RC Artist/Musician/Filmmaker Ronnie Cramer has been active in the arts community for over twenty-five years. His paintings have been exhibited in galleries and other venues across the country (including over forty shows in 2003-04 alone), his music has achieved airplay on over 100 radio stations nationwide and his critically-acclaimed films have been screened at festivals around the world and sold thousands of copies on videocassette and DVD.

Alarming Trends Cramer founded the musical group Alarming Trends and served and the bands' guitarist and primary songwriter. The Trends' musical history spans three decades; they played live gigs throughout Colorado (and across the U.S.) during the 1980s, recorded several film scores during the 1990s, and in 2001 had a Number One song on MP3.com.

Ronnie Cramer Cramer's solo musical works have also been featured on MP3.com and have been played and/or downloaded over 500,000 times. Several of his songs have appeared on the charts (including the Number One spot on the Experimental/Post Rock chart) and have been included in a number of anthologies and compilations.

In addition to releasing numerous studio recordings, Cramer has appeared live at the top area venues, including the Mercury Cafe, Herman's Hideaway, Rock Island, Boulder's Blue Note, as well as performing shows at Mabuhay Gardens in San Francisco and at legendary New York clubs CBGB and The Bitter End. He continues to perform concerts of his solo electronic music throughout North America.

Cramer directed a series of music videos for Alarming Trends that were shown regularly on KBDI's 'Teletunes' and were featured on similar programs across the U.S., including 'Ground Zero Video,' 'Music Link' and MTV's '120 Minutes.'

Back Street Jane His first feature film, the crime drama Back Street Jane, was screened at the Angelika Film Center in New York City and was favorably compared to Stanley Kubrick's The Killing and John Huston's The Asphalt Jungle by Psychotronic Magazine. Exploitation Journal praised the film in its pages and singled out the score (written by Cramer and performed by Alarming Trends) as 'excellent.'

Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend Cramer's black comedy Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend became a cult classic and was cited as 'the best drive-in movie of the year' by film critic Joe Bob Briggs, who also called Cramer 'an inspired demento who's made some of the finest underground films of this century.' Cult Movies and Blue Ryder both called Even Hitler 'hilarious,' Adult Video News described it as 'inspired,' and Westword termed the film 'vicious, subversive satire.' It also spawned a successful sequel: The Hitler Tapes.

Highway Amazon Highway Amazon, Ronnie's first documentary film, won two Aurora Awards and was named Best Documentary - Experimental Genre at the New York International Independent Film Festival. Westword called Highway Amazon 'outrageously weird and funny' and it was named Best Documentary at the Miami Short Film Festival. Highway Amazon has been screened at many other festivals around the world and was one of ten films selected for the 2003 Colorado Film Biennial at the Starz Center in Denver.

Ronnie's recent art film A Moment in Time won a 2005 Telly Award for Cultural Documentary. His films have been screened at many venues in the USA and abroad, including:

    Bands on the run: Alarming Trends is busy with the creative end of music-making. The band spent a week in mid-April recording ten new songs at Freereelin' Studios, and then spent last weekend filming videos under the direction of the 'Rick Rock Show's Randy Hayes. The current lineup for the band: Ronnie Cramer on guitar, Rebecca Watson on vocals, Michael Benson on bass and Lonnie Ray on drums. The next Alarming Trends live set is planned for May 9 at the Taste of Denver. - Gil Asakawa

That makes the Trends one of the most prolific and creative bands working on the local scene. They've released singles, cassettes, a long form video and more without even stopping for a breath. - Gil Asakawa

The tape's six songs were recorded at local studios, and include the titles 'White Cross,' 'Some People,' 'I Wonder Why,' 'Fever Dreams.' 'Rude Seduction' and 'Fabrications,' The other band members are Rebecca Watson on vocals, Michael Benson on bass and Lonnie Ray on drums.

    Front Row

    Alarming Trends have released a new six song cassette along with two accompanying videos.

    Visually, the videos have nothing in common with the songs, but Trends' lead guitarist Ronnie Cramer says that is intentional.

    'I strive not to do that. You've seen all the MTV videos and it seems like 90% are acting out all the words to the songs which to me seems kind of corny and annoying. It just doesn't interest me to sing a lyric and show it, it's redundant. I'd rather do something different to hold up the visual end.'

    Both the videos are animated and Cramer did al the animation, editing and directing.

    'I do them at my house on the kitchen table' says Cramer. 'I built this animation stand out of wood and glass. It's done by cutting out photos and putting them in between two sheets of glass and moving them.'

    Each video took about four weeks working strictly nights, and the results can be seen on the Rick Rock Show.

    The video for 'White Cross' is the most interesting, particularly a scene where a guy throws a fish at another guy and decapitates him by doing so. Definitely alarming. Hopefully not a trend.

    Ronnie Cramer writes the music and lyrics but he cannot decide whether to go rock-pop or more punk so he plays on both. With Rebecca Watson's smooth, silky voice, the band can head for commercialism, but songs like 'White Cross' and 'Rude Seduction' jar us right to the edge of early punk. - Azian

    Alarming news: Denver band Alarming Trends played the Taste of Denver nightclub last weekend, as a return date from a series of out-of-town tours. The band headlined a four-group show at San Francisco's groundbreaking Mabuhay Gardens; the concert was simulcast for a Berkeley radio station. Alarming Trends also filmed a video at the Golden Gate Bridge.

