Part One, “The Truth”
Four young gentlemen were born to 8 parents. One from New York, One from Louisiana, and the rest from California. Through a series of fortunate events (broken bones, concussions, divorces, successful marriages, siblings, fishing trips, and dreams), the boys all found their way to Los Angeles. The California boys had already known each other from University, and moved there together. The New Yorker moved because it was time to move, and the New Orleanite, moved because of the weather. Then through jobs, and girlfriends the fellows came to realize that they wanted to do something more with their hands, so they built bridges, and verses, and pre-choruses. The 4 guys are now The Deadly Syndrome, where all have a hand in writing the music.
so i know that there’s no point in living in the past, but there are some things that you just can’t help but talking about, and for me right now that’s the show with MSTRKRFT and steve aoki on wednesday night. for me, probably the best show i’ve seen at the roxy in my nearly two years here. the vibe in the room was unmatchable - everyone was dancing to the beat and rocking out like i’ve never seen it. if you aren’t familiar with mstrkrft, check ‘em out - www.myspace.com/mstrkrft, you won’t be disappointed. i can’t wait to get these guys back here for another amazing night. i snagged some pictures from lastnightsparty.

the first time I saw Joseph Arthur I levitated. Was about 1/2 an inch off the ground for about an hour. Dark Corner. Jack n Coke. Was flying solo as there was not room for even one more at Largo that night… An artist not to be missed and a show I’ll never forget. No need to say, it’s an honor to have Joseph Arthur for a 2 night run at The Roxy.
Billboard Magazine says, “a mature effort that shines with nakedness and clarityâ€
Entertainment Weekly says, “With images of needles, blood, and pills, Daydream’s song cycle moves through each breakup station of the cross with shimmering guitars and Arthur’s ecstatically woozy falsetto, finally emerging with a sweet, if hard-won hope. A -”
Vanity Fair says, “Joseph Arthur’s Nuclear Daydream is a glorious work of art from this exceptional, romantic singer-songwriter.”
Seattle Times says, “The New York artist is a spiritual descendant of Bob Dylan and John Lennon.”
CMJ says, “…his most beautiful.”
Paste Magazine says, “… endlessly ponderable and disturbingly beautiful.”
