Perform Vain, Erudite and Stupid: Selected Works 1987-2005 CD Ba Da Bing! 2006 (to be released)
Future Artists CD Language Recordings 2006 (to be released)

Relatively recent interview

The new album is not out yet, is it? At least I haven't seen it anywhere, so I guess it'll be within a month, hopefully.

the ba da bing cd comes out july 25.
the other i don't know.
there's also a 7-inch, Relax Fallujah b/w Hell Has Come, that will be available on september 26

you ever see that video of them on youtube? They are possibly the worst sounding band ever. Me and my friend laughed at it for hours...

thanks for posting the interview Phlegmscope.....

Oh man... You are SO wrong. A Dead C show is like some kind of a religious experience.



Meanwhile, I feel compelled to share this review:


The Sunday Times October 22, 2006

Pop: New release:

THE DEAD C
Vain, Erudite and Stupid: Selected Works, 1987-2005
Ba Da Bing! BING050 (two discs)

Review by: Stewart Lee

Albums by The Dead C, in their oblique and obtuse sleeves, first dripped into the UK in the late 1980s. The mysterious New Zealand trio shared Sonic Youth’s grasp of the feminine side of pure noise, but their two-chord drones and unfettered improvisations arrived unadorned by the usual self-justifying occult references or art-school in jokes. And while the works of their inheritors, such as Wolf Eyes and Lightning Bolt, can seem like exercises in anti-music machismo, this retrospective is as unpretentious as pretentious rock gets. In New Zealand, lo-fi recording was once a pragmatic choice, not an affectation. December’s show at All Tomorrow’s Parties in Minehead should seal, or sour, the legend.
Three stars

"Pop" indeed!

...Even better, the band's next record, Future Artists, the FIRST record to be released by the band after their greatest hits retrospective for Ba Da Bing, hence the first entries for their "Greatest Hits Volume Two," appears set for release next Spring...


yes, new dead c album of original material!!!!

Someone needs to make upload a Dead C comp. I've only seen the youtube video of Dead C doing the song "Sky". Only thing I know by them.

Like, dude, you can totally buy the above mentioned career spanning double CD "Vain Erudite, and Stupid" for about $10 US at an of your favorite online retailers. Surely that's not too much to ask?

edit: http://www.midheaven.com will give it to you for $9.50

I don't buy CDs. Why would I pay for such a horrible media format? I buy LPs only, but only locally because I've got warped ones in the mail before and it is really annoying.

don't think it's out on LP so you'll just have to stick to what yr local store offers.. have fun..

Like mp3s are better?
They're asking $5 per CD! If you're too cheap to pay for that then tough shit!

Eh, cds aren't that bad. It gets on my tits that people slag them off so much. Face it, they are convenient and they sound decent. Sure LPs are nice but they can sound worse that CDs, they aren't always better and they are a bitch to lug around the place.

Ah, cool, a thread about The Dead C.
Exactly the excuse I needed to spam the board with some pictures I took at their London gig earlier this month.

sweet pics, thanks. i picked up vain, erudite and stupid at ATP. It's pretty great, especially disk 2. gonna order some more of their stuff when i get paid.

i can't fathom the thought of someone liking really underground/independent music and being picky about formats. "i really like your stuff, but you don't have your stuff in vinyl so i won't buy your tapes and cd-rs, even though that's the only way to listen to your music"

so nobody else is excited about the band putting out a new album in 2007?

i bought it too... i'm really digging it. i now have 3 albums by them and i'm looking for more.
got a few more pictures:













the london gig was pretty different than the atp one; more introspective and not as amazing as they were at atp, but still great.

Exactly. The only thing I don't really buy is tapes because I don't have a working tape machine but I feel I've missed out on a load of nice stuff even on cassette. Dredd Foole put out a tape of Suicide covers apparently. I want that.

i'd never really heard them before atp so as you can imagine when i saw them there it was a truly mindblowing revelatory experience.

I generally can't fathom SpectralJulianIsNotDead... but that's just me I guess.
