Ever since Alone broke up in 2002, I have been searching for any kind of information about what Steve Ripley has been up to. But I cannot find anything. Well, I found a MySpace page of some band and in their "About Me" section it says they recorded some songs "with local legend Steve Ripley." And that band is from Davenport, IA. Other than that, I have literally found zero info on Steve as to what he's been up to since the demise of Alone. What's really strange to me is that I have asked that band that I found on MySpace and a number of people who should know something if they have info about Steve and no one will answer. To me, that is really odd. And I'm somewhat mystified why everyone is so secretive about him. I can totally understand if he isn't making music anymore and wants to "not be found." But why can't these people that I've asked just say that?! No, they choose to remain silent. There has to be a reason for it. Of course I have my own theories. I've met him a few times at shows but it's not like I know him. The reason I'm trying to get up to date info on him is because I think he is an amazing guitarist! I'm a fan! I still listen to the Yeah Right and Alone cd's and I think Steve is an awesome musician. I had his e-mail address but it's no longer active. Well, I was told it was his e-mail address but who knows. Everytime I think I may be on the trail to finding him it turns ou to be a dead end. It's really frustrating to search for endless hours and hours for eight years (since 2002) and to come up with NOTHING!! As irritating and frustrating as it is, I will keep searching. Some how, some way I will find out what is going on with him.
