Imagine the early Police, Manu Chao and The Cure collaborating to
write a Quentin Tarantino movie soundtrack. Sprinkle in the energy of
a late 60's feel good anthem, some modern day indie-rock soundscapism,
and you have the ingredients of Brooklyn-based Deadbeat Darling.
The band was founded by singer/guitarist Joseph King, who after 7
years as a respected songwriter and frontman in the Austin music
scene, moved to New York City in October of 2005 to cleanse his
creative palate and begin work in a new musical direction. He found
himself writing songs that reflected his dub and electronica
influences within a rock/pop setting, and inside of 6 months teamed up
with drummer/vocalist Alex Wong, bassist/keyboardist Sanjay Jain, and
guitarist Mohit Bhansali to form Deadbeat Darling. Characterized by Alex’s electronica-influenced drumming, Sanjay’s and Mo’s synth and tremolo-fueled soundscapes, and King’s gravely vocals, the band creates a sound that is sensual, moody and pulsing with positive vibration. Live, the energy and charisma is nothing short of contagious, and even within the easily compartmentalized and self-defining indie rock scenes of New York, continues to draw an increasingly diverse fanbase that defies genre and stereotype.
Deadbeat Darling has been playing select dates throughout New York
City, packing clubs in the Lower East Side and Brooklyn that include Mercury Lounge, Piano’s and Galapagos. DBD has recently finished its debut release with producer/engineer Chris Coady (TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blonde Redhead). The 4 song EP, titled "belle epoch", was released in October to a warm reception from their buzzing
fanbase....
