Dead Air Fresheners, LIVE! (Live Friday 054)

Formed around 1996, The Dead Air Fresheners are shrouded in mystery, doing strange multi-media presentations hidden in a variety of masks. Moog and tape samples mix sometimes, but not always, with drums, ambient vocals, distorted feedback, electric guitar, computers and digital toys, and even digeridoo. They have played around the northwest and toured Pittsburgh behind poet Chuck Swaim, and have put in sets at Olympia’s Experimental Music Festival for eight years straight. In addition to one album, “I Try To Show My Love,” on Plastic Duck Records in 1999, they have produced three self-released albums between 2001-2003, and provided soundtracks to Chuck Swaims poetry, too. The current direction of the group is once again an instrumental one, allowing for a handful of very special shows per year. Fortunately one of them will be right here, on KPSU’s Live Friday
