Imagine the early Police, Manu Chao and The Cure collaborating to write a Quentin Tarantino movie soundtrack. Sprinkle in the energy of a late 60's feel good anthem, some modern day indie-rock soundscapism, and you have the ingredients of Brooklyn-based Deadbeat Darling.

The band was founded by singer/guitarist Joseph King, who after 7 years as a respected songwriter and frontman in the Austin music scene, moved to New York City in October of 2005 to begin work in a new musical direction. He found himself writing songs that reflected his dub and electronica influences within a rock/pop setting, and inside of 6 months teamed up with drummer/vocalist Alex Wong, bassist/keyboardist Sanjay Jain, and guitarist Mohit Bhansali to form Deadbeat Darling. Characterized by Alex's electronica-influenced drumming, Sanjay's and Mo's synth and tremolo-fueled soundscapes, and King's gravely vocals, the band creates a sound that is sensual, moody and pulsing with positive vibration. The four-piece has recently been joined by Omar Akil on trumpet and keys, further adding to the eclectic lushness of the group's collective sound. Live, the energy and charisma is nothing short of contagious, and even within the easily compartmentalized and self-defining indie rock scenes of New York, continues to draw an increasingly diverse fanbase that defies genre and stereotype....
