Temporal parting

We will be hiding out temporarily for the next few months, finishing recordings, changing the lineup, adding members, having summer backyard parties, hikes, road trips, etc. We will continue to post music on the blog in the meantime.

Above is an explosive performance of the song "Genetic Engineering" by one of my favorite bands, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. I rediscovered the album Dazzle Ships last year and have been obsessing over it more and more as time goes on. It's become detrimental to my health.

Night Of The Hunter

Back in August of 2007, our good friend Vincent Reyes from the band Friends in the Mountains briefly joined Deathday Party on drums. We quickly began working on songs but unfortunately only played one show. I think it happened somewhere in Pomona with Halloween Swim Team. Here is a taste of what could have been or what can happen in the future...

Apparently, even Mitchell Brown might be performing. It looks like it's going to be an amazing and busy night!

Old Sasscer Park demos

These are songs I recorded in late 2002. They are a bit old.

Things to do when you're young

EP I | Dead Twin - Moaning The Death Blues

Moaning The Death Blues | EP I

These performances were committed to hard disc between July and October of 2005, since then they have been sitting on a wooden shelf collecting dust. Though they are incomplete, I am putting them out because i don't have any intentions of finishing them. For the most part, these were improvisations or basic ideas for songs. They're rough but that seems to be what i'm enjoying about them

You can download them here.

This is the first EP in a series of three, EPs II and II will be posted within the next few weeks.

Virtual 7" | Dead Twin - Improvisations

Improvisations | Virtual 7"

I'm cleaning out the vaults before I start putting up new material.

These improvisations were recorded straight to a RadioShack cassette recorder in December of 2004 right before I left to England and France.

They were a result of nervous breakdown.
