Origins The band is a duo made up of William Freed and Richard Bell. The band has also collaborated with other artists including William Freed's wife Jessica Rae Freed of Bear Ears Old Folks Home/ Lions To Lightning Originally from Clarkston, MI, William Freed and Richard Bell moved to Minneapolis, MN in the Fall of 2008 before starting Dada Trash Collage later that year. When asked about the bands inspiration by the music blog Ash Tapes, William Freed said "Dada Trash Collage to me, is all about composing with sound rather than instruments. It really allows me to keep things exciting for myself to know that anything and everything can become part of the final product." Dada Trash Collage released their first album Old Folks Home in January of 2009. Less than 4 months later they would release their second full length record "Lions To Lightning" on April, 11th 2009. Around this time Dada Trash Collage began gaining notoriety in the Minneapolis music scene for their "Avant-Garde" live shows , as well as their "Prolific Output" rapidly releasing new material. Rain War Ep/ Neighbors In October of 2009 Dada Trash Collage traveled to Seattle, Wa to begin work on their 3rd studio album with producer Scott Colburn. They spent ten days in the studio recording what would become their next two releases, the 4 song Rain War EP, and their third full length record Neighbors. When asked in an Interview for Minneapolis City Pages about working with Scott Colburn, William Freed said "The amount of knowledge he has is so incredible," says William Freed. The singer originally emailed Colburn on a whim, but the producer invited Freed and drummer Richard Bell to stay with him and his wife so that the pair could record with him in Seattle. "I've worked with producers before in other bands, but never with someone who knew exactly what I was trying to accomplish and what it would sound like. I learned a lot just being out there." 2010 Tours/Festivals Shortly after the Release of Neighbors in May of 2010, Dada Trash Collage started gaining attention from national and international music publications. When Richard Bell stopped playing with the band in early 2010 for medical reasons, Freed continued Dada Trash Collage as a solo project. Playing mostly new material Dada Trash Collage spent the majority of 2010 touring the United States including a tour with Zola Jesus, and Jabon (Scott Colburn), and stop
