dEUS arrive at Reading having warmed up at Glasgow's T In The Park. They're currently writing material for their second album, which they will record later this year for release in early '96. Stef has a single 'TV Song', and LP, 'Everyday I Wear A Greasy Black Feather On My Hat', set for release with his other band, Moondog Jr. To help get them in that Reading frame of mind, we asked dEUS to complete a Volume questionnaire.
