It's official, folks. Ever Reviled Records in conjunction with New York City's only rock n' roll Tiki Bar, Otto's Shrunken Head, announces a June 9th, 2012 release party for ?Bomb This Joint?, my first vinyl record release. Each album will include a username and password for a free internet download of each song. Pre-orders will soon be available at darrendeicide.com. June 9th will also be the kickoff party for the ?Bomb This Joint 2012 Tour? which will span from New York City to Chicago and many points in-between. I'll be sure to keep everyone updated. Anyone interested in booking a show can contact me directly at darrendeicide@gmail.com.
I'm quite excited to have this release party at Otto's Shrunken Head. Details about this party will unfold in the coming days, but know that it will be a cavalcade of nostalgic noir that will extend from music to modeling and stranger points in-between. Mark your calendar.
You did a great job cleaning my inventory out over that last tour, people. Thank you for keeping my gas tank full and my belly full of grits. As a result, I've had to restock on stickers, and they just came in. These stickers are of the new swanky avatar that was designed by Gabriel Haze (whose services you can render at GabrielHaze.com). The stickers are only 50 cents, so grab a bunch, take some otherwise nice thing and make it look like shit by covering it in stickers. Get them here.
First, hello all of you new acolytes from tour that are now in on this circle. Gooba gabba!
Tune into Rukus Radio based in Cleveland, which has been running a 7-song segment on some of my music. I couldn't tell you when it plays, so just roll the dice, tune in, and enjoy some contemporary underground music.
Tired of every ball-less piece of corny pop music being passed off as rock n' roll? I have the cure for you, and it's straight...no chaser.
Under "Touring Information" is the schedule for "The 800 Miles to Chicago Tour". In anticipation of the "Bomb This Joint" 7-inch vinyl record being released this spring, I'm taking my raucous one-man rhythm n' blues show on a 2 week tour from New York City to Chicago and back playing cities I haven't visited in over a year. Tour kicks off on November 17th in Jersey City at a free listening party for the upcoming "Bomb This Joint" 7-inch vinyl record and Brownbird Rudy Relic's "I Am The Juke!". Pounding Pavement Music, Reltone Records, Ever Reviled Records, and Old Nick Magazine will be there. Marilyn Mansfield, who stars in "The Cocaine Song" music video, TLC's "Obsession Collection", and is the 1st "Old Nick chick" will be there with Old Nick Magazines for sale. The tour also includes the Skyland Roller Girls season wrap up at the historic Stanhope House in Stanhope, NJ, which of course will be attended by the Skyland Roller Girls who will be signing their new 2012 Skyland Roller Girl calendar. From there it will be all points in-between and 3 shows in the Chicagoland area. Besides the usual merchandise, I'll also have the new "Cocaine Song" music video on DVD that has extras and comes with a "Cocaine Song" shirt. For more information, check my "touring information" section on the main page.
See you at the show.
Yet another internet phenomenon is ebbing and flowing through the cyberwaves. This time it's Google+, a feasible alternative to the voyeuristic clusterfuck of Facebook. Guess who's on it?

+1 me, circle me, and do all those other Googley-plus things that you can do.
"The 800 Miles to Chicago Tour" has been finalized! You couldn't imagine how much my butt is twitching to play the road. Under "Touring Information" you will find a summation of the tour. This is my first tour in this direction in about a year, so I hope to see some old and new faces.
Social networks come and go, and one is coming as we speak. Yes, I meant that pun. This new one is Reverbnation. I don't put much stock in these things, so if this goes the way of Myspace within a year, I won't be shedding any tears. However, Reverbnation is picking up a lot of steam in the music world and fast becoming a way in which new artists and various other hacks get their music out. So if you're on Reverbnation, join this hack and fan me.

