In 2005, Deleted Scenes entered a commodious hellhole in East Baltimore to record the four songs that would make up the “Deleted Scenes” EP. Following the album’s release, the band hit the road in Scheffey’s father’s airbrushed, self-portrait-slathered bread van, playing scores of dates across the US in an attempt to get people to like them. After having their van covered with faded denim in Gary, Indiana, Deleted Scenes relocated to Washington, D.C where they subsisted exclusively on Ethiopian fir-fir and recorded only raindrops for three months. It was around this time in 2007 that Deleted Scenes stumbled upon a surrealistic plop of a record called “Sookie Jump” by one “L. Skell” (of The Rude Staircase), and immediately went on a crusade to hunt down the now bald and olfactorily unpleasant recluse. Wearing sneakers, the band drove up to Skell’s West Philadelphia dungeon, only to find him in a salvia, nutmeg and EPMD-induced stupor. After haranguing him for 10 straight hours, Skell finally agreed to help in the creation of what would become “Birdseed Shirt”. Following tender sessions with heroic soundsmith J. Robbins, the band holed up in Skell’s dark, dank hermitage for 17 months collecting like stamps every last perfumed essence of sound until what resulted was not only a mellifluous, anthemic collage of existential joy and despair, but the best pop record of 2009. Dig! ” - www.myspace.com/deletedscenes “Birdseed Shirt”, Deleted Scenes first full length record, unclenches your chest and pours sonic Elysian Fields inside, waterboarding your viscera with unspeakably catchy hooks and unbridled, youthful senescence.”|—What Delicate Recordings www.deletedscenesmusic.com 2.
