Musician

[edit]

Brian Deck attended college as a performance major and excelled at both drum set and general percussion instruments. On many of the albums Deck produces, he contributes to some sort of instrument or vocal parts. Many of his albums include extensive percussion instruments and techniques. While recording the band Red Red Meat at Idful Studios, he was asked to join the band behind the kit. He remained there until the bands disbanding in early 2000. Since then he has had a loose connection with Tim Rutili's Califone. He and Tim also collaborated with Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock for the band Ugly Casanova. Deck produced and played drums on their sole album, Sharpen Your Teeth; he also toured behind the record. According to Richard Edwards of Margot and the Nuclear So and So's, as of 2009, Deck was the new drummer in his side project Vegetables.

Producer

[edit]

Working early on out of Idful Studios with Brad Wood and later out of Engine Studios, Deck has produced a number of both local Chicago musicians as well as widely known international acts. He is represented exclusively by Andy Kipnes and Mark Beaven of Advanced Alternative Media.[1]
