You.May.Die.In.The.Desert is a three-piece instrumental band from Seattle, WA.
The band originally formed as a two-piece in early 2005 by Brandon Salter and Brian Woods.
Their first recordings were nothing more than bass, guitar, some effects, a drum machine, and a tape 4-track recorder.
These demos attracted both local and out of state attention.
After only playing a handful of local shows they were invited on tour by Boulder, Colorado's Strangers Die Every Day.
After returning from tour, Brandon and Brian decided they needed a live drummer to complete their sound. Local drummer Michael Clark filled the position in the fall of 2006.
You.May.Die.In.The.Desert have a hard-working DIY ethic that works well for them.
They have completed three west coast tours and this past summer had the opportunity to tour Japan.
You.May.Die.In.The.Desert are featured on Volume I of the Harmonic Motion series.
