Note added Nov. 1st. 2011: I have been intending to
overhaul this page for YEARS, and while I'm still dragging my feet, I will
add here at the top a list of music projects and links. I'll keep intact the
archaic links to individual mp3 files. For anyone who wants those (last
updated in 2006!) they're below this list!
Anyone reading this who is curious to hear more, email me
at eulogycontact@hotmail.com
and I will either send you a CDR, vinyl, or tape, or email you a zip file
with mp3's of whatever you're into. Hopefully soon I'll be able to find time
to reorganize all this without having to link to myspace profiles that
haven't been updated in four years etc. Anyway...
As of the year 2011 I am involved in the following music
projects --
HEX NINE is a band with my
friend Marybeth Chew. We started playing in 2008 or so, her on bass, me on
guitar/vox., and drum-machine DJX-5000 providing beats. As of 2010 our
friend Tony Palumbo (who recorded our 2nd. CDR album) joined as synth
beat-creator. Though we never check it anymore, you can hear some mp3's on
OUR MYFACE PROFILE.
GEB THE GREAT CACKLER is a
two-piece with Mandy Katz on violin/vox and me on guitar/vox. We also
incorporate minimal percussion. We play both acoustic and amplified,
depending on the situation. We have one full-length recording available on
cassette or CD that comes packaged in a zine we made that has all the lyrics
and illustrations for each song. It's called "Life In Prism."
We also have a MYFACE PROFILE
where you can sample our sounds. We also never check it, per the great
myface abandonment, but it's good for archive.
ERODE AND DISAPPEAR is a
two-piece band with Kevin Riley. Me and Kevin made our first band when I was
14 and he was 12! We formed this band in 2009. We also play together in
Northern Liberties, a three-piece. For this one I play drums and sing, and
Kevin plays bass and also sings but not as much. We have a slew of
recordings available - a lot of split releases (on cassette and vinyl), and
one full-length vinyl. We have
A PROPER WEBSITE, so check it out!
NORTHERN LIBERTIES is the most
long-running project I'm involved in, having formed in 2000. My brother Marc
plays the drumset, I play percussion and sing, and Kevin plays bass and does
sparse backing vocals on occasion. We don't play shows as often as we once
did, but we still write and record and dust off the live show once in a blue
moon, whenever we want to/can. Having been around for so many years we have
a ton of recordings - five full lengths and a bunch of splits, on vinyl, CD,
tape, you name it!
We also have a
PROPER WEBSITE!
ME & SEPH have a bunch of
projects that we maintain simultaneously just for our own amusement, such as
Baader-Tech, Kansas City Vampires, Kat Klix, Ghost & Garden Structure and
more I can't even remember right now. The best thing I could find on the
internet for this stuff was
THIS MYSPACE with a
little grab-bag of songs. Sometimes these projects are Seph with other
people, such as Chiller, but a lot of them have contributions from me on
keyboard, drums, and sometimes vocals.
AURIC DOVES OF AVALON/ETHERIC PHOENIX
etc. are monikers for my solo stuff, mostly four-track cassette recorded,
but sometimes more hi-fi. I have three full length recordings, one is a
proper album recorded by Kevin on fancy equipment, and two are compilations
of odd assorted recordings that accumulated over the course of years.
An ancient time-capsule of a MYSPACE is all that exists online (besides
the mp3's I put up here, as well), but it's better than nothing I guess.
MUCH MORE TO COME (at some point), thanks for your patience!
1.)
JUSTIN DUERR
solo four track songs, recorded 2005 A.D.
2.)
Songs by THE VIVIAN GIRLS EXPERIENCE. These recordings
represent a brand new genre of music known as lo-fi craft-pop. THE
VIVIAN GIRLS EXPERIENCE are comprised of myself and ENID
CROW. The music is intended as a soundtrack for crafts such as embroidery
and is thematically related to the works of artist Henry Darger and his characters
the Vivian girls.
We will soon have recordings reproduced with 25 songs total!
Recorded between 2005/'06 AD.
As a special treat to visitors to my website who may be
interested in the Vivian Girls Experience songs, I am uploading five rare
LIVE songs from our show of Sunday October 8th., 2006 AD. These songs were
recorded live at The Crow Palace in Brooklyn, NYC. Scroll down to tracks
13 - 17 to listen to this live show!
3.)
Solo Recordings released in the year 2000 A.D. under the title "DEXTROMETHORPHANAGE:
Nurse The Album". This CD contained 23 tracks and was limited to 23 copies.
