Biography
Deporitaz (formerly "Trapezoid") was Neil Cicierega’s musical project preceding "Lemon Demon". The main difference between "Lemon Demon" and Deporitaz is that Deporitaz produced mostly instrumentals. There were a few exceptions, including a track that was made into a music video and later remade on "Hip To The Javabean", entitled "I Know Your Name". To this day, fans usually prefer the earlier version. Another exception is "Wizard Hat Pie", which features guest lead vocals by "Dave Kelly". During this era, Neil also occasionally recorded under the name "MEGO vs. SPAGO".
Shortly after Neil abandoned the "Trapezoid" moniker and moved on to "Lemon Demon", he was contacted by a previously established band by the name of "Trapezoid", who asked him to change the name, despite Neil’s "Trapezoid" being defunct. Neil complied, and his "Trapezoid" is now known by the anagram Deporitaz.
