Empire Rocket Machine (ERM) is a Portland, Ore. bred and based rock band. Jon and Kenny met at a bar in NE Portland. They began playing music to jam and to support Kenny's pet project "Rock Against Alzheimer's" (RAA). Piotr and Kevin were brought in to the mix to support playing RAA and to jam out some new tunes.
Very quickly a set list developed and ERM took off playing initial shows at Roscoe's Pub and BC's. Soon after, the band was asked to play sets at Tonic Lounge, Dante's and The Knife Shop. ERM played an acoustic set at Slim's Cocktail Lounge as well.
More recently ERM has been seen rocking out at Someday Lounge, live via webstream and archived on www.stagedive.com (thanks to the generous work by Jesse ****), and the Red Room.
