Everthus the Deadbeats is a band whose music is every bit as quirky as its members. Singer John Muylle is a trained wood sculptor who was contracted by the town of Elwood, IN to recreate thirty statues of Sandy the Squirrel, the town's lovable mascot. Bassist Benny Sanders studied to operate a letterpress and is one of a handful of people in the U.S. under the age of forty who can set type by hand. Singer Lisa Berlin is the inventor of the Skrote, a hybrid between a skirt and pants that fasten with a belt around the waist of the wearer that has been purchased by three boutiques in Milan and Paris. Guitarist Allen Bannister is a commercial interior painter, which allows him to use his Fine Arts major to recreate famous Dada paintings on the walls and floors of suburban homes, much to the surprise of the neutral color loving homeowners. Drummer Daniel Fahrner spent his formative years traveling with a circus from Peru, IN, and later used his Business Management training to help create the World's Largest Ball of Paint Museum. Collectively, the group has created "amorphous landscapes populated with insanity and characters of questionable reputation." - Josh Flynn, IUPUI Daily News

Everthus the Deadbeats' debut release with Standard Recording Co. (Margot & the Nuclear So and So's, Everything Now!, Arrah & the Ferns), "Addicts Stuck in Traffic," has been described simply as "uniformly excellent and inventive," and not-so simply as "a disarming sound that is equal parts the Stranglers, Tilly And The Wall and the soundtrack from The Rocky Horror Picture Show." - Songs:Illinois Blogspot

Together, the quintet will continue to feed one another from supple meat and cheese platters and also feed from one another in a live setting, translating its "equal part glam rock and sleazy lounge act" into a "theater of the absurd." (Josh Flynn, IUPUI Daily News)

And now my friends, EVERTHUS The DEADBEATS are coming to a city near you. And just in time for X-mas, this freak-pop quintet has just finished their new album entitled "Addicts Stuck in Traffic." This six-song debut features such favorites as: "Human Paraquat" and "I've Gotta Lotta Faith in this Product." You will also hear new songs like: "She" and "Some Terrys." As an added bonus, every copy of the album has been hand made by a member of the band. Although hard to describe, Everthus the Deadbeats could be called a mixture of Talking Heads, Ween, Pink Floyd, and Brian Eno, but you really just have to decide for yourselves.

In addition to "Addicts Stuck in Traffic," you will soon be able to hear Everthus the Deadbeats back to back with their good friends Everything, Now! on their untitled split 7 inch vinyl.
