About
Useful Chamber is a Dirty Projectors fansite. Dirty Projectors is a Brooklyn-based vocal/instrumental group and the musical project of David Longstreth. The group comprises David Longstreth (vocals, guitar, musical direction), Amber Coffman (vocals, guitar), Angel Deradoorian (vocals, keyboards/bass), Brian Mcomber (drums), Haley Dekle (vocals) and Nat Baldwin (bass).
I haven’t attempted a biography here. There are a few on the web, such as the Wikipedia entry and this early one on Allmusic. I would suggest the most authoritative and comprehensive source for background information on Dirty Projectors, although not available in written form, is the Walker Arts Center interview with David Longstreth. For a shorter print article on the history of Dirty Projectors, try Why Dirty Projectors Is One of the Most Risk-Taking Groups of All from New York magazine.
About me - my name is Miles. I live in London and I make music as Vanilla Swingers. Besides Dirty Projectors, some of my other musical favourites are Blonde Redhead, The Fall, The Mamas & The Papas and Scritti Politti.
