"The Corrupters’ Weakend is an adventurous power pop work by a Seattle loner" - Nick Hanover / Loser City. "It’s about as melodramatic as you can get." - Dusty Henry / Preamp Music “...With cover art looking like an ’80s slasher flick VHS cover take on Twin Peaks, Weakend has the green melancholic aesthetic of so many of its Seattle predecessors, and that carries through to the music inside, holding to that power pop promise but also coating it in the kind of seasonal affectiveness disorder doldrums that only Manchester seems to be able to compete with Seattle on. The result is an EP with a lot of odd DNA strands that make classifying it a lot harder than its own copy suggests– for every Nerves element there’s some Black Flag and Ramones, for every Magazine topping there’s some Cars and Fountains of Wayne. And while it sounds like the kind of lost artifact Seattle reissue label Light in the Attic might dig up, it’s all the creation of Bill Conrad Doerrfeld, who wrote and played everything on the EP." -Nick Hanover / Preamp Music Bill Conrad Doerrfeld has previously performed in bands Fit For Hounds, Hibou, Maiah Manser, and currently plays guitar and sings in a psychedelic rock band called Close Encounter. While living in Seattle and attending the University of Washington, Doerrfeld started a home-recording studio, Wallingford Recording Collective, which produced some first recordings for Seattle natives Red Ribbon, Dead Bars, Snuff Redux, The Corrupters, and others. Bill also makes dream pop electro acoustic sounds under the monicker Banadu. Bill started on jazz trumpet as a kid and has his awesome family to thank for his life long interest in making music. His father, also a Bill Doerrfeld, is a jazz pianist and orchestral composer. His mother Valerie is a cellist with the Northwest Sinfonietta and the best cello teacher the world has ever seen. His sister Alicia plays classical guitar better than he could ever hope to.
