Interview with Denver Dalley guitarist of Desaparecidos from December of 2004.
I believe that music plays a major part in many people's lives, what message would you like to convey with the music you are making and how do you think your music does affect those who listen?
"I would really like to hope that my music either makes people nostalgic of a time that came before they ever heard it, or that it would become a marker for a certain time in their lives. For example, if you have ever had an album or a song that makes you think of a particular summer or a particular event in your life. That would be an unbelievable honor for me. I feel like music is the soundtrack to life, and i would love to be a part of a listener's life- the same way that they inspire meant are a part of my life."
What is the status of the previously announced new Desaparecidos album, and what is the status of Desaparecidos in general?
"desa is extremely hit or miss- very off again, on again. The alleged new record is the same way. We are all excited to work on it, but its just a matter of getting us all together and actually working on it. I think that it will be a recording session that is divided into many smaller sessions, instead of us all just banging it all out at once."
What are your thoughts in response to other projects that the members of Desaparecidos have been working on?
"I think that they are all fantastic. I could not be more proud of each one of them. Obviously bright eyes gets plenty of attention and praise, but they have earned every bit of it. The 89 cubs record is amazing and they have been touring like mad- you can really see it in their live show, it's incredible. I think that when rigge eventually comes out its going to blow people away- i've heard some tracks and its unreal. Very excited to see all of this."
