Desaparecidos – What's New for Fall
Tags
Biography
Omaha NE, United States (2001 – 2002, 2012 – present)
This project however was restarted in 2010.
Oberst may be better known for his confessional songwriting and storytelling as the lead singer of the popular indie folk band Bright Eyes, but Desaparecidos has a very different flavor. Indeed, similar vocal melodies and song structures are present, but the guitars are loud and distorted, the bass is pounding, and the drums and keyboards round out this hi-energy without the lyrical focus of personal relationships. Oberst screams observational commentary about urban development, the sacrifice of human value for the dollar bill, and the new American Dream.
Setting out to capture the rawness of the band, the record was recorded over one week at Presto! Recording Studio in Lincoln with producer Hugh Joseph. Bright Eyes fans will love it, but it’ll also appeal to anyone who’s ever dug At the Drive-In, Pixies, Weezer, Dinosaur Jr., etc.
“Desaparecidos” means literally “the disappeared” in Spanish and in Portuguese, and is a reference to people who were arrested by various South American military governments and then vanished without a trace. From 1976 to 1983 in Argentina, for example, thousands of dissidents vanished without a trace under a Dirty War driven by the military junta that was in power.

This band is so good musically but tonight between songs, Conor Oberst told me not to buy a sports car knowing full well he had a huge, luxury RV for him and his band mates to return to when the show was over.

So happy that these guys are releasing new material again... fuck! I know I've said it before in this same shoutbox, but I owe a good deal to this band. They opened me up to a whole "subculture" I once dismissed as whiny garbage punk for well-dressed, privileged, suburban white kids (which, to be fair, a lot of it is, but I digress...). that was until I heard RM/SS around '02. I definitely would not have gotten into Bright Eyes without getting into Desa. first, and I probably wouldn't have nearly the same appreciation for "Post-Hardcore" in general that I have now.

Does anyone have a Desaparecidos London Electric Ballroom ticket for sale? I'm really desperate to go! Tried posting on Gumtree today and just got loads of scammers replying. I'm willing to pay at least double... please help. Really want to hear my favourite songs live! x