If you would like to support our music by purchasing our 17
song CD ($5) or our 7" vinyl ($3) you may use paypal to order these items
from our labels online catalog HERE:
5.)
Songs by EULOGY. We were a group of friends who
played music together from 1998 A.D. - 2003 A.D.
We featured a wide array of instruments and musicians, but the main core of
the group became myself on drums + voice and Joe Lotito on bass/cello and occasionally
voice. The songs here are grouped chronologically, from our beginnings inside
the oil drums of an abandoned oil refinery to our final recording at Inner Ear
studios in Arlington, VA.
Old Eulogy review I came
across recently. This is from Punk Planet issue #35 and is for the album "I
Hear Voices":
"I am sure
these guys do here voices. This is disturbing, silly and haunting. I would liken
it to ones first day on a Psych ward. This band is really unique and original.
I would call them experimental in the same vein as early Butthole Surfers, Helios
Creed, Sockeye and Rudimentary Peni without sounding like any of those bands.
This is very good stuff. The best thing I got this month. The art is noteworhty
for its Nick Blinko like depravity. This is a totally DIY project from the 4-track
recording (in unusual locales) to the art and staples. These people are AUDIO
terrorists. The vocals drone (in a good way!) the drummer(s) are exceptional
and everything (there's quite a bit) is inventive. This CD is over an hour long"!

Some "rare" Eulogy recordings -- not that the other
ones are common, but these tracks were never "released" in any way,
even on limited run CD-R's etc. They're songs or jams from practice tapes that
for whatever reason got shuffled to the side. I added these songs for archival
purposes on Wednesday, April 30th., 2008 A.D. Enjoy!
1.)
DESIRES (Recorded sometime in 2002 A.D. This is a long jam
with some semi-structured elements.)
2.) GOLDEN
DAYS (Recorded in 2001 A.D., I think. The germ of a song
that never made it all the way.)
3.) VOYAGER
(This one is from '03 - a song abandoned due to the end of the
band.)
6.)
Recordings by KAT
KLIX. This was a project put together by myself and my friend Seph. I
played keyboards and sang and he sang and wrote words. We performed in cat costumes
and had a theme of sexxxiness and absurdity. Our stage names: "Shitty Kitty"
and "Scat Kat". We last performed Halloween 2004 A.D. at C.O.D.E.
These songs were recorded at the Catbox in 2002 A.D.
7.)
Recordings by LICE. These songs were recorded in
1992 / 93 A.D. I played the drums in this band,
Kevin played the guitar and sang and Daron "the Baron" played the
bass. Tragically Daron died at age 18, just a few years after these recordings
were made. Seven years later Kevin and myself would play together again in NORTHERN
LIBERTIES (see above)... these songs were recorded in Darons garage/ basement
by LICE.
8.) Songs
by BLACK SKELETONS OF DEATH. This is myself on
the drums, Seph on guitar and our friend Adam on vocals. Adam is a living legend
and is the official King of Prussia. These songs were recorded at the Catbox
by Black Skeletons Of Death in 2003 A.D.
9.) A
song by IMAGE 33 from
their self titled CDR.... they invited to write lyrics and do guest vocals on
this song, which already had the working title (as an instrumental) of "T.K.O.".
I called the song "total kinetic organism". This was recorded in the
summer of 2000 A.D., if my memory serves me well.
10.) Three
songs by AVIARY III recorded in
2002 A.D. This band was an improvisational
instrumental group comprised of myself on bass, Bile Green on guitar and Carmel
on drums. We mainly played house shows in West Philly and occasionally ventured
to other areas. The group was active from 2002 - 2004. We were born out of the
scene at the Catbox house at the time as well as playing the Church Of Divine
Energy often.
11.) Two "songs"
by ONE RAT BRAIN recorded live at
The Killtime in Philadelphia in 1996 AD. We were
a performance art group with an emphasis on the performance -- this might sound
a little more tolerable if you imagine us throwing the equipment against walls,
throwing food..... or it might just sound the same. Either way this stands as
an audio document of a moment in time that no one who was there will ever forget.
As for the rest of the world.... they weren't there, so how would they know?
Comprised on this recording of Bood, Broken, Aby, Ruthbeth, Mandy, Dan-Dan,
George + several more whom I unfortunately can't remember at the moment.
12.) Recording
from 1995 or '96 AD by Spastic
Sexxx Abuse Moose which was myself on violin and my friend
Brad Belman relating a weird dream he had about travelling through shortwave
bands. Recorded at the Happy House Squat on Spring Garden St.
