After-Death Plan

Yeah, well, we still haven’t figured out how to make a livestream video sound okay but we’re working on it. Meanwhile, we recorded this video last night using a drum loop from the demo session. This is legitimately us though and not robots. Sound is, eh, fine. It's fine. Stay safe and wash those paws!

It’s the 20th anniversary of this Mal VU recording of Black Swan. The text is from an opera by Carlo Menotti about a fictive medium who makes her living pretending to contact the dead. During a fake seance, she feels a spectral hand gripping her throat and freaks out. She blames the mute servant boy (don’t we all?) who wasn’t even in the room. Her daughter calms her down by singing this super creepy, Jungian, Wagnerian, dark mythic lullaby. I'd sung this aria while studying v

Enormous thanks to Matt Catchpole and Essentially Pop for taking the time to listen and to write this great review. We're big Peter Gabriel fans (and PJ and The Kills). It means a lot to reach listeners that would find common threads to these particular artists. Here's the review: BODY TALK – Ohio’s After Death Plan Release Follow Up To Debut Album ‘Literature’ Their first album was 20 years in the making, but US duo After Death Plan have wasted no time in coming up with a fo

"A stylish fusion of classic rock theatrics and grunge-inspired indie fuzz make up the audio experience that is Neil Harvey. Complete with a complex and captivating story-line, the song grows more and more fascinating as it progresses. Dashes of anthem-like togetherness flicker in and out of view, meanwhile the leading vocalist pours absolutely everything into the art of performance – a multi-layered, meandering melody-line suits the constantly evolving details and the growin

Gateway is an independent nonprofit movie theater here that finds the best in indie and arthouse film to screen. We go here a lot and rely on them to keep us current on the film industry. So, of course, we jumped at the chance to screen one of our videos as part of "MojoFlo presents Music Video Mondays." This monthly event, March - May, is curated by Amber Knicole and her band MojoFlo, sponsored in part by the Greater Columbus Arts Council. I didn't catch the full lineup but

Our last full-length video premiered today on Columbus Underground and it was pretty glorious to see it well-received. Thanks to Grant Walters and CU for the premiere of Walking, for the interview, and for the generous words describing our music. We have started to meet some wonderful artists and have no doubt that this exposure will lead us to bigger and better things. Thank you!

For starters, what bands were you guys a part of prior to After Death Plan? How long has the band been around? I’ve been in bands since the late 80s. Most notably Our Flesh Party, Salt Horse, and currently Earwig. After-Death Plan is an organic offshoot of Lesley’s music collaborative, Mal VU, from her time in Chicago in the 90s and oughts. We liked each other’s approach to songwriting so much that we made ourselves an official band somewhere around 2012. What’s the origin

In light of last night's snow spanking, tomorrow's holiday, and the fact that we are careworn from pitching/promoting and ready to make more songs, we impulsively release the video for the song Starlight from the album Psycho Social Sexual.
