Our music is electro dance music and our EP should be done in June 2009. Some influences are Depeche Mode, Ladytron, The Sex Pistols, Ratatat, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, etc. There's more but for some reason those are the ones that come to mind at the moment. To help you visualize (or aural-ize, as the case may be) our sound, we have two keyboards (but one keyboard player), an electronic drum set (not preprogramed drums, but an actual electric set like those lame ones from the 80s that turned out to be super cool), bass, and vocals. On one song I also do back-up vocals.
We're pretty DIY about stuff. For example, right now Laura and I are learning how to silk screen shirts. At our next shows you can buy one if you like; we'll basically be selling them for what it cost us to make them. We also make lots of posters and that sort of thing, which we'll sell to you for a dollar, or just give to you if you're cool. We are kind of trying to do a series of posters that are similar to each other, but still distinct as well. Each one features Laura and some words. The amount of information on each poster is very minimal, which I thought was cool, but might just be annoying. Also, we're trying to figure out what to do for our EP cover. We want to do that ourselves to, but we also want it to look really good. We have looked at getting a rubber stamp made, painting each one individually, getting them printed somewhere else, or some other approach. If you have suggestions let us know.
Well, in the future I'm sure I'll have something better to say about the band, but for now I just wanted get it out there. So yeah, that's Electron Deception.
