The CD >> Better Off
On September 11, 2005, King Mixer set out to record about a half dozen songs in a steamy, make-shift studio located on the third floor of a friend's house in Mount Pleasant, Washington. It turned out to be a marathon session — nearly thirteen hours — that ultimately captured a dozen of the band’s best original songs. Almost every song was captured in one take with the assistance of Norman van der Sluys at the controls. Now, almost a year later, after more mind-numbing late-night mixing sessions than you likely have fingers, the evidence is out.

“Better Off,” King Mixer’s self-released collection, captures the music, energy, noise — warts and all — of a band doing what they love best. “Better Off” features twelve songs that reflect the experiences of the band, and its two principal song writers Dan and James. The lyrics are stories about the things you did but shouldn’t have, the things you should have said but didn’t, and the reasons you don’t or can’t remember what, why or when.

The Band
King Mixer is based in and around Washington, DC. Each member of the band has spent the majority of their life playing in a number of notable and unnoted musical projects ranging from punk to hard rock, new wave to industrial noise. King Mixer is an amalgam of all these sounds and experiences, and reflects the members’ passion for and experience with music.
