Bed Maker

Bed Maker's origins date back to summer 2019, when bassist Arthur Noll(Light Beams, Kid Congo Powers) and drummer Vin Novara (The CrownhateRuin, 1.6 Band), each having played in Alarms & Controls, invitedguitarist Jeff Barsky (Insect Factory, Time Is Fire) to collaborateand see what might happen. By autumn, they invited Amanda MacKaye(Desiderata, Routineers) to join them, and the chemistry wasimmediate. In February 2020 at DC's Rhizome, Bed Maker played theirfirst show and then paused their activities the following month, asdid most people.Due to the state of the world in 2020 and 2021, they continued writingmusic through sharing recordings. Mike Schleibaum assisted byassembling home recordings of their individual parts into workingdemos. This allowed them to keep momentum, and by the time in-personrehearsals resumed, a handful of songs and new ideas were close tofruition. Bed Maker resumed playing shows in November 2022.Following a self-released digital single ("Miss Dickens") and an EP(Three on the Tree) -- each recorded with Schleibaum and Matt Michelat Viva Studios -- Bed Maker began work on their self-titled LP in May2023 with Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara at the original Inner EarStudio in his basement in Arlington, VA, and with Mike Schleibaum athis home studio in Maryland.That their debut LP even exists is only possible thanks to the supportof family and many friends, and also serves as an act of defiance tothe horrors of the last four-plus years.