Soon to come: The 800 Miles to Chicago Tour.
On November 3rd, I will be playing a big show at Union Hall in Brooklyn, NY. Tickets are already available for this event, so grab yours now.
Darren Deicide at Union Hall - 11/3/11
In mid-November, I hit the road for "The 800 Miles to Chicago Tour". The kickoff show will be a listening party at The Lamp Post in Jersey City, NJ and will be presented by Pounding Pavement Music, Reltone Records, and Ever Reviled Records. We'll be previewing my upcoming "Bomb This Joint" 7-inch as well as Brownbird Rudy Relic's new album "I Am The Juke" by playing songs from both releases at the show. I'm getting the word out now, because this show is going to bring down the rafters. If you are in PA, OH, IN, IL, or WI and would be interested in bringing me to your town for "The 800 Miles to Chicago Tour", drop me a line.
Also, I know I promised that I'd be posting 2 tracks as a straw poll for the B-side of my upcoming "Bomb This Joint" 7-inch. Well, I made a decision regarding which will be the B-side. Darren Deicide-land is not a democracy.
Got interviewed on the recent podcast of 9sense radio. I also spontaneously did "Who Got Ms. Liberty?" on my old Stella guitar via the internet, as per host Adam Campbell's request. Listen to it here!

For those who missed out on the Harsimus Cemetery premiere, here's a little video. Lady Zombie and Kim De'Ville left the crowd like a herd of deer in headlights after this one. If you're squeamish about cutting and blood, don't click on this:

You clicked didn't you?
This Friday I open up the whole can of worms at The Brick City Sound Riot music festival! I don't mean that proverbially. I'm literally the very first opening act of the festival on Friday night. If you haven't gotten tickets yet, here's your chance.
There will even be an after party at the Best Western Robert Treat Hotel afterwards, so stick around for all the debauchery.
Oh was yesterday so nice. I spent the day at Water Music in Hoboken and recorded 2 songs for the upcoming 7-inch. Studios can be awkward situations, but this turned out fantastic. A little more mixdown is required and then I'm going to be asking for your help to choose the B-side, my beloved people. Until then, I'll see you Friday in Newark. Bring a flak jacket.
It's been a big week for diabolical radio, and I had the privilege of being interviewed on VASCA Radio. It was great. I'm sick and tired of the trite interviews out there, but this one dug really deep. We talked about the new video for "The Cocaine Song", the state of rock n' roll as it relates to current mainstream music, as well as a bunch of other topics. Enjoy. The interview starts at 26:50.
Interview on VASCA RadioSo, I will be hitting the studio in mid-September to record my forthcoming 7-inch. I consider this a treat for the music connoisseurs out there that still understand the value of the analog sound in this increasingly pretentious and over-produced musical environment. The warm, live sound of a record is still unparalleled, and I cannot wait to hear the end product. Here's the catch: I don't know what song to put on the B-side. Over time songs of mine have evolved, and one in particular has undergone a great deal of evolution. That song was on The Jersey Devil is Here and is called "Hudson River Hangover". I also have a new, already recorded song called "Who Got Ms. Liberty?"
What does this have to do with you? You're going to cure my indecision. When both songs are finished, I am going to put each one up on my player at darrendeicide.com for a limited time, and I'm going to take a straw poll. The results are going to determine what makes the B-side.
This Saturday is the NJ premiere of "The Cocaine Song" music video! And if you haven't heard, it takes place in the hauntingly beautiful and historic Harsimus Cemetery. We'll be basking in the gothic scenery as we screen the video outdoors on a projected screen. I also will be joined by some other great musicians that run the gamut from awesome to hilarious. It'll be a picnic full of fun, humor, and dead people, and all the information is under shows.
Now if you need more coaxing, listen to this episode from Hate Speech Radio of David Harris, Heather Height, and I getting sauced on bourbon and making complete jackasses of ourselves. Oh yeah, and I also play "Hudson River Hangover" and "Who Got Ms. Liberty?", the B-side song to my upcoming 7-inch.

It's your friendly neighborhood rock n' roller bringing you the latest greazy, sleazy, down and dirty rhythm n' blues. No doubt then that I should have the dubious honor of being interviewed in Kink E Magazine by the lovely Heather Height, comedian and co-host of Hate Speech Radio and Naughty Bits. No doubt.

