By way of Brisbane, Sydney, NYC and B’more, they’re traveling hobos of the best kind. They’ve been blogged into oblivion, and rightfully so. The Death Set’s sound graduated first class from the Dan Deacon school of kicking ass and taking names – the excess was collected and crushed under a distortion pedal then locked up in an abandoned mental asylum overnight. They’ve filtered the shivering remains through overproof vodka, collected the vapors and smoked it with a crack pipe. Then they blew the smoke onto it all on a shiny CD, and you can buy that CD – titled ‘Worldwide’ – right now, courtesy of Counter Record/Ninja Tunes. And Inertia. We love you too. This is electro-punk taken back to its essence – stripped back, loud and totally demented.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Johnny Siera from The Death Set a while ago – they’ve worked hard and deserve your full attention. I learned some things from Johnny, so sit down and shut-up. And no you can’t go to the bathroom, you should have done that at lunchtime.
*The Death Set left Brisbane because it is full of old people. You hear that Brisbane? Hurry up and copulate.
*Johnny’s favourite track from Worldwide is Negative Thinking. Mine too. Wow! Best mates!
*The Death Set is not to be confused with a ‘death sect’ – Johnny has no plans to die or be dead in the near future. Watch that ‘c’..
*Don’t call them a DIY band, because that is a misnomer and it makes Johnny cranky. They just like to party.
*I’ve been pronouncing Bonde do Role wrong for a very long time – Johnny would know. The Death Set are currently touring with Bonde and they would probably also know.
* The rental market in Baltimore is very affordable.
Go catch one of their gigs. These guys will merrily blow your face off, and you’ll thank them for the privilege. Music? Yes, music.
