A little bedtime story...
Late summer morning 2005, I woke up in Austin to the familiar smell of amphetamine smoke billowing from the garage. The half-sane chatter of children awake for days bouncing off concrete and wine-stained carpet, echoing the tired intentions we’d left scattered across a West Texas desert long ago, and I knew it was time to make my break. Never quite the saint myself, I packed a bag full of half-burnt candles and a beat up black guitar, then quietly slipped out the back door with the girl with hope in her green eyes. The next time I awoke, I was in New York City...
A series of happy accidents later, there was a band called Deadbeat Darling. First, I was waiting on some mediocre Americana singer to lull me to sleep somewhere on the Lower East Side at quarter past eleven, when I happened upon a kid in a Brazil footballer jacket playing drums. Looks and sounds the part I suppose, so after a bit of cat and mouse cyber-stalking I convinced Alex to join the circus. Gladly... Next I’m stumbling through an underground West Village club, a few Jamesons and joints down the road when I felt compelled to spew to a stranger at the bar that he was a “pillar of greatness†- a proclamation that must have set him wondering about the long-haired white kid with Scotch on his breath. Not much later Sanjay would find himself stacking bedroom electronica on top of dub bass lines on top of silk-skinned promises with his new deadbeat lovers. Flattery will get you everything. And finally, over bottles of cold sake and lines of bullshit about soundscapes with a sweet-tempered, Brooklyn boy named Mohit, I was nearly convinced that we’d found another willing participant in our little urban sideshow. But really, who was interviewing who? After another bottle and a little bite of the moon, it hardly seemed to matter...
Deadbeat Darling is a band living in New York City. Equal parts mischief and bliss, eloquence and irreverence, they have built an eclectic and inspired following solely upon word of mouth. Barely a year after the release of their debut EP "belle epoch" in late 2007, Deadbeat Darling has drawn capacity crowds to venues including Mercury Lounge and Galapagos, and ended the summer of 2008 with consecutive shows at Bowery Ballroom. They are set to release their new EP,"Weight of Wandering" in February of 2009, followed by tours of the East Coast and Texas, and wherever else they are welcomed...
