Polkadot Cadaver Schedules CD Release
11/17/2007
From: Rotten Records
Baltimore-based Polkadot Cadaver, featuring Todd Smith, Jasan Stepp and John Ensminger
formerly of Dog Fashion Disco, have announced CD release performances in Cleveland, OH on
November 30th and December 1st, 2007 in Baltimore, MD.
The members of Polkadot Cadaver cut their teeth recording and touring relentlessly in
avant-garde alt-metal act Dog Fashion Disco. During the near decade the group, Smith and
his merry band of misfits would amass a loyal underground following of fans (dubbed the
"mushroom cult") through countless tours with Slayer, Mindless Self Indulgence, Nothingface
and Lacuna Coil.
"We came to a stand still with Dog Fashion Disco," says Smith about the demise of his former
outfit. "We weren't making any money, but we were touring non-stop and it seemed like we
were chasing our tail."
While Smith and company may have become sick of living the vagabond lifestyle that a
touring metal band requires, the thought of giving up music entirely never even crossed their
minds. Within mere months of their former outfit's demise the group had created a new
group, Polkadot Cadaver, to unleash their schizophrenic musical madness.
"Jasan and I decided to start a studio band and Polkadot Cadaver started as shells of songs
on Jasan's computer. After we fleshed out the songs we pitched it to Rotten Records, because
we loved how they handled the last Dog Fashion Disco album," says Smith about the
formation of the group. "They immediately got behind us and as soon as we received a
recording budget we went to Wrightway Studios to work and complete the record. Polkadot
Cadaver is very similar to Dog Fashion Disco stylistically. The songs are still very quirky and
different from each other."
Polkadot Cadaver's debut album, Purgatory Dance Party is slated for release on
November 27th, 2007 through Rotten Records.
