BIO:

Somewhere between a structured, well maintained existence and a chaotic life of insubordination lies a vast amount of negative space that has a welcome mat for the proper and a soiled mattress for the seedy. A crossroads if you will. The air at the center is filled with an eerie silence yet it emits a rumbling so intense that young children run to cover the ears of their dead pets.

Degollado is in close proximity, inching ever closer to the 4-way stop. Having maintained a steady diet of musical liveliness in various forms for over 10 years straight, Christopher Feltner (guitar & sound manipulation) and Nic McInturff (percussion) breathe in the foul ambience of this striking backdrop and stare at the intersection with a keen glare.

Leaning on the hands of patience, Degollado spent most of 2010 writing what would become their debut EP, Dark Of The Day (Founding Father Records). Combining sonic simplicity with a mere penchant for the exploration of sound, Degollado creates precise movement that is heavy in ways that aren't solely loud. No words are needed. The sounds emitted speak for themselves and when the movement diminishes the gnarled tongue seems to speak even louder.

Now that Dark Of The Day is ready to be passed to the hands of the living, Degollado has spent the first half of 2011 playing shows in Virginia, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, & New York. In between the live outbursts, the band continues to write new material in their hometown of Strasburg, VA. Many more songs will be written and many more shows will be played. Slowing down now would mean catching a good glimpse of the crossroads and is there really a need for that? Keep the mind wondering. Keep the music evolving.

Nic McInturff: drums
Christopher S. Feltner: guitar
