My Dad Is Dead

My Dad Is Dead was formed by Mark Edwards in 1985 after a stint drumming in [a954188]. While primarily an Edwards solo project, a small rotating cast of musicians also joined the band for live performances and on some recordings - most notably [a840447]'s [a311149] (who also recorded and/or produced most of MDID's output until around 1993), and a pre-[a4727] [a3545]. After the release of [r=2399703] in 2009 Edwards wound down the My Dad Is Dead project, with a farewell performance taking place in 2011 and the debut album from his new band, [a4087753], being released the following year.

Members: John McEntire, Matt Swanson, Chris Burgess, Doug Gillard, Scott Pickering, Shayne Ivy, and Jeff Curtis (2)
