The Ded Fish
I am egg man... they are the egg men... I am The Ded Fish... in a nutshell, it's all me. my instruments, my recording junk. I write the tunes and record them myself with click-tracks on GarageBand.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
the little helper-text thingy says "you can copy infos like your band history from your site and simply paste it here" well guess what.. this is my band site.
anyway, band history? hmmm, well I was born on April 16, 1989, lived in Illinois my entire life, I like starwars, mountainboards, and pistachios. I've been writing and recording music since May 2005. there's your band history.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I am a one man band... I use click tracks to record... live performance would be nothing short of impossible.
Your musical influences
hmm, well, I was influenced by the beatpickers... and Ben Schreiber... and cake, beck, the gorillaz, thievery corp... those are the big ones.
