Death of the Author Brigade – Exclusive Interview!

Photobucket

The world’s best Internet Band (Death of the Author Brigade) has been interviewed on Hrsvijet.net! If you speak Croatian, then that would come in real handy, as the whole thing has words with 17 syllables in them. If you don't speak Croatian, it also contains a few pictures of the band and three of their videos. (By the way, there’s a brand new video coming up in the New Year, so stay tuned!)

The Interview is Here:

Plus!!! I’m featuring two of their songs!

One Thing I Do Know – I really like the way this turned out. It has kind of a jazzy feel, thanks to Max’s guitar and Mike’s walking bass. Aaron adds some nice organ and Dave’s drums really hold the thing together.

When Your Were Mine - This really came out nicely. From Daniel's opening guitar to Jeff and Daniel's harmonies, it just has a great feel. This song was a one-hour wonder in the writing. The band makes it sound like a million bucks. I'm a very lucky guy to be involved with this group of uber-talented musicians.

Don’t Tell Betsy’s sister band (Death of the Author Brigade) was formed on the internet about two and a half years ago. Since then, this far flung talented group has recorded some great tracks together. It’s been quite an amazing experience, writing songs in my dim little office and then sending them around the world to be turned into music. Both my beloved bands have kept me sane over the last few years and I’m eternally grateful to them. Don’t Tell Betsy has a new single coming out soon. (so be prepared)
Death of the Author Brigade has a brand new video about to go before the cameras. I’m really looking forward to seeing the ever graceful Kat actually dancing to music I wrote.
I’m including two Death of the Author Brigade songs here. One is sung by Kat and one is sung by Jeff.
And brace yourself, there is going to be a lot more coming from both of these bands!

Bad Man Now – This is change of pace song for the band. I wrote it a couple of years ago and then it sat around for quite a while. I thought this was going to be a hard song to get right but it really came together nicely. From Aaron’s haunting piano to Dave’s spare drumming, it really keeps the mood. Max does a great job playing his sizzling lead around the keyboards. Mike's sliding bass work adds just the right touch. Then it all went off to Canada for Jeff’s dazzling vocals. He sings it so well, you'll want to arrest him or shoot him on the spot. It was then mixed to perfection in Daniel’s Minnesota stronghold.

Things That Won’t Go Away – People who know me, know that I’m an unabashed fan of the Sapphic arts. This song explores the quandary a young woman, who likes other women, has in procuring women who aren't necessarily into other women. The band really rose to the occasion on this tune. Aaron even got out his accordion for the beginning! Kat was a real sport in recording the song and sings it with her tongue firmly in another girl’s cheek. (I kid) There’s some nifty pickin’ by Max, while Dave and Mike keep in swinging along. Daniel adds guitars, mixing and God knows what else. I couldn’t be happier with it.
