Why, hello there.
Welcome to the first post in The Diefenblog, a blog conceived as your one-stop informational resource as to the goings on of rock n' roll band Diefenbaker, a group heretofore shrouded in both mystery and disinterest. At the very least, check back weekly for the "What's Doin' With Diefenbaker?" post for a rundown of the band's thrice-weekly practices to keep up with the songs played and the progress made. MP3's of song snippets in-progress from the practices and special DA (Diefenbaker acoustic) performances also coming soon.
What is Diefenbaker?
Diefenbaker is a Baltimore, Maryland, based indie rock band. The band began practicing and refining material in August of 2009, after a preliminary period of songwriting starting in February of 2009. The band's sound bears the influence of '70's and '80's British post-punk and new wave over a template of '90's and '00's Britpop and American alt-rock.
Who is Diefenbaker?
So far:
J. Borneman - guitars, back-up vocals
S. Fedak - keys, lead vocals
Lyrics: Borneman. Music: Borneman, Fedak.
Current setlist?
Maybe Michelle (Borneman/Fedak)
Kiss Chase (Berenyi) (Lush cover)
Interstate 80 (Borneman/Fedak)
Am I Wrong? (Butler/Butler) (Love Spit Love cover)
Anything currently available to listen to?
The "demo stage" of Diefenbaker (February '09 to July '09) produced 10 rough demos, essentially an album's worth of songs, which has since been dubbed "I'm Busy: The Diefenbaker Demos". Comprised of six new originals, one old original, and three covers, it's available for listening or download here: www.soundclick.com/diefenbaker . Three more originals and another cover are currently being worked on outside of band practice sessions, more in keeping with the "full band" dynamic and the influences that both members bring to the group. When demoed, these songs will form the beginning of a second Diefenbaker "demo album", tentatively titled "Farewell, Diefenbaker!"
Look for the first post-practice blog tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 22, sometime around 10 pm EST.
That is all.
Your friend,
Diefenbaker
