About Me

Deleted Scenes is a four-piece indie rock band living in DC and Brooklyn, NY. We met as kids growing up in Olney, MD and Gaithersburg, MD and have been playing together under various guises ever since. The songwriting is a collaboration between Dan (guitar/vocals) and Fatty (bass/anything-he-can-pick-up). In 2005 we recorded a four-song EP with Billy Gordon in Baltimore which featured songs Dan wrote at the end of college, and which Fatty helped hone and arrange with vibraphone, trumpet, organ, and piano. Throughout the year that stretched across 2007 and 2008, we toured the country, and recorded a full-length record with J. Robbins (Burning Airlines) and L. Skell (the Rude Staircase). The resulting album is a diverse, propulsive, and deeply personal set of songs called Birdseed Shirt. It is named after a passage in Jonathan Safran-Foer's novel, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. We are still finalizing plans for release and distribution.

Your contribution will let us buy cables that don't cut out, new blank tshirts and silkscreens, and gas for the van. It's not terrible to have artwork and lyrics printed out in booklets either, or good-sounding audio files.
