Death By Audio’s Edan Wilber On What Happened With Vice, and What’s Next
By Nicole Disser, Bedford+Bowery
Life for Edan Wilber has changed dramatically in the two weeks since his Williamsburg DIY venue Death By Audio hosted its last show. “My sleep schedule has, like, 180′d one hundred percent,” he laughed. “I go to bed at like 9 p.m. now.”
When we spoke with Edan this morning he was kicked back on a porch where he’s living in St. Petersburg, Florida. “It’s almost been two weeks since we closed, and I pretty much moved the very next day,” he said. “I had 40 shows in a row, and now I’ve had two weeks of not seeing anything. It’s pretty weird.”
He seems to be enjoying the time off and new scenery, though. “I always fantasize about starting something down here, but it’s just so out of the way,” he said. “But there are just so many freaks and artists here. Like I’ll go to the doughnut shop, and it’s like wow, that person needs a place to hang out.”
But if things go his way, he won’t be staying in Florida forever. Though Edan was vague about when exactly a new venue could open up, it sounds like the same people running DBA are looking forward to starting fresh.
