The Fall on Deaf Ears

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fall on Deaf Ears was a musical group from El Paso most notable for featuring Cedric Bixler Zavala of At the Drive-In and The Mars Volta, who played drums, Clint Newsom of Rhythm of Black Lines and The Hades Kick on guitar. The Fall on Deaf Ears played post-hardcore typical of bands such as Bikini Kill, The Nation of Ulysses and Circus Lupus. They played live shows with bands such as Propagandhi, Egon and Select Your Fighter. The act only recorded a handful of songs before bassist Laura Beard and guitarist Sarah Reiser were killed in a car wreck in 1996. They were both 17 years old.

In the 5 recorded tracks, samples of Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" can be heard.

Cedric Bixler moved on to At the Drive-In from The Fall on Deaf Ears and later to The Mars Volta. In many songs you can hear his call to his lost friends and band members.

At the Drive-In(Acrobatic Tenement) Ticklish

"please get some medication simple. it's simple... we must die with dignity. pallbearer we are and all that we never get and all my little pushes fall on your deaf ears"

At the Drive-In(Acrobatic Tenement)Coating of arms

"secret service, we deserve this we lost the friends to the pavement to the pavement"

At the Drive-In(In/Casino/Out)Napoleon Solo

"cut and paste were you sitting down on the beaded impotence of new orleans a hint of suspense when that telephone rings this is forever

it paved a wave of distance between the syntax error from austin's yellow brick road this is forever

from this texas breath exhaled no sign of relief cause this you know, this you know this is forever

March 23rd hushed the wind, the music died if you can't get the best of us now it's cause this is forever

seventeen, embalmed and caskets lowered into the weather a drizzle, brisk and profound from this texas breath exhaled

this is forever it is because this is forever but you can't get the best of us now."