    Loop-de-Loop: Dan Kenney, former lead guitarist (some would say signature sound) for the Aviators, is recruiting band members for a new local project. The band's called Strange Loop, and the music promises to have a slight R&B edge to it. That makes sense, since his input as songwriter for the Aviators always boasted a slinky funky sound. Kenney left his old band in L.A. to return to Denver; he's just not the leave-home kinda guy. - Gil Asakawa

    Making music for the market (cover story)

    Talent doesn't pay the rent. At least not in the music business. Marketing is as important to a band's success as songwriting and performing. Most local bands 'never get out of the basement,' Ronnie Cramer said.

    Cramer is the guitarist, songwriter and video director for the Denver-based band Alarming Trends. Creative concerns aside, Cramer is also the band's manager and spends much of his time selling the band. With an album, an EP and three videos behind it, Alarming Trends is in a position to approach radio stations and record companies. Getting airplay is difficult, but KTCL, KBCO and KGNU have broadcast the band's songs. Cramer has contacted various record companies and said he has had some positive responses. Cramer has had success marketing Alarming Trends' videos, which will be seen on the USA network program 'Night Flight,' a station carried on cable in Fort Collins.

    Until someone decides Alarming Trends has a place on the national music scene, there is the everyday business of being a band. The band rehearses in the basement of a mask shop, which Cramer said 'is about this big,' forming a three-inch square with his hands.

    Typically the band makes $250 to $500 a night, figures that necessitate day jobs for all the members. Cramer, who has a degree in communications from Denver University, makes television commercials. Drummer Lonnie Ray refers to his daytime profession as 'garbology,' which is something like a sanitation engineer.

    Alarming Trends doesn't have much trouble staying busy at night either. The band plays regularly in Denver and mad an appearance in san Francisco in August. 'We don't mind road trips,' Cramer said, an attitude that brought the band to Fort Collins early in August. - Collene Enck

    Just another Alarming night

    Ronnie Cramer looked hesitant. 'What do you think, are these people going to hate us?' he asked, looking around at the cocktail consumers gathered in the Laughing Dog Saloon. Cramer and the other members of Denver's Alarming Trends were waiting for the band's vocalist Rebecca Watson to arrive.

    'I can see people filtering out of here as soon as we start,' drummer Lonnie Ray said. 'We're loud,' he said, although the management had warned them against hitting a high decibel level. Cramer was keeping an eye out for friends who were coming from Denver to see the band's first appearance in Fort Collins, the entertainment Mecca of northern Colorado. Some local fans were also on their way.

    By the time the band started, the crowd looked ready for live music, although it had no idea what to expect from Alarming Trends. That was alright though, Alarming Trends didn't know what to expect either. The first song let the crowd know it was listening to a new music band that plays original material. The second song let the band know it was playing for a crowd that had other musical ideas in mind. Enthusiastic calls for ZZ Top and Led Zeppelin were as loud as they were frequent.

    'We play a lot of original stuff, but sometimes we sneak in one written by somebody else,' Trends announced, following with an 80s version of Patsy Cline's 'I Fall to Pieces.' The crowd didn't filter out, but they remained unimpressed with Alarming Trends impressive sound. Three weeks later, the band was having a much better evening, playing in a Denver club where its sound is familiar and welcome. It doesn't look much different from the Laughing Dog Saloon, but the crowd prefers Alarming Trends to ZZ Top. - Collene Enck

    Alarming Trends Extended Play (cassette)
    On the front of Extended Play is a photo of a young people's marching orchestra. Inside is the music of Alarming Trends - in this case, cover and contents have nothing in common. The quartet plays dark, driving, at times menacing rock led by Ronnie Cramer's deep, growling guitar. It's music that hits you as hard in the head as it does in the gut. The star talent - and we do mean star - in the group is vocalist Rebecca Watson, who rattles off the words in that sultry but full-of-it tone that the Waitresses' Patty Donahue wielded so well. A band to watch.

    Vusic Express Confidential
    Alarming Trends Extended Play
    A 'Jackpot' pick in the September 26, 1986 CMJ, this band has a lot going for it. First of all there are Rebecca Watson's often blase, throwaway vocals reminiscent of Patty O'Donohue of the Waitresses. She's a singer you'll be hearing a lot from in the future. Next there are the strong songs, written by the group's guitarist, Ronnie Cramer, who pounds unmercifully on his axe throughout the album. And the music? It ain't too bad. As a matter of fact, it's great. Sometimes, it's dark and brooding and makes you want to waste away, but other times, like the super lead off track, 'White Cross,' it's fast and furious; like the soundtrack to a punk surf movie.

    Although Denver sometimes seems like a dead end for original musicians, there are a few exceptions to the rule. Alarming Trends, a band that's been quietly playing the Taste of Denver for the past three years, occasionally releases a video or cassette. College Music Journal heard the band's last release and singled it out for critical acclaim. Yeah, but where do I see them, you ask.

    Alarming Trends 'White Cross' (Scorched Earth) directed by Ronnie Cramer
    You'd never think that a video about a flying fish that decapitates people and a stationary punkish girl spewing out the hook would be as full-bodied as this, but it is. We're not talking sushi, but fish-tossing, and once the fins get on course it's time for a torpedo look-out. These marauders are some of the best things to hit indie video in a long time.
