From the Open Blog: Dead Professional to Play IOTA 4/25

€œ"I’ve got nothing to hide behind,"€ goes the opening line of one of Dead Professional‘€™s wry, Nick Lowe-esque alt-pop songs. And indeed what you hear is what you get throughout all of this VA-based one-man band’€™s work. The soulful vocals and old-school simplicity of the songwriting are boldly underlined by brutally stark arrangements (usually just vocals, guitar and a simple drum machine). But while the songs may be short and the arrangements lean, they can pack a surprising emotional punch.

Dead Professional will be at Iota in Arlington on Thursday April 25th.
