Degenerate Era

The Inner Party is a Fayetteville, AR based band that has never fit neatly into genre categorization. Described as everything from post punk to space rock to experimental noise, the band revolves around the creative relationship between singer/guitarist Keith Miller and bassist Dave Morris. After playing together casually in various projects, Miller and Morris formally established the Inner Party in 2007. Miller previously performed in The Proles with James Esper (EBM artist Esper Machine, currently signed to Assemblage 23's 23db label) and Joey King (of Polyvinyl recording artists The M's). Also, Morris played with Dean Berner of Big Machine (Taylor Swift's label) recording artists Edens Edge. In 2008, the band self-released it's debut EP, Honky Heretics. Described by Nightflying as The Pixies with a little bit of Ween and a lot of every band your mother would hate, the physical release sold out and it is now only available digitally. After performing behind Honky Heretics regionally in 2008 and 2009, the band entered into a lengthy hiatus while Miller and Morris pursued other interests. The band resumed full time live performances in late 2011, with new members Jimmy Holloway (guitar) and Ezra Quinn (drums). In June 2012, the band was awarded free recording time at East Hall Recording Studio, where they recorded their latest EP, Degenerate Era with Chris Moore (Thunderlizards, Pagiins). After raising over $2,000 via Kickstarter, the Inner Party self-released Degenerate Era on November 20, 2012. The Inner Party has performed with Lucero, Ashtray Babyhead, The Good Fear, Dreamfast, The JV All-Stars, Broncho, The Heat Machine, The Moving Front, The See, A Good Fight, The Blind Pets, Benjamin del Shreve, Zoroaster, Queen Beast, Randall Shreve and the Sideshow, Fauxnz, KTP, Universe Contest, Friday Maybe Saturday, Sioux City Pete and the Beggars, Lizard Police, The Dirty Mugs, The Supporting Cast, Pagiins, Potions, The Radio Sky, The Holy Shakes, Memphis Pencils, and many other regional and local bands.
