Lateduster
(original lineup) Formed in Minneapolis in 1999, lateduster was
originally an instrumental sextet called cropduster, with a symmetrical
lineup of two guitars, two full drum kits and two DJs on 4 turntables.
By the beginning of 2000, they had pared themselves down to a 4-piece
and began honing their unique textural sound into intricately arranged
chamber music. In 2000, they recorded and released the first of 3
"handmade" eps, independently released on their own Firetrunk
Records label. In 2002, the best tracks from these early recordings
were remastered and compiled on a new full-length record, Lateduster,
that included 2 newly recorded songs. During the summer and fall of
2002 the band completed an all-new CD entitled five easy pieces, released
Nov 2002, also on Firetrunk. Over the winter of 2002-2003, the band
continued working on it's 3rd CD, a new original soundtrack to the
1925 silent German Expressionist film Variete, which they performed
live at the SOUNDUNSEEN film festival in 2001. In April 2003, the
DUST released it's first DVD, a collaborative project with choreographer
Emily Johnson, and her company CATALYST, entitled Plain Old Andrea,
With A Gun. In 2004, MERCK Records released EASY PIECES internationally
to wide acclaim. As all four members continue to work on their other
projects, they continue to work on Variete, which they hope to release
in 2006. |
