Sounds Like: Hi. My name is Dirk.
In short: I was born in North Germany, grew up in North New Jersey and play a Maton acoustic. Any more...? Here's the lowdown:I used to play in a band called "The Jeremy Days" who were kinda cool, ...most times. I now run "Tapete Records" in Hamburg with my friend Gunther. A lotta really neat bands/artists are out on tapete including The Horror The Horror, Lacrosse, The Elephants,Maplewood, Downpilot, Salim Nourallah, Tess Wiley, etc. etc. etc. plus my own stuff.
I started tapete mainly cause I was sick of recording for labels that weren’t really listening to the albums their own artists were releasing there (my band was on a major label for 7 years!!)
Right, my albums come out on tapete too. My new one 'Life Is No Movie' is out in March 2009. I'll be heading out to clubs with my guitars and Ukulele starting April. For absolutly more Info head on over to my website, which is: www.dirkdarmstaedter.com
See you there!
