_what
website and street team site for the los angeles-based, rock band, deadsy
_how

deadsy got in touch with us after our work on the experimental fansite, deadsy.tv. they wanted us to overhaul their existing site in a fashion that was as true as possible to their new record phantasmagore and to everything deadsy had come to represent. knowing full-well we were fans of the band, they gave us free reign to do what we wanted as long as the site was, for the most-part, information first and looks second.

secondly they wanted us to put together a forum to accompany the site that also doubled as a street team hub and organization platform. the vanilla forum was perfectly made for the task given the level to which it can be customized. we built into it various sign-up forms, promotional item request forms, dynamic events forms and an integrated live chat system.

_what
fan-site for the los angeles-based, rock band, deadsy
_how
born out of our enjoyment of deadsy's music, deadsy.tv was a side project of ours that gave us a chance to experiment with some older technologies we'd used for the thomasnewbolt.com website. it was the band's new 'tv test signal' logo that primarily inspired the project and lead us to choose the .tv domain. the idea was basically that your computer was intercepting a fairly weak but yet prevailent pirate signal from the band. the end result was a site that deadsy fans the world round have applauded and that also lead to us helping out with deadsy's own website deadsy.com and the band's myspace pages.
