Bed Maker's origins date back to summer 2019, when bassist
Arthur Noll (Light Beams, Kid Congo Powers) and drummer
Vin Novara (The Crownhate Ruin, 1.6 Band), each having played in Alarms & Controls, invited guitarist
Jeff Barsky (Insect Factory, Time Is Fire) to collaborate and see what might happen. By autumn, they invited
Amanda MacKaye (Desiderata, Routineers) to join them, and the chemistry was immediate. In February 2020 at DC's Rhizome,
Bed Maker played their first show and then paused their activities the following month, as did most people.
Bed Maker resumed playing shows in November 2022.
