Surf The Dark Side with Dead Sea Surfers. The brainchild of DSS is singer & songwriter Aleister Cat, Al e Cat, aka Aleister, the vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist has performed with various projects & bands on many stages through the years, from LA to New York City. In recent years past Aleister lent his keyboard skills to The project, DE over a period of one year while performing in NYC in 2004. Despite being a fan, friend & hired gun performer for DE's music, Aleister regressed & reformed his older band, whose roots stem from a much simpler earlier period whose beginnings manifested in post punk modern era. The band for all intensive purposes Dead Sea Surfers, was recreated to actulize & evocate memories of post punk, death rock era of music Aleister enjoyed the most which to most expanse is deeply bass laden, synth-heavy but with all musicians playing real instruments & including drums in the classic gothic genre. If Dead Sea Surfers were performing magick in theory & practice in the early to mid 80's there's no doubt they would have been a force in the underground subculture, what would later be called the goth scene. Their signature smooth chart-topping sound is an ultramodern blend reminscent of past classics but a sound that is evolved, augmenting & progressing with a newness in it's raw simplicity. "Already Home" has an orginal punk feel with idol gutteral vocals & probable influences are the cramps, generation x or maybe the likes of iggy pop & the stooges. It seems after Aleister transfiguration where he took in over 100 units of fresh blood to sustain life in late 1999 that his shapeshifter abilities with respect to sound began to appear & filter down to an ability to mimic classic & modern gothic hymns but the question, which sound should he should ultimately persue, you know what, who cares when most of his songs are lucid, dark, catchy, perspicuous, well-arranged high-quality recordings. Dead Sea Surfers can be the best soundtrack for every day which to some is always Halloween. At present time 04.04.08 14 unique tracks are for sale at rawrip.com for $0.49 cents each tune. Full streams are available to listen to & a full length independent album & EP are due by late 2008.
