For Def

For Def is the “for fun” band of Jack, Maddie, and Mike from Asheville. It started as a weekly jam and has turned into a “real band” because they are working on a tape now. For Def is a “jam band” however before you jump to conclusions it is still pretty chill and people have said that its “kind of like shoegazey” and “also mostly groovy?” So far, a lot of the music has been improvised live but For Def is currently working towards through-composed tunes that are low-key contemplative and emotional and only go high-key full-slap a few times. Overall, you will probably think “nice, this is actually pretty chill. I could listen to this on a pleasant drive, maybe on the way to a hike or something like that.” There is electric guitar (Maddie), bass (Mike), and drum set (Jack) and sometimes – on the demos they are working on – there is a lush synth pad in there too.
