Deranged Diction Releases Double Disc Set - Reunion shows scheduled
05.06.09
Original Montana Hardcore band featuring Jeff Ament releases a double disc set available now on Feedback Records at https://www.pearljam.com/max and coming >>> to an independent record store near you. The set features a re-release of the band's original cassette-only 1983 debut "No Art, No Cowboys, No Rules" on the first disc. The second disc documents a reunion where 10 songs come to life after 25 years.

Here's Jeff's account:

Deranged Diction, Montana’s First Hardcore Band

Missoula, Montana, 1981-83.


Jon Donahue and I met Bruce Fairweather skateboarding the brick banks at the University of Montana in September of 1981. Within a month, we were rehearsing as Deranged Diction with Bill the drummer, playing songs by Black Flag, 999, the Dead Kennedys, the Ramones and the Clash. We played a half dozen shows that school year, mostly with new drummer Sergio Avenia, with a summer assignment to write some of our own songs. Fall quarter 1982, Jon moved back to California, so we needed a new singer. Tom Kipp approached us and we wrote and recorded our first batch of songs which included "Pruning" which ended up on a compilation called "We Got Power" and the Flipper-inspired "Periscope." Tim Healy took over vocals in March of 1983 and we wrote and recorded six new songs, including "Only" and "I'm an Amerikan." We put these songs on a cassette called "No Art, No Cowboys, No Rules" and sold and traded them through fanzines likeMaximum Rock and Roll and Flipside.

Deranged Diction, Seattle Era

Seattle, Washington, 1983-84.
Sergio, Bruce and I decided to move to Seattle in May of 1983 with the idea of finding a new singer for our band. We put a "singer wanted" ad in the Rocket and our first tryout with Rod Moody was a great fit, and he played guitar which gave us a bigger heavier sound. We wrote 10 new songs with Rod and played shows at the Metropolis with the Butthole Surfers, Husker Du, Ill Repute, Stalag 13 and local Seattle bands the Accused, Malfunkshun, the Rejectors and the Silly Killers.

In early 1984, I quit the band to start Green River with Mark, Steve and Alex. Unfortunately, we never recorded a song.

Seattle, Washington, 2008.
I ran into Rod at Easy Street Records and reminisced about our days in Deranged Diction and he mentioned having a rehearsal tape of the songs we wrote together. I listened and we thought it was a shame that we never recorded them. Rod and I approached Bruce and Sergio about recording those songs. We went into Avast studios and recorded and mixed it in 4 days in the spirit of how we might have done it 24 years earlier. It was a blast playing with my old friends again and it’s sounds pretty damn good, if I say so myself.

-- Jeff Ament, formerly Jeff Diction

hehe, I like the artwork. Not sure if I like the music but it's cool that they release this disc. I like the idea and hopefully more related records will be distributed through the tenclub. Like Brad or Stone solo stuff.

I bought this today at a local shop. There is a sticker on it for http://www.thinkindie.com. I go to the site just to see how much they're selling the CD for. They don't sell it. :|
