2008, Dischord
VINYL FORMAT. "Edie Sedgwick" - the nom de plume Moyer swiped from a forgotten Andy Warhol Superstar - became a vehicle for new songs, writing, and video art about mainstream celebrity culture. Like many outsider artists, Moyer was prolific - he started a blog at www.ediesedgwick.biz and released Her Love is Real, But She is Not, a sprawling electroclash full-length, on Desoto Records in 2005. After a ill-fated solo European tour in 2006 - a mid-air seizure forced the grounding of Moyer's 747 in
Prague, where he was detained by Czech authorities for possession of contraband pantyhose - Moyer's family convinced him to start performing with a back-up band for safety's sake. Edie's funky collaborations with the DC punk diaspora - including members of the Dusters, Soccer Team, the Evens, Aquarium, and Medications - resulted in Things are Getting Sinister and Sinisterer, ten songs produced by MacKaye for release on Dischord in November of 2008. At Moyer's insistence, Things are Getting Sinister and Sinisterer will be released on vinyl and mp3 only - a Dischord first. To further his vision of "an inter-actable record," Moyer will post videos for each track on www.ediesedgwick.biz between now and the release date. The results will offer a startling glimpse into a most unusual mind.
