Previously interviewed here at A Future in Noise in October, 2009 , Calvin Markus (from Dead Times ) has kindly granted us the opportunity for another Q&A session! Their latest release I Love Myself and I Want to Live , currently available as an AFIN exclusive , is discussed within as well as Markus' solo soundtrack album on Vulpiano Records Three Days of Sound ...: --- A Future in Noise: How have you and Dead Times changed since our last interview (music-wise and/or [...]

It's just about that time of the year again. You know... when Phoenix gets flooded with bands on their way to or from SXSW that need a spot to play on their way. And we're more than happy to oblige.

I think that Dead Times is making some of the most cool and important music (as well as art works , literature , and film [...]
Dead Times - Warp Rhythm Dead Times Midnight Glass ( download ) /avant freak gloom punk/ /fever ray plus nightmare noise/ /open eyes, clench teeth/ P.S. I'll be outta town this weekend.
