In case you haven't heard, Darwin Deez (the NYC based project of Darwin Smith and friends) will be playing at Soundlab tonight courtesy of After Dark Entertainment. Deez has been making a name for himself for catchy guitar licks and "lyrical wizardry" and at around 8PM the full group will be showcasing their most recent and self-produced album, Songs for Imaginative People. As NME describes "There’s still a sense, at its heart, of a warm, yet slightly neurotic overthinker, sat at a mixing desk in his bedroom, possibly in his big white underpants, and just going wherever the spirit takes him." Joining them tonight will be Caged Animals and Nelson-Type, you can check the event page here. Doors open at 7PM and tickets are $12 at the door. See you there!
I wish I could have gone to this, if only because his album that uses beats sampled from nothing but Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is one of the greatest ideas humans have ever had.