The music video for "The Cocaine Song" continues to creep into the fabric of music. Director and writer of the video, Gabriel Haze, has started a Kickstart campaign to enter the video into film festivals. Check it all out here.
"The Cocaine Song" - Awareness CampaignNote that if you do a donation of $3,000 or more, I'll personally come and rock your domicile at a private party for you and your skeavy company. For $5,000 or more, I'll be bringing the beautiful Marilyn Mansfield with me. You have no idea how we like to party. I will not be held accountable for the condition of your home when it is all said and done.
Also, I am proud to announce that the New Jersey premiere for "The Cocaine Song" music video will be sponsored by LaGunitas Brewery and held at the historical Harsimus Cemetery on August 20! Harsimus Cemetery has been featured in Weird NJ and is one of the most interesting historical treasures we have in the Jersey City area. LaGunitas makes delicious beer and will have their IPA and Pilsner for sale.
The Historic Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery LaGunitas BreweryThe lineup is still coming together, and I would keep a pulse on darrendeicide.com or link to the Facebook premiere to keep up to date. The New Jersey Premiere of "The Cocaine Song" on Facebook Until then, stay sleazy internet-folk.

Lady Zombie and Mistress La Morta - "Seduction"Keep a pulse on things, because we are in the works for a New Jersey premiere of the video. Soon you will know details, but just as a tease know that it will be held in a historical place that has been featured in Weird NJ. I love teasing.
Here I come CT! It's been far too long! I'll be swinging through with my buddies in 117 to play a couple shows in New London and Jewett City. Check them out here: 117
We are now T-minus 4 days from the world premiere of "The Cocaine Song" music video! Here's a little something to whet your appetite.
If you need information on the show, just click here. I've been getting a lot of questions about what this premiere is going to be like. The most common are...Will we get to see the video after the premiere? Answer: Nope. Not right away, so you better fucking come. What time will the video be shown? Answer: I'm not really sure, so stick around. Will there really be a bevy of smoking hot nurses crawling all over the joint like you promised? Answer: You bet your fucking ass. When have I ever let you down?
So, whatever ails you, we'll have the cure. Dr. Deicide will be in session. My sexy staff and I will check you out and administer your medicine liberally at the premiere for "The Cocaine Song" music video this Thursday in the heart of New York City. Until then, get your rest...doctor's orders.
This Sunday I will be on Hate Speech Radio with David Harris and Heather Height! Oh the joys!

Hate Speech RadioI've never been on a comedy talk show before, so this is going to be mighty interesting. Be sure to join us in chat and add to the chaos. In particular, we will be discussing the upcoming world premiere of "The Cocaine Song" music video, written and edited by award-winning director, Gabriel Haze and featuring the lovely Marilyn Mansfield. The fun kicks off at 2pm. If your head is under a rock, and you haven't heard anything about this, click here.
I've recently gotten hip to Old Nick Magazine, a wonderful nudie rag. But this is no ordinary Penthouse and Playboy affair. Old Nick is a tasteful combination of high and low brow, a potpourri of ease and sleaze. It is the dirty gentleman's tea time. Naturally, I fit like a glove within its pages. Old Nick did a flattering review of "The Jersey Devil is Here". You can pick up the latest issue right here.
Old Nick MagazineOld Nick will also be at the world premiere of "The Cocaine Song" music video. June 30th at The R Bar right in the heart of Manhattan is when it goes down. Be there or be four corners. The bill for the event continues to grow! Now I am being joined by my old friends, Brownbird Rudy Relic and Matt Pless! Plus, Marilyn Mansfield herself will be there to host the event. She will be ring mastering a glorious nurse fetish fashion show sponsored by Red Butta Fly. Also, at the event will be the enchanting dominatrix Lady Zombie, who will be doing things that cannot be mentioned in the presence of sinless children. This along with Hate Speech Radio and Savage Traits (Ali will be doing fangs for a special $40 that night!) will round out the night to make a killer time. Here's the cherry on top: The first 200 people at the event will get a free Ever Reviled Records CD! Oh, it's going to be great.
It's official folks. "The Cocaine Song" music video will be premiered on June 30th right in the heart of New York City. The premiere will take place at R Bar, a swanky joint if I do say so myself. I don't want to reveal too much, but let's just say that there's going to be quite a bit going into this. For a single night, R Bar will be transformed into a surreal world full of naughty nurses and extreme boogie. Details will unfold but, if you still haven't, bookmark, friend, "like"...whatever "The Cocaine Song" Facebook fan page.
