DESERTS : On February 26, 2012, Sebastien Grainger announced on his Twitter account that Bad Tits had changed their name to DESERTS. Deserts is Sebastien Grainger, of  DEATH FROM ABOVE, and Joshua Reichmann, formerly of TANGIERS. The duo began playing shows in early 2010, with Grainger on drums and samplers, Reichmann on guitar and keyboards, and both singing. They released a debut vinyl 7″ and digital EP titled Garbage Night via Hand Drawn Dracula.

“Sebastien Grainger and Josh Reichmann delve deeper into the garage-y post-punk inclinations of their former projects, and experiment a bit more with electronics” – XLR8R

“A propulsive bit of strangeness that sounds like Philip Glass mashed into Bronski Beat mashed into David Bowie. From Garbage Night 7? EP on sexy new Hand Drawn Dracula label.” – THE STAR

“Fusing their past noisy sex metal sounds into a new proggy / krouty / synthy / garage storm” – DAZED

“Sebastien Grainger is back with a vengeance. Instead of doing a DFA 1979 Part Deux, the two have teamed up to make an EP that plays as if Evangelis had teamed up w/Health.” – CAUSE = TIME

“a synth heavy, dirty, sweaty, bleeping, garagey beast of a record” – THE LINE OF BEST FIT

“Sebastien Grainger new band – set to make its own mark” – CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
