Artist History Ten years ago (or something like that) three guys met at school. They became good friends. They started a band a long time after that, and found a drummer. Again, they all became good friends. Then they played some shows (mostly in the same clubs) and made an album that made a few people happy. Then they tried to make another one, but only managed to get an EP finished before they parted ways temporarily. Most of them, (3 of 4) went on to form *sonora* (www.mp3.com/sonora) and the TSC.

Group Members / Wil Richardson: Vocals, noise guitar. / Dana Clow: Lead Guitar, Drums. / Jacob Earl: Bass Guitar, Ambience. / Ozzy Park Wheeler: Drums, Percussion, Impolite Guitar.

Instruments Noise machines (guitars, both the acoustic and the funny electric kinds), A fine five string bass, Wil's voice, and a set of drums that sound like somebody's beating on wet cardboard when the heads are dead. (now and again, there's turntables and handdrums, and Jacob abusing his Bouzouki)

Albums TRANCED, released 26th June, 1999. (The actual release (not the DAM CD) available on the band website, features two more songs which do not appear on the DAM(n) CD) CONDUIT EP. a series of songs (3 live, previously unreleased) from db's biref frenzy of a life.
