I am going to cautiously say this next statement, for I am afraid that I may be assassinated by one of you and if not you then by my partner-in-crime Connor.
Four days ago, I finally got to see The Big Lebowski in it's entirety.
Yeah, I know. It's a sin, I'm a horrible person, how can I be a complete movie fan, yadda yadda. I had seen various parts of the movie at different times, but had never sat down and watched it play through continuously. After seeing that remarkable flick, I have a new appreciation for a band that I have neglected posting on called Everthus the Deadbeats. If you're a Big Lebowski fan, I'm sure you can recall Dude's rug getting pissed on as a man fist pumps and shouts "Everthus the deadbeats, Lebowski!" Now that you know where they got their name, shall we discuss music?
The Deadbeats hail from the Indianapolis area, where they make a variety of terrific songs for your listening pleasure. Their music is a vague and reminiscent clash of bands like Ween or even Man Man. With the contrasting effect of deep vocals meeting high pitched vocals, Everthus the Deadbeats are able to craft a sound that I would love to see played before my eyes. Lyrically the band is very solid, with fun lines like "addicts stuck in traffic!" and even inserting a clever play of words on their name with a line saying "Trevor dust the bedsheets." Aside from enjoying the creativity stemming from their vocal chords, I really like the various keyboard and percussion heavy musical breakdowns in each of the below songs. Without their coy use of keys, this band could've been nothing more than an oriental rug soaking up urine on the floor.

I think I've seen The Big Lebowski maybe 100 times or so in its entirety...so much so that I've thought about volunteering to help host a Chicago version of Lebowski Fest.
The movie just spoke to me. I don't know how else to explain it...
weird coincidence

are those links switched?
Just seems like they might be.
Wow, how kick ass is that? Maybe my favorite comedy of all time.
Hey, I am the assistant editor of 72 Hours at the Ball State Daily News. WE own the copyright to that photo. Can you please take it down?
Thanks
I like your blog, by the way.
I didn't mean to capitalize the we, I'm not mad.

oh man, stupid copyright people trying to restrict our freedoms of photo usage.
I love how they didn't care about the free songs, just about the photo.

I actually bought this CD, twice, so don't lecture me.
That photo is still one from the 72 Hours photo shoot. Just credit the photographer and it will be fine.

Simmer down you two! We had a photo shoot last week so this problem wouldn't exist. Matt is a dear and so is everyone from this blog for helping us spread hugs for our band. Grazie,
Deadbeat Dan

I just saw Everthus last night at a little hole-in-the wall here in Greenville NC, and I was sold. I was pretty surpised to see how much production quality went into their albums too, I didn't expect a band of their caliber to play at the Spazzatorium Galleria.
Yeah, their music is great (favorite so far is Trevor Dust the Bedsheets), but its even better live, not just for the music, but for the interaction too.
Anyway, sorry to comment on a two-year old post. I've been looking at everything I can find about them online since last night.
