Beginning as a solo project for singer, frontman, and devilish ringmaster Danny Rendo; Deconbrio has evolved into a superstar project that crosses over all media fronts — acquiring talents from all of Knoxville’s creative scenes. The lineup currently consists of Rendo’s now wife all around “diva divine” Ashley Fantastic; local comic, podcast personality, and on-again-off-again anti-hero Wolfegang Grey (aka Sam Donnelly); everyone’s favorite local “boylesque” personality and goth DJ Peppy Schlongstocking/Dappr-K (aka Kevin Humler); and potentially immortal elf and stealer of hearts Christina Kanoa.
Deconbrio has shared the stage with many national acts; and received much acclaim in the local scene over their short time here; they were included on several “Best Of” lists, and winning the first Knoxville Competitive Music Video Awards. Last year, Deconbrio released its 5th studio endeavor; a re-imagining of their debut album “Obsessions of a False Idol”.

Deconbrio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is this all a hallucination
Can you make it seem
Like there's no sign of devastation
Where do we go from here
Don't let it disappear
Kill the distance
This existence of
Hope is
Fairly an instance that
Can't compare
But my resistance will
Still be there
Is this all a dream
Is this all a hallucination
Can you make it seem
Like there's no sign of devastation
Where do we go from here
Don't let it disappear
Dare I say this
As if you care
I never feel the same
And that's not fair
It's a price I pay
And I'm not scared
There's some things you just
Can't repair
Is this all a dream
Is this all a hallucination
Can you make it seem
Like there's no sign of devastation
Where do we go from here
Don't let it disappear
Tell me what I have to do
Is there room for me and you
