Hello..
go to www.deafanimalorchestra.net to download a free copy of our new tune, ’An Ape Odyssey’
and seated below is the video for said tune
our name came about because we liked the way the vowel and syllable sounds clashed together. we’re four animal-loving mates who make music. we generally use electric and acoustic guitars, basses, pianos, drums and other percussion, and lots of vocals. our imagination is fuelled by cartoons, noise, cynicism, colours, comedy, coffee and alcohol. and also anything that makes us smile or laugh. we’re motivated by confusion about whether to take life seriously or just fuck it all up and have a buzz. and about whether you should care what people think of you or not. and we always end up just wanting a buzz, and not giving a fuck about anyone. we love what we do, love being alive and love our hometown of waterfjord. musically we’re fans of lots of weird and wonderful rock n roll so thats what we sound like. we get more and more upbeat sounding every day.
various people in the irish media, press and radio alike, like what we do a lot but quotes suck ass so we ain’t listing every nice thing people have said about us. many business oriented people out there would probably tell us "you’re wrong, it’s something you just have to do", but no no no they’re the ones who are wrong. not one person out there cares what some sham journalist from the evening herald or whatever other rag you care to mention thinks. you’re here on our myspace page and if you don’t like our music then no quote in the world is gonna change that. unless maybe if it was from bono. i wonder what bono would say about us actually? if he ever does refer to us, in any context, ill be sure to tell you all. "hello! hello!" "yeah! yeah! yeah! yeah!"
we’re big fans of freedom of speech. being able to say what you want, there’s nothing quite like it. freedom of thought precludes freedom of speech and it’s probably even more important for sanity and general well-being. we hope that doesn’t sound like something a hippie would say though because we think hippies suck. not the people themselves but their politics and world view. we don’t believe the world is as full of bad and evil and greed as they’d have us think. and if you’re constantly mouthing about bad and evil and greed then that’s all you really see. try mouthing about good things. man.
we fully advocate copying and sharing of music. it’s deadly. i’ve heard so much great music i never would have, had friends not burned me up this or that cd. just remember that for small insignificant bands like ourselves we’re on small insignificant budgets and the occasional cd or track sale does help. we don’t want to milk you dry like some other bands out there. we’d just like to end up making enough money to live and keep going at what we’re doing. think of yourself as a patron. you get to patronise us!
