices and writing styles. While every song is a collaboration between all band members, usually the main writer of each song is also its main singer.

Chris and César are primarily guitarists and vocalists. However, their early recordings feature the founders playing other instruments, with César credited for playing bass and keyboards, and Chris playing drums, percussions, synths, and the trumpet. Their full recording and live lineup changed constantly since their inception until 2014, when Keith became an official member. From 2011 to the present, Prison for Kids has played with three bass players: Michael Cameron (of Waterlaso), Andrew Behjatnia (of Chameleon Conductor, Persian mega-star Andy, many others), and Nick Cullen (also of Waterlaso). All Prison for Kids works has also been written and arranged by Chris and César. Owen Granich-Young is the band's guru and producer, and he has mixed most of their material. Aida Daneshvar has taken most of the band's pictures, including those used on this page. Aida has also been involved in some of the band's music videos.

On the band's name

Chris told in this interview that it came to him in the summer of 2005:

I had just finished a long, hot day stripping moldy wallpaper from dorm rooms at Hampshire College. I was about two beers deep and watching a local news report on TV when I heard a reporter use the phrase "prison for kids." It sounded so weird to me; the lack of euphemism. Not "Juvenile Detention Center" but "Prison for Kids." I didn't even meet César for another three years but I knew, at that moment, that "Prison for Kids" was the band name.

César has also told me that he likes that it can be interpreted in so many ways, it has a different meaning for every person. In this interview he elaborated:

For me it means a lot of things now [...] I always just think, in any situation, people are all trapped. Whether it's the earth, where it's the city, your job or your life. In the end, everything's just a prison and we're all kids. We don't know what we're doing. When I was growing up I was thrown in juvenile prison in Mexico a bunch of times, just for drinking and being stupid. So for me it comes back to this idea of being trapped by forces that you don't see necessarily.

Their biography, in their words

On 2014-06-05 I ripped these awesome lines from their Facebook page:

Prison for Kids is the art-rock duo of Christopher Dreisbach and César Ochoa hailing from, arguably, the least dangerous town (St. Johnsbury, Vermont) and most dangerous city (Ciudad Juarez) respectively. The two met as directing graduate students at the American Film Institute Conservatory in 2008 and quickly united over their mutual passion for both the caustic, dissonant and delicate, ethereal spectrums of rock 'n' roll.

After recording dozens of lo-fi demos with cheap acoustic guitars and kitchen utensils the Kids' first "proper" sessions came in 2010, tracking songs for Ochoa's short film KILL KITTY KILL. Now ensconced in Los Angeles, Prison for Kids continue to evolve their old material, forge new sounds, and perfect their boisterous live show.

Before Prison for Kids

César Ochoa was born in El Paso, Texas, USA, but he was raised in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México. He has been playing guitar and bass since middle school. In his free time, he made a dozen short films between 2004 and 2006, all but the first of which feature a soundtrack of his own creation. He graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso on 2007, with a degree in Electronic Media and a minor in Film Studies.

Christopher Dreisbach was raised in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, USA. He studied Film and Studio Arts at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, where he became a friend and collaborator with Prison for Kids' future producer Owen Granich-Young. They formed OCD Films in 2004 and created many short films, including the award-winning The Nightingale Princess. He was part of a few amateur bands before Prison for Kids, including St. Johnsbury's first Post-Rock band mrepicfactory, whose members (Ben Boye, Clifton Ingram, and Connor Long) went on to form careers in avant-garde and experimental music.

Keith Krey is a career rock, pop, and jazz drummer based in Los Angeles, California. He has been playing the drums since age three, and has been performing with bands since grade school. Notably, he recently played with Waterlaso. Keith also attended a year at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. Keith met César and Chris through Aida.

2008 to 2010 - American Film Institute, band foundation

2008_AfiCards.jpg

César and Chris met in the fall of 2008 when both started studying directing at the American Film Institute (AFI), in Los Angeles, California. Their mutual interest in music got them playing together, and they started recording demos in 2009.

César directed and cowrote the short film Kill Kitty Kill (IMDB), in 2010 for his thesis at the AFI. The soundtrack of this short film consisted entirely of Prison for Kids material, which later became part of their Kitty EP (released in 2013).

Chris directed the science-fiction short Paracusia, which featured a score by his former mrepicfactory band mates.

César and Chris obtained their Masters of Fine Arts in film directing in the summer of 2010.

2011 to 2013 - First EPs

Prison for Kids started recording home-studio versions of many tracks as early as 2011, almost all of which would not be released until 2013 and 2014. The band's first released song was the acoustic Long Gone in March 2011. A music video for the track followed three months later, produced by the band's AFI classmates. Around the same time they composed the soundtrack for the short film Beau (released 2011-04-28), which was also work of their AFI classmates. Beau was directed by Ari Aster, now famous for directing Hereditary (2018) and Midsommar (2019). In 2011 the band joined Michael Cameron's (of Waterlaso) Mountain Fighting boutique record label. Cameron also engineered the band's "Dirty Numbers" EP and produced the song "Blonde Baby." The band played many live shows around Los Angeles area during this period, at house parties and venues such as The Bootleg, Three Clubs, Los Globos, Ham & Eggs Tavern, Lot 1, and Space 1520. Some of the tracks released during this time were accompanied by music videos, as detailed below.

2014 - Swill Purl

2014-06-06_SwillPurl.jpg

The band's first full-length album, "Swill Purl" (meaning "swill" [n], kitchen refuse and scraps of waste food mixed with water for feeding to pigs, and "purl" [n], to flow with a murmuring sound), was released on 2014-06-06 on bandcamp. The whole album was reposted on 2015-01-25 on YouTube. The band tagged it as "alternative, rock, avant indie, experimental rock, indie rock, post-punk, post-rock". The liner notes include the following description.

Our new album, Swill Purl, was born from César's sinuous acoustic guitar demos and overall disgust with partisan politics both above and below the Rio Grande. Over the course of several months, and with the aid of Chris and Keith, these demos blossomed into strange, bold, sometimes delicate songs.

2019 - Dead Kingdom EP

2019-06-28_dead_kingdom.jpg

César and Chris traveled from LA to Chicago, supported by an Indiegogo campaign, to record with legendary musician and engineer Steve Albini at his studio, Electrical Audio. César and Chris had thoroughly rehearsed the material as a duo. Chris played all drums, César all guitars, and both alternated playing bass and vocals. All of the material was recorded on a single day on 2018-10-16, every track recorded in one take, and there was a single cut during the mixing.

This recording was pressed into a 45 RPM vinyl, the band's first, in an edition of 500. The EP was released on 2019-06-28 at a release party at the 5 Star Bar, and became available on bandcamp on 2019-07-15.

This is somewhat of a promotional article, so not exactly Wikipedia material in that sense and others that follow. The author, Alex, is César's brother, so this article is biased. I also hereby disclose my financial interest in their success (César owes me money). This article is based on my own knowledge of the band and some freely-available online data, and fact-checked by the band in personal communications. Chris contributed some writing.
