Troma Films presents In The Dirt!
May 26, 2010
We began our first collaboration with Lloyd Kaufman and the crew at Troma Films at DragonCon last fall and wrapped up shooting at Connooga in February. Well, they just finished editing the video, and I couldn’t be more psyched about how things turned out! I would have never thought having my brains stomped out of my head by the Toxic Avenger could be so much damn fun! Here you go, the world premier of “In the Dirt!” Spread the word!
In The Dirt – Directed by LLoyd Kaufman
“The Third House” available to order!
May 13, 2010
My novella, “The Third House” is now available to order from Horror Mall!
The Third House by Andy Deane
-They had driven similar roads on similar nights hundreds of times before. They’d grown accustomed to empty stretches of pavement that led to grimy nightclubs and seedy bars. But on this night, one wrong turn will lead a group of band-mates on tour down a gravel highway to a place where nightmares live, breathe… and walk. Soon the five friends will encounter a family of creatures that are both monstrous and somewhat human at once, and this tour may very well be their last.

Recent interview
May 11, 2010
I just did an interview with author and all around good guy D. A. Adams;
D. A. Adams: How old were you when you first got involved with music? Can you remember what the original allure was?
Andy Deane: Well, if you want to go all the way back to me doing a shitty job of applying make-up to try and look like my favorite guy in KISS, Gene Simmons, I’ll say five or six. My mom sang all the time when I was a kid as did the rest of the family on her side. So, I was just surrounded by it from the time I understood what music was. Singing was natural to me, something I assumed everyone did.
DA: Can you describe your creative process for music?
Andy: A melody will jump into my head for no reason at all at the oddest times. Like, an idea for a ballad will strike me while I’m walking down the frozen food aisle at the grocery store. I don’t know why the hell it happens, but I guess I’m glad it does. Once I get back to my studio I often start by laying down some simple chords set to a loop and build on that foundation until I finish the song. I write most of my vocal melodies by singing nonsense in a stream of conscience fashion, then apply words to what I come up with.
