Optional Death Stare
We are Optional Death Stare! Actually theres just one of us, thats me, and my computer. There are a few people who appear on certain tracks but inputs like that are at complete random.
So there's me sitting in a room staring at a computer with a mic set up on one side and a guitar on the other side just spewing nasty distortion and rumbling bass, unlucky for my flat-mates.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Twenty first birthday, congradulations you've got a laptop. yeah thats pretty much it.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
On the odd occassion at special 'house parties' Optional Death Stare will cut it up with good old Traktor, a few bits 'n' pieces and DJ Sofa King throwing out some rapid beats from hippidy hop to D'n'B in our own little way.
