DEATH TO MING!!! Was started in February of 2007 by Liam Flanagan and Nick Closson. They would write and record one song in one night and put it up on myspace for all to hear. As the songs became more complicated guest's/friends where invited to help out. Two of them, Jeff Ferrier, and Joey Ficken, Soon Became regular Members of the band. After writing and recording over 50 songs the boys decided it was time to start playing out and set about the task of relearning 8 or 9 songs for a live set. they have recently played at the hawthorne theater, Satyricon and the Ash Street Saloon. this Coming summer DEATH TO MING!!! Plans to rerecord 12 to 13 songs for a full length album. thanks For your support, and please come out and see us some time. oh and one more thing...
DEATH TO MING!!!
here is what the portland mercury had to say. is this a bad revue?
The original impetus of Death to Ming!!! was to write and record a song or two every night, and then heap them all—currently numbering 50 and counting—online for all to hear. Recently the duo of Liam Flanagan and Nick Closson have opened the doors to outside contributors, including former Swords Project member Joey Ficken, but new blood hasn't ceased their assembly line mentality. Death to Ming's enjoyable material falls apart before ever receiving time to properly form; like the best of the Robert Pollard songbook, theirs is a haphazard collection of partial ideas, few of which are ever actually completed.
